 from Java, China, Ceylon, Rangoon, and Andaman Is. 

 ( Rocpslorjf) ; in the Indian Museum from Rangoon ; in the 

 IJrusscls .Museum from Sumatra ; and in tlie Paris ^luscum 

 from Siam [l^avle, type), and Bangkok (Luniandie), from 

 Tonkin {J. Levasseur), and Hanoi {Dr. IViet, I'. Lahoissv re,

 In this species the mentum is small, lobes rounded at 

 apex, emargination deep, witliout setie ; ligula small, a little 

 dilated and truncate at apex, separated by a rather wide but 

 shallow notch from the paraglossaj, which extend some way 

 beyond it ; mandibles edentate, but the right one has inside 

 a slight protuberance at about middle. 



This well-known Indian species has been recorded by 

 Iledtenbaeher from the Philippine Is. and by Bates from 

 Burma. I have seen specimens in the Oxford Museum from 

 Singapore, and a solitary example in the Paris Museum 

 from Cochin-China (Beaudouin). 



Diplochila colossus, Bates, Ann. Mus. Civ. Gen. 1892, p. 326. 



In this species the elytral border behind the shoulder is 

 only very faintly crenulate. The lobes of the mentum^ juc 

 rather pointed at apex, and there are no sctic on the margin 

 oC the sinus; the ligula is narrow at apex and separated from 

 the paraglossiTC by a very distinct notch; the rigiit mandible 

 has a single, the left a double, tooth. 



This is another species described on a unique specimen 

 taken by Mr. L. Fea at Palon in Pegu. Bates thought that 

 this might be an unusually large example of D. impressa, but 

 lie was quite right in describing it as distinct, the form of 

 the labrum, clypcus, and palpi being very different. Having 

 now seen other examples, this time from Indo-China, I can 

 supplement his excellent dei?cription by adding that there 

 are two supraorbital setse, the form of the palpi is the same 

 in both sexes ; although the scutellary striole is wanting, 

 there are on some specimens vestiges of it in the form of one 

 or two minute punctures, and the last ventral segment (^ has 

 a single seta on each side, the ? two setaj. Except in regard
