Genus CLETUS. (Vol. I, p. 392.) 



CLETUS STALI, n. no in. 

 Cletus bipunctatus (vol. i, p. 393), nom. praeocc. 



It having now been proved that the C. bipunctatus, H.S., was 

 published before the description of Westwood's species under the 

 same name, 1 propose that of stdli as a substitute. 



Bergroth, however (J. Bomb. N. H. Soc. xxiv, p. 173) is in 

 error when he states that 0. bipunctatus, Westw., is a synonym 

 of the true punctator, Eabr., and again when he states that 

 punctator, Fabr., is not identical with trigonus, Thunb. Stal (En. 

 Hem. iii, p. 78, 1873) has given quite a contrary decision, which 

 I have followed. 



3731. Cletus bovillus, sp. n. 



Head, pronotum, scutellum and corium ochraceous, thickly, 

 coarsely punctate ; apices of the lateral pronotal angles black ; a 

 more or less obscure greyish-white spot near the inner angle of 

 the apical margin of the corium ; membrane pale bronzy-brown ; 

 connexivum and body beneath stramineous, somewhat thickly 

 spotted with black ; legs pale ochraceous ; antennae testaceous, 

 the apical joint darkest in hue, basal joint robust, subequal in 

 length to second, third shorter than second, fourth shortest and 

 thickened ; pronotal lateral angles prominently, acutely directed 

 upwardly and forwardly, their outer lateral margins crenulate, a 

 distinct subbasal, robust, transverse carination which is angularly 

 upturned on each side towards the lateral spines; scutellum 

 triangular, its lateral margins straightly oblique, its apex subacute 

 and greyish-white ; sternum thicklv coarselv punctate, abdomen 

 more finely punctate. 



Length 8-9| ; breadth between pronotal angles 3.|-4 inillim. 



Hab. South India; Chikkaballapura (T. V. Campbell). 



Allied to C. rubidiventris, Westw., but differing by the long, 

 acute, and upwardly directed pronotal spines. 



Breddin (Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. liii, p. 291, 1909) has described 

 another species from Ceylon under the name of C. hoplomachus. 

 He allies it to C. trigonus, Thunb. " Length 7, breadth between 

 pronot. angl. 3f mill." I have been unable to identify this 

 description with any of the numerous Ceylonese specimens that 

 have passed through my hands. 



Genus HAIDARA. (Vol. IV, p. 474.) 



HAIDARA ADMOTA. (Vol. IV, p. 475.) 



Add : ffab. South India ; Chikkaballapura (T. V. Campbell).
