RHYNCHOTA INDICA (hETEROPTERa). 107 



Genus Amulius. 



Amulius viscus, sp. n. 



Head and antennae black, the latter with the base of third joint 

 (rather broadly) and base of fourth joint (narrowly) ochraceous ; prono- 

 tum pale sanguineous, the anterior angles, some central suffusions to 

 anterior lobe and the posterior lobe — excluding lateral areas — black ; 

 scutellum and corium black, apex of the former and a spot on apical area 

 of the latter, ochraceous; membrane shining bluish-black; connexivum 

 black with large pale sanguineous spots , a central longitudinal fascia 

 to head beneath, ochraceous; sternum pale sanguineous, disks of 

 meso- and metasterna and lateral areas of the latter, black ; four 

 spots near anterior margin of mesosternum ochraceous ; abdomen 

 beneath dull ochraceous, connexivum as above and a series of large 

 sublateral spots black ; legs ochraceous or pale sanguineous, a broad 

 central annulation and apex to anterior tibiae, apical areas of inter- 

 mediate and posterior femora, the intermediate and posterior tibiae 

 and all the tarsi, black ; rostrum black, about or almost reaching 

 base of head ; antennae with the first joint less than half the length 

 of head, second nearly as long as pronotum, third longer than fourth ; 

 anterior angles of pronotum long, spinously produced, the spines 

 forwardly produced, curved, and slightly longer than first joint of 

 antennae, basal pronotal margin posteriorly laminately produced and 

 strongly centrally emarginate ; apex of scutellum somewhat tuber- 

 culous. Long. 19 millim. 



Hah. Ceylon; Ratnapura (E. E. Green). 



Allied to the Malayan A. quadripunctatiis, Stal, but the anterior 

 spinous pronotal angles black, much more slender, acute, and 

 curved, &c. 



" In life — has the anterior tarsi covered with a viscid secre- 

 tion resembling Canada balsam. In living examples the red 

 areas are quite brilliant " (E. E, Green in litt.). 



Fam. NOTONECTIDiE. 

 Anisops all, sp. n. 



Ochraceous, the hemelytra more or less shaded with fuliginous ; 

 eyes black; interocular space narrow, margins parallel, not or very 

 slightly narrowing at base, above with a distinct central longitudinal 

 impression, the margins of which are ridged, beneath narrow, parallel, 

 of the same breadth throughout ; pronotum with a distinct waved 

 carinate line on the anterior area, commencing on the lateral margins 

 behind eyes and then roundly directed upward and united between 

 the inner posterior angles of the eyes ; abdomen beneath fuscous. 

 This species is allied in general coloration to A. sardea, Herr.-Schalf., 

 and A. fieberi, Kirk. From both of these, however, it is distinctly 

 separated by the narrow parallel interocular space, and by the dis- 

 tinct carinate waved line to the pronotum. Long. 5 to 6^ millim. 



Hah. Ceylon; Diyatalawa (E. E. Green).
