Type, C. stygia, Pasc., a species from Borneo. 



lianye. Ceylon, Burma, Malacca, and Borneo. 



Head prolonged in front to form a muzzle ; narrowed gradually 

 behind the eyes into a more or less distinct neck ; eyes pro- 

 minent, coarsely facetted, feebly emarginate in front. Antennae 

 inserted rather close together on the front at a distance from the 

 eyes ; more than half as long again as the body in the tf 5 first 

 joint long, slightly curved, thickened at the apex ; third joint 

 subequal to the fourth, shorter than the fifth, or any of the 

 succeeding joints. Prothorax with a small conical tubercle at 

 the middle of each side, narrowed strongly in front, somewhat 

 constricted near the apex, narrowed slightly towards the base. 

 Elytra much broader at the base than the base of the prothorax, 

 narrowing backwards from the shoulders, more or less obliquely 

 truncate at the apex. Legs rather long, femora subfusiform in 

 their distal halves ; first joint of hind tarsus much longer than the 

 next two joints united. Intercoxal process of the prosternum 

 strongly arched and rather narrow in the middle, steeply sloped 

 posteriorly and slightly dilated at the end, where it comes into 

 contact with the epimera. 



08. Capnolymma cingalensis, sp. n. 



Dark brown ; varying to reddish brown on the abdomen, 

 legs, and disc of the elytra ; covered rather densely beneath, 

 sparingly above, with dark grey pubescence ; prothorax brownish 

 above, marked with some lines of ashy- 

 white pubescence one median, dividing 

 just before the middle so as to enclose 

 a small lozenge -shaped area, from the 

 lateral angles of which two slightly curved 

 lines run backwards about half-way to the 

 base of the prothorax ; scutellum covered 

 densely with white pubescence. Antennae 

 of c? more than half as long again as the 

 body ; first joint extending by about one- 

 fourth of its length beyond the hind 

 margin of the head, and inserted on the 

 head at a distance of about one-fourth of 

 its length from the front margin of the 

 eye. Prothorax finely rugulose-punctate. 

 Elytra closely and rather strongly punc- 

 tured ; the apices truncate in a slightly 

 oblique direction, unarmed ; the sides 

 nearly black. 



Length 14 ; breadth 5 mm.
