greenish spot near base and at apex of each segment. Body 
beneath and legs ochraceous. Rostrum with the apical joint 
fuscous. Prosternum and posterior margins of metasternum 
coarsely punctate. Femora finely spotted with fuscous ;

Eurydema rugosa, Motsch., var. 
One specimen from this locality has the ground-colour 
luteous, instead of red as in all other specimens which I have 
seen. 
Tropicoris metallifer, Motsch. ? 
Tropicoris metalliferus, Motsch. Bull. Mose. xxiii. 4, p. 501 (1859). 
Tropicoris Basnini, Osch. Bull, Mose. xliii. 1, p. 128. 1 (1870). 
Tropicoris metallifer, Stal, En. Hem. v. p. 106. 3 (1876). 
Two specimens from this locality appear to agree well with 
the descriptions of the above authors and the supplementary 
notes of Stal, with the exception of the apex of the scutel- 
lum, which is concolorous. 
Compastes obtusa, Walk. 
Pentatoma obtusa, Walker, Cat. Het. ii. p. 560 (1868). 
This species seems clearly referable to Stal’s genus, though 
differing in general appearance from C. boutanicus, Dall., the 
type and only other recorded species. Walker’s description 
of the species is defective, no mention being made of a trans- 
verse row of four small luteous spots near anterior margin. 
Urochela luteovaria, n. sp. 
Head ochraceous, with two elongate fuscous spots at base. 
Antenne black; basal halves of fourth and fifth joints luteous ; 
second joint slightly longer than first, third very short, fourth 
and fifth subequal and together about equal in length to 
second and third combined. Pronotum ochraceous, coarsely 
punctured with fuscous, with two transverse streaks on 
anterior portion of disk, and posterior half of lateral margins 
black ; basal margin (narrowly), a central narrow longitudinal 
fascia commencing at base and extending to about middle, 
and anterior half of lateral margins luteous; lateral margins 
reflexed, lateral angles slightly prominent. Scutellum ochra- 
ceous, sparingly covered with very coarse and dark punctures. 
Corium ochraceous, finely and darkly punctate, basal margin
