Obs. In Fuessly's ' Archives,' Herbst has figured (pi. 5 1 . 

 f. 2, 3) an Indian insect which seems very closely to re- 

 semble De Haan's figure of -B. Javanus. Herbst's descrip- 

 tion is, however, too vague to enable us to determine the 

 question.

Olivaceous ash-coloured, with a paler very slender longi- 

 tudinal dorsal and lateral line extending from the front of 

 the mesothorax to the extremity of the abdomen ; very 

 slender and subfiliform, destitute of spines or tubercles. 

 The head narrowed bchiud. Antennae scarcely longer than 

 the head, about 18-jointed; the first joint large, setose, and 

 carinated along the upper surface ; the third and following 

 joints very short and rather irregular in size. The meso- 

 and metathorax are each gradually widened from the middle 

 to the insertion of the legs. The abdominal segments are 

 marked on each side of the median line with three slightly 

 raised elevated longitudinal lines ; the segments are gra- 

 dually narrowed to the extremity, which is slightly acumi- 

 nated, with the two very short anal styles scarcely visible 

 at the extremity. The operculum extends to the middle 

 of the ninth dorsal segment. The legs are long, slender, 

 and simple.

Hab. In India orientali {Mrs. Major Hamilton). In 

 Mus. Soc. Entom. Londinensis. 



Elongate, slender, subconvex, smooth, and entirely of 

 an obscure brown colour. The head with two conical erect 

 spines between the eyes. The antennae about half as long 

 as the fore femora, 20-jointad ; the basal joint wide and 

 flattened. The mesothorax of moderate length. The me- 

 tathorax nearly as long as the mesothorax. The abdomen 

 long, widest at the base, gradually attenuated to the tip, 

 which is acute and deeply cleft. The operculum is very 

 long, slender, and bent upwards, extending far beyond the 

 extremity of the abdomen. The fore legs are long and 

 slender ; the four hind legs are shorter. The femora irre- 

 gularly and widely serrated, as are also the tibiae, which 

 have a conical lolie on the outside near the base. The 

 basal joint of the tarsi is long and slender.
