Genera and Species of Ihimennplern. JiSH 



the lower in the middle smooth except for some transverse 

 8tria», the centre carinate. The wIkjIc thorax is thickly 

 covered with pale pubescence. The second cubital cellule is 

 much narrowed at the top, being there in length less than the 

 distance bounded by the second transverse cubital and the 

 second recurrent nervure, Legs entirely blat-k, thickly 

 covered with pale pubescence. Tegidai rufous. Abdomen 

 black, the basal two segments banded with yellow, the bands 

 interrupted in the middle ; the basal two segments closely 

 punctured, the tiiird and fourth more closely, the apical 

 alutaceous. 



The apex of tlie clypeus is broader than usual and does not 

 project into teeth; it is flat, with the sides oblique; the 

 insect is more densely pilose than usual; the apex of the 

 median segment is slightly and roundly concave; the upper 

 part at the sides broad, not forming teeth ; the central keel is 

 stout ; the second cubital cellule is much narrowed at the top, 

 being there only one half the lengtii of the space bounded by 

 the second transverse cubital and the second recurrent nervure ; 

 the second abdominal segment is not much narrowed at the 

 base. 



This species comes nearest to B.. Jlavomar(jinatum, with 

 which it agrees in coloration ; it may be known from it by 

 the body being more d^-nsely pilose, and is readily separated 

 from it by the clypeus not being deeply grooved in the 

 middle. 



Rhynchium rugolatumj sp. n. 

 Long. 12-14 mm. 



Ilab. Barraekpore {Rothnei/), Poona (Wroughton), Khasia 

 Hills. 



This species closely resembles R. brunneum. The differ- 

 ences between the two are best expressed in synoptical form : — 



$ . — Meeonotum shining, sj)ar«fly and slightly punc- 

 tured ; the scutelluiu inipunctate ; the sides of the 



median segment with sharp teeth brunneum. 



Mesouctum and scutelluui closely rugosely punc- 

 tured ; the sides of the median segment without 

 teeth rugolatum. 



cJ . — The top of the clypeus transverse ; the oblique lowt-r 

 part sliorter thau the upper part; the middle femora 



nut narrowed and twisted at the base rugolatum. 



The top of the clypeus roundt-d, its narrowed lower 

 part longer than the upper; the middle feuiitra 

 narrowed and twisted at the bane hrunnmm. 



The head rutous ; the ocellar region broadly (the mark 

 slightly nani.wrd and loundtd behind), the part between the
