18 Mr. W. L. Distant on Coreide. 
Long. 9-10 millim.; exp. pronot. angl. 8-34 millim. 
Hab. Malay Peninsula ; Singapore (H. WN. Ridley, Brit. 
Mus.) ; Perak (Doherty, Coll. Dist.). 
The Perak specimen is minus the lateral ochraceous and 
black spots to the abdomen beneath. 
Colpura erebus, sp. n. 
Very dark castaneous ; apical joint of antenne (excluding 
base), eyes, apex of scutellum, 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 coxe ochraceous; femora much suffused 
with ochraceous. 
Antenne 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 
moderately and distinctly prominent, anterior margin con- 
cavely sinuate, lateral margins nearly straight, anterior area 
bilobately impressed; abdomen broader than corium and 
projecting from about half its length to apex; connexivum 
recurved, membrane not quite reaching apex of abdomen ; 
abdomen beneath broadly and distinctly suleated; rostrum 
reaching the apex of the third abdominal segment. 
Long. 11-15 millim. ; exp. pronot. angl. 34-44 ae 
Hab. India, Mungphu (Atkinson Coll., Brit, Mus.); Naga 
Hills (Doher ty, Coll. Dist.). 
This 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 suleated abdo- 
nen separate them. From C. afflicta the present species 
differs by the much more developed anterior pronotal angles. 
Colpura noctua, sp. n. 
Piceous ; apical joint of antenne (excluding base), coxe, 
extreme bases of femora, rostrum, posterior margins of fourth 
and fifth abdominal segments, spots to lateral margins of 
abdomen above and beneath ‘ochraceous ; tibize and tarsi 
obscure brownish ochraceous. 
Rostrum reaching the centre of the third abdominal seg- 
ment; antenne with the basal joint thickened and curved, 
second and third joints longest and slender, second longer 
than third, fourth cylindrical and shortest ; ‘pronotum with 
the anterior angles distinctly spined, lateral margins straight, 
not sinuate, posterior margin moderately sinuate at base of
