ScutellevintB and Grapliosomiuje. 47 



A single specimen contained in Dr. Leith's Indian collec- 

 tion has been in mj possession for the last twenty years, and 

 I have refrained from describing it on account of the impei'fect 

 condition of the legs and antennae. As, however, the only 

 other species of the genus is from Turkestan, it seems a pity 

 to still refrain from recording its Oriental congener. 



MoRBORA, gen. nov. 



Allied to OdontosceliSy but body more convex ; lateral 

 margins of head and pronotum strongly and longly spinous. 

 Head with the eyes sessile, its frontal and apical lateral 

 margins longly spinous ; between the eyes and this anterior 

 spinous margin is a distinct lateral peduncle with its extre- 

 mity spinous ; lateral lobe moderately convex and elevated. 

 Pronotum with the lateral margins laminate and longly 

 spinous, acutely truncate before the eyes. Abdomen with 

 the lateral margins shortly spinous ; abdomen beneath with 

 an oblique sericeous patch on each side and situate on the 

 third, fourth, and fifth segments. Rostrum reaching the 

 posterior coxte. 



Morhora australis^ sp. n. 



Brownish ochraceous ; head coarsely and darkly punctate, 

 with a central ochraceous fascia more or less margined with 

 black ; pronotum with its anterior area somewhat irregularly 

 foveate, its posterior area a little paler and darkly punctate. 

 Scutellum thickly and coarsely punctate. Body beneath and 

 legs brownish ochraceous; abdomen with a dull black seri-

Ceylon is certainly a wrong locality for this species.
