are more distinct. Scutellum fulvous, and, in the middle, 

 grey. Elytra greyish brown, with an oblique whitish plaga 

 on each side behind the middle ; with two very feeble 

 tubercles (one in front of the other) on each at the base, and 

 with the pubescence raised in two or three feeble tufts on each 

 posteriorly, these tufts being partly black, partly fulvous ; 

 with also some small black dots, especially along the suture ; 

 with the apices somewhat obliquely truncate, prolonged more 

 on the outer side, and without any sharp angles. Body under- 

 neath with a mixed pubescence of whitish, greyish, and ful- 

 vous. Antennae brownish, speckled with grey and tawny, 

 and with the scape at the apex, the second joint, and the base 

 of the third more distinctly white. 



The mandibles in the only male of the species which I 

 have seen do not possess the upward processes so charac- 

 teristic of the males of S. grisator. Fab. 



Stltentas maculiceps } n. sp. 



Apomecyna maculifrons, Chevr. MS. 



Capitis fronte griseo-pubescente, genis albescentibus, fulvo-macu- 

 latis ; capitis vertice maculis duabus parvis nigris ; prothorace 

 griseo-brunneo, lateribus subrotundatis ; elytris brunneis nigro 

 fulvoque minute maculatis, singulis ad latus plaga maxima griseo- 

 albescente. 



Hab. Ceylon. 



Head with the pubescence in front greyish, at the sides 

 whitish, with fulvous spots. Prothorax greyish brown. 

 Elytra brownish, with a very large greyish-white patch on 

 each side, this patch abruptly narrowed behind the middle, so 

 that its posterior part is much narrower than its anterior, 

 and with a black spot in the angle above which is thus 

 formed. Breast greyish white, abdomen brownish. 



This and the preceding species agree in size and general 

 form, and differ from S. yrisator, Fabr., in their relatively 

 shorter prothorax, which is at the same time a little more 

 rounded at the sides. 



Mispila obscura, n. sp. 



Obscure brunneo-griseo-pubescens, fusco et albo vage maculata ; 

 protboracis disco tuberculis tribus parvis ; elytris in medio obso- 

 lete transverse fasciatis, sparsim punctatis, punctis ad basin 

 asperatis. 



Long. 9-13 mm. 



Hab. Nilghiri Hills (HamjJson).
