3688. Dalpada tauriformis, sp. n. 



Head, pronotum and scutellum ochraceous, with dense, coarse, 

 black punctures ; a small spot at inner margin of each eye. 

 narrow anterior and lateral margins and two transverse cicatrices 

 on anterior area of pronotum, ochraceous or reddish-ochraceous ; 

 a large clear levigate spot at each anterior angle of the 

 scutellum bright, shining ochraceous, and the apical area of the 

 scutellum pale stramineous with sparse black punctures; corium 

 coarsely punctate, excluding the basal and costal areas, which are 

 distinctly suffused with ochraceous, more or less purplish-black ; 

 connexivum ochraceous, with large black spots at the segmental 

 incisures ; membrane piceous, its apical margin ochraceous ; body 

 beneath and the femora ochraceous, coarsely blackly punctate, 

 tibiae and tarsi ochraceous, the bases of the first and the apices of 

 the latter more or less piceous ; antennas brownish-ochraceous, 

 the basal areas of the joints distinctly much paler, third joint 

 longer than second, fourth joint distinctly longest ; eyes pro- 

 minent and obliquely moderately elevated ; pronotal basal lateral 

 angles strong, robust, obtusely pointed, and a little upwardly 

 produced, the lateral margins finely crenulate, a short acute spine 

 at each anterior lateral angle, the pale pronotal cicatrices with 

 interior black punctures. 



Length 16; breadth between pronotal angles 8 millim. 



Hob. South India; Kodaikanal (T. V. Campbell). 



The distinct and prominent character of this fine species is the 

 strongly produced pronotal lateral angles. In this respect and in 

 general appearance it is allied to D. pilicornis, St,l (vol.i, p. 114). 



DALPADA ABMATICEPS, Bredd. Ann. Soc. Ent. Befy. liii, p. 266 (1909). 



Breddin has described this species as a Ceylonese representa- 

 tive of D. clavata (vol. i, p. 113). In vol. iv, p. 433 (1908), I 

 recorded specimens of D. clavata from Ceylon, sent by Mr. E. E. 

 Grreen, and the British Museum has since then received other 

 specimens from that island collected by Mr. T. Bainbrigge Fletcher. 



DALPADA ACUTICEPS, Bredd. Arch. Naturg. Berl. 1913, p. 97 ; id. Ann. 

 Soc. Ent. Belg. liii, p. 266 (1909) (figd. not described). 



Described from Burma, Bhamo (Fea), and stated to be allied to 

 the preceding species D. armaticeps. I have already (vol. i, p. 113) 

 recorded specimens from this locality, and sent by the same 

 eminent collector, as D. clavata. I have not seen Breddin's type 

 and therefore can only give a reference to his description.
