described by Mr. F. Walker now in British Museum. 277 
26. Strongylium parabolicum, op. cit. i, 285. 
S. bifoveolatum Mak. 
Walker’s species was not recognised by Miklin, who, 
misled doubtless by its being placed by Walker between 
two species of Camarimena, assumed that it also should 
be placed in the latter genus. 
27. Strongylium elegans (Allecula), op. cit. i, 285. 
Type unique in British Museum. 
Eyes large, almost contiguous for some distance. Antenna? 
(defective) very slender, joints 3-7 elongate, successively shorter, 
each becoming gradually thicker from base to apex, 7th joint about 
four times as long as its apical width. Thorax feebly transverse, 
sides sinuate, widest just before the middle, lateral carinae obsolete ; 
apex truncate, anterior angles obsolete, base feebly bisinuate ; 
dise convex, rugose punctate without marked impressions. Elytra 
4 wider than thorax, subcylindrical, striae coarsely and closely 
punctate, punctures squarish, each with a smal] tubercle in the 
middle of the sides; alternate (3rd, 5th and 7th) interstices wider 
than the rest, the suture and the 4th and 6th intervals infuscate. 
Legs slender, hind tarsi nearly as long as their tibiae, hind femora 
searcely reaching penultimate abdominal segment. 
The elytral sculpture is very similar to that .of S. cla- 
thratum Makl., but the whole insect is more slender, 
especially the antennae and legs; the lateral carina of the 
thorax is wanting, eyes larger and closer together. 
N.B.—Two insects placed by Walker in the family 
Diaperidae (op. cit. i, p. 259) are determined by Mr. G. 
J. Arrow as follows :— 
Tritoma BIFACIES = Strongylus (Chilocorus) opponens 
Walk. (fam. Nitidulidae). 
T. praeposita = Amblyopus CINCTIPENNIS Lac. (fam. 
Erotylidae). 
Fam. CISTELIDAE. 
28. Allecula fusiformis, op. cit. 11, 285. 
This and the following species are closely allied, but the 
accompanying additional details may help to identify 
them.
