not at all infumated towards the apex, a character that is 
always present in all forms of 7. pulchripes. The male 
genitalia are quite like those of 7. pulchripes.

This species, though known from India, has not been 
recorded previously in Ceylon. Two males from India are 
remarkable for the very light sulphurous longitudinal 
stripes on the occiput, pronotum and elytra, as well as 
similarly coloured sides of the head (except brown stripes 
below the eyes); in addition, the median castaneous 
stripe of the pronotum in these specimens, as well as in one 
female from Ceylon, is not faded in its middle, as it 
usually occurs in typical specimens. 
7. Thisoicetrus attenuatus, sp. n. 
The general habitus and coloration of this new species resemble 
very much those of 7. pulchripes Schaum. Head very prominent 
upwards with globose occiput; front strongly reclinate, frontal 
ridge flat, punctured, with smooth margins, parallel below the 
ocellum, slightly widened and again gradually narrowed towards 
the fastigium ; fastigium very prominent, nearly horizontal and very 
slightly impressed; face greenish-yellow with wide black band from 
labrum to fastigium, the lateral carinae of the frontal ridge being 
yellow; cheeks totally black, except an oblong yellowish-green patch 
adjoining the hind margin of the eyes; vertex and occiput with
