18 Mr. AV. L. Distant on Coreidre. 



Long. 9-10 milHm.; cxp. pronot. angl. 3-3^ millini. 



Hab. Malay Peninsula ; Singapore (//. JS. Ridley, Brit. 

 Mus.); Peiak {Doherty, Coll. Dist). 



Tlie Perak specimen is minus the lateral ochraccous and 

 black spots to the abdomen beneath. 



Colpura erebiis, sp. n. 



Very dark castaneous ; apical joint of antennai (excluding 

 base), eyes, apex of Bcutelluni, a small discal spot on corium 

 near posterior margin, lineate lateral spots to abdomen above 

 and beneath, posterior margins of fourth and fifth abdominal 

 segments, and the coxse ochraceous; femora much suffused 

 with ochraceous. 



Antennse with the first joint thickened and slightly curved, 

 second and third joints slender, second longest, fourth cylin- 

 drical, shorter than third; pronotum with the anterior angles 

 modeiately and distinctly })rominent, anterior margin con- 

 cavely sinuate, lateral margins nearly straigiit, anterior area 

 bilubately impressed ; abdomen broader than corium and 

 projecting fiom about half its length to apex ; connexivum 

 recurved, membrane not quite reaching apex of abdomen ; 

 abdomen beneath broadly and distinctly sulcated ; rostrum 

 reaching the apex of the third abdominal segment. 



Long. 11-15 miliim. ; exp. pronot. angl. 3^-4| n)iHim. 



Bab. India, IMuiigphu (Atkinson Coll., Brit. Miis.) ; Naga 

 Hill? {Doherty, Coll. Dist.). 



'i'his species is allied to Colpura afflictus, Walk., and both 

 species have a resemblance to the genus Pachycephalus, 

 from which the length of the rostrum and the sulcated abdo- 

 men separate them. From C. offiicta the present species 

 differs by the much more developed anterior pronotal angles. 



Colpura noctua, sp. n. 



Piceous ; apical joint of antennae (excluding base), coxse, 

 extreme bases of femora, rostrum, i)osterior margins of fourth 

 and fifth abdominal segments, spots to lateral margins of 

 abdomen above and beneath ochraceous ; tibise and tarsi 

 obscure brownish ochraceous. 



Kostrum reaching the centre of the third abdominal seg- 

 ment ; antennaj with the basal joint thickened and curved, 

 second and third joints longest and slender, second longer 

 than third, fourth cylindrical and sliortest; pronotum with 

 the anterior angles distinctly spined, lateral margins straight,
