blackish, the surface posteriorly adjoining them is beset with a number 

 of shining raised bead-like processes, some bearing minute anlber- 

 coloured spines, which have the apical half branched with extremely 

 small bristles. 



The colour when first found was uniformly ochreous, with 

 thQ eyes dark leaden grey ; it gradually turned darker on the 

 head, thorax, and abdomen ; the wings remained ochreous, but 

 showed leaden-grey hind margins ; then the median wing-spots 

 appeared, and soon the whole pupa began to deepen more 

 uniformly, until it assumed a deep leaden-grey all over, and 

 remained unchanged for over thirty hours ; finally a perfect 

 male emerged at 8.30 a.m. July 16th. 



With the interesting discovery of this hitherto unknown 

 pupa Mr. A. L. Rayward's name must be coupled, for we had the 

 joint pleasure of not only finding the living pupa, but also, in 

 close proximity, a pupa-case of a freshly emerged female, which 

 my friend detected at rest, and which paved the way to our 

 success. 



DESCRIPTION OF A NEW SPECIES OF ARADID^ 

 FROM CEYLON. 



By W. L. Distant. 



The following description refers to a species which I received 

 from my ever-helpful friend Mr. E. E. Green, subsequent to my 

 dealing with the Aradidse in the Rhynchota of British India, 

 and which, for that wide area, constitutes the second known 

 species of Aneurus. 



Aneurus greeni, sp. n. 



Head, pronotum, scutellum, and sternum, black ; abdomen, apex 

 of head, coxre, and apices of tibiae piceous-brown ; tarsi ochraceous ; 

 corium stramineous, its base black, its apex and longitudinal veins 

 very dark fuscous ; membrane pale hyaline and reflecting the pale 

 brown disk of the abdomen above ; head finely punctate, most strongly 

 so behind eyes, distinctly longitudinally sulcate on each side of the 

 median lobe ; antennfe with the basal joint very strongly incrassate, 

 second joint longer than third, fourth longest ; pronotum with a broad 

 central transverse depression, the anterior angles prominently rounded, 

 the lateral margins moderately concavely sinuate, the posterior angles 

 broadly rounded, a little prominent, centrally very finely transversely 

 striate, obscurely punctate, most distinctly so on lateral areas and at 

 anterior and posterior angles ; scutellum very finely and thickly 

 granulate, about as broad as long, its margins very obscurely piceous- 

 brown. 



Ilah. Ceylon; Pundaluoya (Green). 



Differing from the Burmese A. indicus, Bergr., the only 

 other known species in the fauna of British India, by the 

 absence of the central carination to the scutellum, the more
