Ituteline ('uhoplera of Ceylon. 363 



tibia lias tluoc tci-tli and the larger claw ot" the trout ami 

 middle feet is clct't. 



The tibial teeth of the male are short but not sharp. The 

 terminal tooth in the female is stout and strongly bent 

 outwards. 



This is not easily distinguishable from A. elata, F., except 

 by means of the genitalia of the males, but the elypeus is of 

 slightly different shape, its sides being gently couvei'gent, 

 and the elytra are long and parallel-sided, with relatively 

 broad membranous margins, especially at the posterior lateral 

 part. The oedeagus of the male is constricted just before the 

 end and the paramcra are divergent and globularly swollen 

 at the apices. 



Anotnala illusa, sp. n. 



Ad A. tiatam et superjluam maxime affinis, sed paulo robustior, 

 pcdibus brevioribus et crassioribus, capite minus dense punctate, 

 clypeo minori, distincte baud crcbre puuctato, tibiis anticis latis, 

 dente tertio obsolesccnti, pedum -i posteriorum tibiis brevibus, 

 medio iutiatis, tarsorum articulis 4 basalibus transversis, latis. 



Long. 22 mm. ; lat. max. 12 mm. 



Hab. Trincomali (E. E. Green, Sept. 1910). 



This has the closest possible similarity to A. elata^ F., and 

 A. superjiua, Arr., but it is rather broader and more convex 

 and a little more shining, the head is less densely punctured, 

 the elypeus narrower and less fiat and opaque, antl the legs 

 are stouter, all the tibiae being shorter and broader and the 

 basal joints of the middle and bind tarsi more compact. 

 The third tibial tooth is almost obsolete. The cedeagus of 

 the male has the pararaera simply rounded externally and the 

 ventral lobe bluntly pointed. 



I know only a single male of this species.
