Genus TROPIDOTHORAX. 
Melanospilus, Stal, Hem. Fabr. i. pp. 72 & 75 (1868), nom. praoce. 
Tropidothorax, Bergr. Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. xxxviii. p. 547 (1894), 
n, nom. 
Tropidothorax concisus. 
Lygeus concisus, Walk. Cat. Het. v. p. 60. n. 127 (1872). 
Head black, with a lateral spot behind and in front of the 
base of the antennee and a central basal spot red ; pronotum 
reddish ochraceous, with two large rounded transverse basal 
black spots, almost reaching the basal and lateral margins, 
which are ochraceous, the spots divided centrally by a raised 
reddish-ochraceous line; apex of clavus and the corium 
ochraceous, the last with a large 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 GRAPTOSTETHUS. 
Graptostethus servus. 
Cimex servus, Fabr. Mant. Ins. ii. p. 300 (1787). 
Lygeus inequalis, Walk. Cat. Het. v. p. 57. n. 116 (1872). 
Graptostethus quadratomaculatus. 
Lygeus quadratomaculatus, Kirby, Journ, Linn. Soe., Zool. xxiv. p. 98 
(1891). 
Graptostethus diffusus. 
Lygeus diffusus, Walk. Cat. Het. v. p. 59. n. 124 (1872). 
Graptostethus maculatus. 
Lygeus maculatus, Dall. List Hem. ii. p, 546. n, 42 (1802). 
Graptostethus ? verticalis. 
Lygeus verticalis, Dall. List Hem. i. p. 548. n, 49 (1852). 
The type is in bad condition and now without rostrum, 
thus rendering its generic position doubtful. 
Graptostethus grandis, sp. n. 
Reddish ochraceous; extreme apex of head, centre of 
anterior margin, and two large basal subquadrate spots with
