Genus Tholosanus. 

 Tholosanus ? colligata. 

 Fentatoma colligata, Walk. Cat. Het, ii. p. 310, n. 149 (1867). 



I have placed this species doubtfully, or, rather, provisioa- 

 allj, in inj genus Tholosanus^ from which it ditFers by the 

 broad and less attenuated scutelluni. The type and only 

 specimen has the antennse mutilated, and thus exact generic 

 identification is impossible. 



Genus Plexippus. 



Phxippus fulvescens. 

 Rhaphigaster fulvescens, Dall. List Hem. i. p. 2.38. n. 27 (1851). 



Dallas's type and only representative was unlocalized ; in 

 Dr. Atkinson's Indian collection, now in the British Museum, 

 are specimens from Mungphu and Utakamand. 



Sikkim (Coll. Dist.). 



Plexvppus affinis^ sp. n. 



Dull ochraceous, thickly and darkly punctate, the coloration 

 distinctly darker on the head and anterior half of pronotuni ; 

 body beneath and legs very pale ochraceous ; abdominal 

 stigmatal spots black, a castaneous spot on apical segment. 

 Abdomen above reddish ochraceous, the apical area violaceous; 

 connexivum darkly punctate, with small black marginal 

 spots at incisures. 



Antennse fuscous, apical joint ochraceous, apices of fourth 

 and fifth joints piceous, second joint much shorter than the 

 third, third and fourth joints subequal in length ; pronotum 

 with the lateral margins distinctly piceous, the anterior-lateral 

 and anterior margins narrowly ochraceous. Rostrum reaching 

 the posterior coxae. 



Long. 11 millim. ; exp. pronot. angl. 6^ raillim. 



Hah. Continental India, Sikkim (Atkinson Coll. : Brit. 

 Mus.). Naga Hills, W. Yunan (Coll. Dist.). 



The greater length of the rostrum and the shorter second 

 joint of the antennas are not congeneric characters, but scarcely 

 warrant at present the formation of a new genus.
