Phyllocephalinse, Urolabidinse, and Acanthosominae. 221 



IJab. China, Kiukiang (Pratt, Brit. Mus.) ; Shantung 

 (Coll. Dist.) ; Rangoon and Pegu (Atkins. Coll., Brit. Mus.). 



I have long possessed a single specimen from Shantung ; 

 and as the British Museum now contains six other specimens 

 from Kiukiang, I have not hesitated to separate them, as 

 constituting a distinct species. All the general characters are 

 those of C. obscura. The connexivum is generally spotted 

 with ochraceous and there is usually a small central basal 

 ochraceous spot to the scutellum. The antennae are shorter 

 and the joints broader and more spatulate than in C. obscura. 



Cychpelta ? vilis. 

 Cyclopelta vilis, Walk. Cat. Ilet. iii. p. 478. n. 6 (1868). 



The typical and only specimen of this species which I 

 have seen possesses merely the first, second, and third joints 

 of one antenna. It may probably prove to be a species of the 

 genus At-poiiyopus.

Aspongopus binotatus, sp. n. 



Above dark castaneous ; apical joint of antennse and two 

 small spots at apex of scutellum luteous; base of lateral 

 margins of corium and body beneath ochraceous ; legs dark 

 castaneous. 



Second joint of antennas minute, third much longer than 

 fourth. Pronotum obscurely transversely rugulose ; scutellum 

 distinctly wrinkled; corium very obscurely tomentose; femora 

 with their inner margins spinous. 



Long. 17-19 millim. ; max. abd. lat. 11-12 millim. 



Bab. Nyasaland (Sir If. Johnston, Brit. Mus.). 



By the minute second joint of the antennae this species is 

 allied to A. patruelis, Stal.
