metatarsus rather longer than remaining joints; calcar of posterior tibia 

 equal to half the length of the metatarsus. Total length 21,5 mm; 

 length of body 15 mm; length of tegmina 18,5 mm; pronotum 4x6 mm.

It is surprising to find a species of this Palaearctic genus occurring 

 in the tropics. The species is allied to P. sinensis Sauss. but is con- 

 siderably smaller and paler in colour. 



Genus Tivia, Wlk. 



Tivia, Walker. Cat Blatt. Brit. Mus Suppl. p. 153 (18691. 

 Hemilatindia, Saussure, Arm Mus. Civ. Genova vol. XXXV )). 83 (1895). 



I have examined the types of Tivia simulatrix, Wlk. and 

 Hemilatindia doriana, Sauss. and there can be no doubt but that 

 these two species are congeneric; Holocompsa fulva, Burm. also 

 belongs to this genus. De Saussure is in error in describing the tibial 

 spines of H. doriana as bi-seriately arranged, for I find that they are 

 triseriately arranged; for the rest, de Saussure's description is accurate 

 and serves to characterise the genus well enough. It should however be 

 noted that Tivia {=^ Hemilatindia) can scarcely be considered as 

 intermediate between Latindia and Euthyrrapha, for in all its 

 characters it approximates Polyphaga so closely that it is not easy 

 to find a really satisfartory feature to discriminate between the two 

 genera. In T. simulatrix Wlk. and T. doriana Sauss. the tarsal 

 arolia are absent, whereas they are present in T. fulva and the new 

 species here described ; in the sub-family Corydiinae the presence 

 or absence of tarsal arolia does not appear to be a character of 

 much taxonomic importance, tor it varies within the limits of certain 

 genera e. g. Polyphaga, Latindia. 



Tivia morosa, sp. n. 



r<\ Fuscous. Head castaneous, antennae testaceous at base; eyes 

 rather close together on vertex of head, frons swollen, ocelli present 

 and touching the eyes. Pronotum anteriorly strongly arcuate and 

 covering the vertex of the head, posteriorly subtruncate, sides deflexed, 

 anterioi' margin hyaline and rufo-fimbriate, remainder sparsely pubescent. 

 Scutellum exposed. Tegmina considerably exceeding the ai)ex of the 

 al)domen, with some scattered hyaline spots, a distinct stigma in the 

 middle of the marginal area, formed by the incrassation of the costal
