Elasmostethus nebulosus, sp. n. 



Ochraceous, with coarse brown punctures ; basal spot to

 spots to connexivum black. Pronotum with brownish suffu- 

 sions principally on posterior area and at lateral angles ; 

 scutellum much suffused with dark brownish at base, disk, 

 and at each apical margin ; a small pale levigate spot in each 

 basal angle ; corium with a transverse central and a broad 

 apical brown suffusion ; abdomen above reddish brown, with 

 the extreme apex piceous. 



Antennas with the two basal joints ochraceous, the re- 

 maining joints fuscous, second joint subequal to or slightly 

 shorter than the third. Body beneath and legs ochraceous ; 

 presternum and femora darkly punctate; sternal spots near 

 coxas, stigmatal spots, and outer marginal spots at segmental 

 incisures black. 



Long. 10 millim. ; exp. pronot. angl. 5£ millim. 



Hab. N. India, Naga Hills (Doherty, Coll. Dist.). 



Elasmostethus nilgirensis, sp. n. 



Ochraceous ; basal areas of pronotum and scutellum, claval 

 and apical marginal areas of corium, castaneous or reddish 

 castaneous ; pronotal angles, a basal submarginal line to 

 corium, and apical angle of corium black ; membrane hyaline, 

 fuscous at base and apex ; abdomen above reddish, with the 

 apical area black ; lateral margins of the pronotum, a small 

 spot in each basal angle of the scutellum, and a faint longi-
