POLTCEATES. FABTJLINUS. 195 



second joint a little longer than the third, almost subequal with 

 the fourth ; anterior pronotal lobe moderately convexly globose, 

 posterior lobe not much more than half its length and coarsely 

 punctate ; scutellum thickly punctate, crucifonnly carinate, the 

 longitudinal portion of the carination on apical area much the 

 most strongly developed, centrally depressed on basul area ; 

 corium finely punctate ; membrane reaching the abdominal apex ; 

 anterior femora strongly incrassated and spined beneath ; anterior 

 tibiae moderately dilated at apices. 



Length 6 millim. 



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



This species is to be recognized by the narrower and more 

 globose anterior lobe of the pronotum.

 -a little darker, the basal angles paler; scutellum brownish-ochra- 

 ceous ; corium stramineous, a somewhat obscure central spot in 

 clavus, two spots outside clavus, a spot near middle of costal 

 margin and two on apical margin black; membrane subhyaline; 

 body beneath castaneous, legs ochraceous ; antennae ochraceous, 

 second joint longest, third and fourth subequal in length ; scutel- 

 lum distinctly coarsely punctate and somewhat centrally depressed; 

 corium strongly punctate ; membrane passing the abdominal apex;

Genus FABULINUS, nov. 



Type, F. mysorensis, sp. n. 



Distribution. South India. 



Head anteriorly acuminate, about as long as breadth between 

 eyes ; antennae very finely pilose, second joint a little longest ; 

 pronotum longer than half the breadth at base, not transversely 

 constricted, the anterior area somewhat globosely nodulose, the 

 lateral angles subprominent ; scutellum cruciformly carinate; 

 femora moderately incrassate ; tibiae finely spinulose. 



This genus may be placed near Thebanus (vol. ii, p. 67), from 

 which it differs by the greater length and more truncate base of 

 the pronotum. 



3793. Fabulinus mysorensis, sp. n. 



Head, anterior area of the pronotum and the basal area of 

 scutellum black ; posterior area of pronotum, lateral and apical 

 .areas of scufcellum, and body beneath castaneous ; corium dull
