 sinuate.

16. Habrissus indicus spec. nov. 



c??. Differs from //. tibialis in the following particulars: rostrum longer, 

 much more deeply concave laterally before the eye ; end-segment of antenna 

 luteons ; pronotnm blackish-brown, with grey markings ; brown postmedian band 

 of elytra narrower than in H. tibialis ; pygidium longer ; anal sternite of S 

 less impressed ; metasternal patch of combs of c? larger ; tooth at end of mid- 

 tibia of c? shorter ; first tarsal segment entirely luteons, pubescent grey, fourth 

 segment entirely brown-black. 



Hab. Khasia Hills, Assam. 



Two c?(J, two ? ?. 



The metasternal c^-mark consists in this species and tibialis of transverse rows 

 of flat spines which lie close upon the metasternum, each row resembling a comb. 

 While in tibialis there is a small patch of combs on each half of the sternite, 

 indicus possesses one large undivided mesial patch of combs. 



17. Habrissus rugiceps spec. nov. 



?. Blackish brown, pubescence of upperside dark olive-brown; alternate inter- 

 spaces of elytra tesselated black and grey ; underside pubescent grey ; tibiae black 

 with whitish ring ; third and fourth tarsal segments ruf'ons. 



Rostrum twice as broad as long, rngate, without carina. Occiput longitudinally 

 rugate, with mesial carina, which is suddenly abbreviated anteriorly between the 

 eyes. These widely separate, the frons being half as broad as the rostrum. Pro- 

 thorax rugate-punctate, carina gradually curved laterally, but not becoming 

 longitudinal. Elytra almost gradually declivous from base to apex, subbasal 

 convexity prominent. 



Length, 6 mm.

IS. Acorynus rhodius spec. nov. 



? . Closely resembling in colour Litocerus picttiratus, but differing as follows : 

 the three cariuae of rostrum heavier, the lateral ones obliquely continued to apical 

 angles of rostrum. Antenna much shorter, segment 10 less than half as long again 

 as broad, but half Ihc length of 9. Prothorax broader than in L. picturatus, dorsal 

 carina angulate in middle, slightly biconvex, lateral carina longer, discal vitta 

 broad, not interrupted. Elytra also broader than in L. picturatus, somewhat 

 differently marked : a subbasal ovate spot, a spot occupying humeral angle, a lateral 

 ring behind shoulder, an elongate submedian spot on interstice 4, occupying only 

 half of 3 and of 5, two dots in front of this spot, a sutural spot behind middle, 

 a transverse anteapical band extending from margin to margin, narrow, convex on 

 each elytrum, produced backwards at suture, not forwards, a snblateral median
