Genus Tkopidothokax. 



Melanospilus, StSi, Hem. Fabr. i. pp. 72 & 75 (18G8), nom. praoocc.

 n. nom. 



Tropidotfiorax concifiu.'t. 

 Lygceus concitns. Walk. Cat. Hot. v. p. tXJ. n. 127 (1872). 



Head black, with a lateral .spot behind and in front of the 

 ba.se of the antennae and a central ba.sal spot red ; pronotum 

 reddish ochraceou.s, with two large rounded transverse basal 

 black spots, almost reaching the basal and lateral margins, 

 which are ochraceou.««, the spots divided centrally by a raised 

 reddish-ochraceous line ; apex of clavus and the coriuni 

 ochraceous, the last with a lar<ie oblique discal black spot. 



This species is very variable in the character of the discal 

 spot to the corium. The one most pronounced in the 

 specimens now before me is the type from Lombok ; those 

 with the smallest (very small) spot are from Flores. Two 

 specimens from Sumbawa in my own collection are inter- 

 mediate in that respect. 



Genus Graptostetfius. 



Graptostethus serviis. 



Cimex servus, Fabr. Mant. Ins. ii. p. 300 (1787J. 



Lygceut irKrqxudis, Walk. Cat. Het. v. p. .57. n. 116 (1872). 



Graptostethus quadratomaculatus. 



Lyg<fui quadratoinaculatun, Kirbv, Journ. Linn. Soc, Zool. xxiv. p. 98 

 (1891J. 



Graptostethus diffusus. 

 Lygmit Hiffmm, Walk. Cat. Het. v. p. 59. n. 124 (1872). 



Graptostethus uiaculatus. 



Lygteus maculatus, Dall. List Hem. ii. p. 5-l.>. n. 42 (1852). 



Graptostethus'^ verticdis. 

 Lygmu verticalis, Dall. liist Hem. ii. p. 548. n. 49 (1852). 

 The type is in bad condition and now without rcstrum, 

 thus rendering its generic position doubtful. 



Graptostethus fjrandis, sp. n. 



Reddish ochraceous; extreme apex of head, centre of 

 anterior margin, and two large ba.sal subqnadrate spots with
