  Bergroth 
  identified 
  and 
  returned 
  a 
  specimen 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  

   labelled 
  " 
  S. 
  qriseiventris, 
  Westw.," 
  with 
  other 
  species 
  to 
  

   which 
  he 
  alluded 
  (Ann. 
  & 
  Mag. 
  Nat. 
  Hist. 
  (8) 
  x. 
  p. 
  191, 
  

   1912). 
  It 
  is, 
  however, 
  quite 
  unlike 
  that 
  species, 
  and 
  even 
  

   the 
  meagre 
  description 
  given 
  by 
  Westwood 
  should 
  prevent 
  

   this 
  confusion. 
  

  

  Serinetha 
  intermedia, 
  sp. 
  n. 
  

  

  A 
  species 
  resembling 
  S. 
  nigrofasciata 
  in 
  general 
  markings 
  

   above 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  only 
  moderately 
  developed 
  longitudinal 
  

   ridge 
  to 
  the 
  pronotuni 
  ; 
  it, 
  however, 
  possesses 
  black 
  lateral 
  

   margins 
  to 
  the 
  corium, 
  as 
  in 
  S. 
  niutilata, 
  Gerst., 
  altliongli 
  

   much 
  more 
  narrowly 
  black 
  tiian 
  in 
  that 
  species, 
  tlie 
  body 
  

   beneath 
  is 
  also 
  almost 
  uniformly 
  ochraceous, 
  and 
  tlie 
  legs 
  

   brownish 
  ochraceous 
  ; 
  the 
  head 
  is 
  fuscous, 
  not 
  black, 
  from 
  

   the 
  area 
  of 
  the 
  ocelli 
  to 
  apex; 
  the 
  lateral 
  margins 
  of 
  tlie 
  

   pronotuni 
  very 
  narrowly 
  fuscous 
  or 
  black; 
  the 
  pronotuni 
  is 
  

   thickly, 
  somewhat 
  coarsely 
  punctate, 
  with 
  the 
  anterior 
  trans- 
  

   verse 
  black 
  fascia 
  as 
  in 
  *S^. 
  niutilata; 
  the 
  body 
  is 
  narrower 
  

   and 
  more 
  compressed 
  than 
  in 
  the 
  otlier 
  two 
  species 
  mentioned 
  

   above.
