and along each side beyond the middle ; legs pale yellow. Head 

 densely rugulose punctate in front, rather sparsely punctulate 

 on the vertex. Antennae about one-third longer than the body in 

 the d, slightly longer than the body in the $; sparsely setose ; 

 the second joint half as long as the first; third, fourth, and fifth 

 subequal to each other in length. Prothorax of c? about twice as 

 long as its width across the middle, subcylindrical, the sides 

 diverge gradually and but very slightly from the apex to within 

 one-third from the base, then converge to the narrow basal 

 constriction ; the upper surface slightly convex, densely and very 

 finely punctulate and rather opaque ; faintly covered with short 

 tawny pubescence. Prothorax of $ about one-fourth longer than 

 broad. Elytra parallel-sided, rounded and unarmed at the apex, 

 feebly convex above, finely and rather densely punctate, and very 

 sparsely clothed with pale tawny pubescence ; in the d 1 they are 

 about three times as long as the prothorax, in the $ more than 

 three times. 



Length, c? $ , 7-8 ; breadth 1^-2 mm. 



Hab. Ceylon ( tf type in B.M. ; $ in coll. G. Lewis). 



This species resembles T.JHiformis, but is not quite so narrow ; 

 the prothorax is without lines above and the narrow band at base 

 is punctulate and not shiny as in that species. 



94. Tetraommatus bimaculatus, sp. n. 



Dark brown, with a very sparse tawny pubescence ; elytra 

 marked each with a narrow transverse yellow spot that proceeds 

 from the outer margin a little beyond the middle. Antenna dark 

 brown, sparsely ciliate ; third joint twice as long as the first ; 

 second not quite twice as long as it is broad. Prothorax of 

 the c? more than one-third longer than broad, slightly rounded at 

 the sides, widest a little behind the middle, constricted at the 

 base ; upper surface finely and very closely punctulate and dull, 

 ;vith a narrow transverse basal band, smooth, glossy and some- 

 what reddish in colour; three smooth lines (the median one 

 slightly depressed and the lateral ones feebly raised) run from 

 the basal band along the disc ; protborax of the $ shorter, rather 

 sparsely and irregularly granulate above. Elytra three times as 

 long as the prothorax in the cf and relatively longer in the $ ; 

 closely and distinctly punctured, separately rounded at the apex. 

 Body beneath and legs dark brown. 



Length 12-13 ; breadth 2 mm.
