directed straight forward, lanceolate, very narrowly rounded 

 at apex, tiieir tVcoly projectin;^ part a.s lon;i; as the distanco 

 between the a{)ex of clypcus and a line conneclin^ the ocelli, 

 and as broad at its base as half the distance between tiic 

 ocelli. Pronotum with a low laterally evanescent ridge be- 

 tween the humeral angles, and between this and the cicatrical 

 areas with a few transverse ruiia?, the apical processes slightly 

 passing the level of the apex of the clypeu-;. Henielytra (?) 

 somewhat passing base of dorsal genital segment, corium not 

 quite reaching apex of antepenultimate connexival segment, 

 its apical margin slightly rounded. Abdomen in the interior 

 half of the largely exposed connexivum with immerous short, 

 sublevignte, vermicularly tortuous, impressed, fuscous lines 

 arranged in a longitudinal band ; beneath on each side a 

 little within the lateral margins with a longitudinal band, 

 and somewhat more inwardly at the apical margin of the 

 segments (except the sixth) with a transverse fascia, all 

 composed of similar meandering lines; female dorsal genital 

 segment somewhat broader than head, its apical margin 

 broadly and slightly sinuate.

Tonkin. 



In having a small acute lateral spine a little in front of 

 the eyes this species is allied to T. obtusa, Dall., but the juga 

 are narrower and less rounded at apex, the anteocalar spines 

 areconcolorous with the head, the scutellum is quite differently 

 coloured, and the venter is less thickly and less strongly 

 punctured without the large transverse impunctate lateral 

 foveje so characteristic of ohtasa.

Proctophantasta minax, sp. n. 



Shortly oval, above black; head with the lateral margins 

 from within the eyes to beyond middle of juga, a longitudi- 

 nal band on juga, a line in the apical half of clypeus, a spot 

 inside each eye, an elongate lanceolate spot reaching from 

 base of clypeus to base of head, and two transverse basal 

 spots on each side yellow ; pronotum with the antero-iateral 

 and postero-lateral margins, seven spots (the median one 

 larger and subquadrate) on the transverse elevated subapical 

 area, and five spots immediately behind the impressed line 

 posteriorly terminating that area stramineous, the two outer 

 ones (on each side) of the latter spots oblique and removed 

 from the oblong, somewhat callose median spot; scutellum
