This species is also found in S. Africa, Madagascar, 

 ^lauritius, and Seychelles. It is separated from 8. grisei- 

 ventrls, Westw., to which it is closely allied, by the shorter 

 rostrum, which only about reaches the posterior coxa3. 



I take this opportunity of describing another species which 

 is found in the Oceanic Islan Is : — 



Serinetha isolafa, sp. n. 



Pronotum, scutellum, and corium fuscous brown, scutellum 

 sometimes blackish ; head, anterior and lateral margins of 

 |)ronotum, base of lateral margins to corium, and body beneath 

 testaceous ; a transverse fascia near anterior margin of ])ro- 

 notum, lateral areas of pro-, meso-, and metasterna, disk of 

 ventral abdominal segments, legs, rostrum, and membrane 

 black; rostrum reaching the posterior coxaj ; vertex of head 

 centrally longitudinally incised ; antennae with the basal 

 joint short, thickened, passing apex of head, second and third 

 joints subequal in length, fourth a little longest; pronotum 

 with a distinct, percurrent, longitudimil, central carination ; 

 head above with a distinct rounded tubercle behind each eye. 



Long. 13-lG mm. 



Nob. Oceania ; Marshall Islands. 



Allied to S. longirostAs, Dall, from Java, but differing by 

 the shorter rostrum &c.
