 (Coll. Di;*t.) ; Rangoon and Pegu (Atkins. Coll., Brit. Miis.). 



1 have long pos.-e.-.sed a i^iiigle specimen t'roni Shantung ; 

 and as the British Museum now contains six other specimens 

 from Kiukiang, I have not hesitated to separate them, as 

 constituting a distinct species. All the general characters aro 

 those ot" C. olmcura. The connexivum is generally spotted 

 with ochraceous and there is usually a small central basal 

 ochracoous spot to the scutellum. The antennEe are shorter 

 and the joints broadt-r and more spatulate than in C. obscura. 



Ci/clopelta? vi/is. 

 (yclo2>elta ri/i>, Walk. Cat. Het. iii. p. 478. n. 6 (1SC8). 



The typical and only specimen of this species which I 

 have seen possesses merely the first, second, and third joints 

 of one antenna. It may probably prove to be a species of the 

 genus Aspougoyu.i.

Aspongopus hinotatuSy sp. n. 



Above dark castaneous ; apical joint of antennae and two 

 small spots at apex of scutellum luteous; base of lateral 

 margins of curium and body beneath ochraceous ; legs dark 

 castaneous. 



Second joint of antennae minute, third much longer than 

 fourth. Pronotum obscurely transversely rugulose ; .scutellum 

 distinctly wrinkled; corium very obscurely tomentose; femora 

 with their inner margins spinous. 



Long. 17-19 millim. ; max. abd. lat. 11-12 millim. 



Uab. Nyasaland {Sir II. Jo/ntslon, Brit. Mus.). 



By the minute second joint of the antennae this species is 

 allied to A. patruelif>, St4l.
