Genus MEGA.LOCERJEA. (Vol. II, p. 424.) 



MEGALOCEB^EA ANTENNATA. (Vol. II, p. 424.) 



Since I described this species from Kurseong'I have received a 

 number of specimens from the same locality, which afford an 

 opportunity of a more precise diagnosis. In fresh specimens the 

 colour is virescent, not " dull pale ochraceous," which is, however, 

 the hue in older and more dried examples. In fresh specimens 

 the antennae are castaneous-brown with the basal joint virescent, 

 speckled with sanguineous ; the legs are also virescent with the 

 apical halves of the posterior tibiae and all the tarsi castaneous 

 brown, the tarsal claws black ; the basal joint of the antennae is 

 moderately thickened and strongly hirsute, the remaining joints 

 slender, the second joint twice as long as first and subequal in 

 length to third, fourth joint greyishly pubescent and much shorter 

 than third. 



Add : Hal. Darjiiing, 6000 ft. (Bmnetti). 



" Swept from grass and low herbage." 



MEGALOCEBJEA DOHEBTYI. (Vol. II, p. 425.) 



Since describing this species from Tenasserim I have examined 

 a series of fresh specimens from Calcutta. In the latter the 

 colour is pale virescent rather than the pale ochraceous in older 

 and dried examples ; antennae purplish-red, first joint about as 

 long as head, second about or nearly twice as long as first ; the 

 exposed mesonotum with a dark spot on each side, black in fresh 

 specimens, brownish in faded examples. 



Add: Hab. Calcutta, Darjiiing, 6000 ft. (Brunetti). Orissa; 

 Balighai, near Puri (Annandale). Ceylon ; Trincomalee (Green). 



Genus LASIOMIRIS to replace Matenesius. (Vol. II, p. 425.) 



Lasiorniris, Rent. Rev. d'Ent. 1891, p. 130. 

 Matenesius, Dist. (vol. ii, p. 425). 



Lasiomiris albopilosus, Leth. (Miris) Ann. Mus. Civ. Gen. (2) vi, 



p. 464 (1888). 



Lasiomiris lineaticollis, Rent. Rev. d'Ent. 1891, p. 130. 

 Matenesius marginatus, Dist. (vol. ii, p. 426). 



Add : Hdb. Sumatra, Java. 



I had consulted Reuters description of his genus Lasiomiris, 

 but had been led astray by the undue prominence given to one 

 character: "body above with hemielytra longly pilose." This 

 may have also been the cause of Eeuter redescribing Lethierry's 

 species.
