10. (7) Body covered with subdecumbent fulvous pubescence ; 
thorax ‘scarcely convex longitudinally, elytra strongly 
gibbous, very uneven, with granule-bearing prominences, 
those of 4th interval being the largest. Length 7 mm. 
gibbosa sp, n. 
24. Hoplobrachium ebeninum (Helops), op. cit. 11, 285, 
H. DENTIPEs F. 
H. asperipenne Fairm. 
The type of H. dentipes F., is also in the British Museum, 
and this species is identical with H. ebeninum Walk. The 
Museum also possesses a specimen purporting to come from 
Mauritius that is probably correctly identified as H. 
asperipenne Fairm., from Madagascar, with the description 
and figure of which it agrees well. H. dentipes appears to 
be common in Ceylon and 8. India, but the record from 
Madagascar is possibly erroneous or accidental. The locality 
‘Mauritius’ on the British Museum specimen is quite 
unreliable, other insects received with it undoubtedly 
originating from 8. Africa and also from Ceylon. 
25. Spinamarygmus chrysomeloides (Amarygmus), op. cit. 
i, 285. 
There is no specimen bearing this name in the British 
Museum, but one without a name bearing the same register 
number (59.106) agrees fairly well with the description 
and is assumed to be the type of this species. 
In the Hope collection at Oxford a specimen of Ceropria 
induta Wied., is labelled A. chrysomeloides, but the descrip- 
tion does not fit this. 
The presumed type, a 9, has the anterior femora sharply 
dentate beyond the middle. The elytra are finely senate- 
punctate, the intervals flat. 
The ¢ has the intermediate tibiae bent about the middle, 
the anterior tibiae slightly so. 
I have not been able to identify S. indicus Pic., the type 
of the genus, but Amarygmus alienus Pasc., must certainly 
come within the genus. From this species S. chrysome- 
loides differs in its very much smaller size and in having 
the anterior tibiae’in the g only slightly bent. In S. 
alienus they are very strongly so.
