lipes differs from A. hrunneri in having the antenna ringed with white, 

 and the feet with black ; in ^. hrunneri they are uniform in colour. A 

 similar species is A. Stall, in which rudimentary elytra may be detected, 

 ANISO LABIS BRVNNERI, Dohrn. 



PiceouSjthe head black ; clypeus and labrum dark, the rest of the mouth 

 parts and the antennae basal segments ferruginous, the rest of tie antennae 

 greyish-brown ; pectus and feet dirty-testaceous ; abdomen posteriorly very 

 shortly attenuated. 



Length of body 12 mm, of forceps 2 mm. §. 



Forcinella hrunneri, Dohrn., 1864, Stett. Ent. Zeit., xxv., 291. 



Anisolahis hrunneri, Borm. 1900, Forf. 48. 



I have received from Mr. Green from Punduloya some females which 

 M- de Bormans has identified, with doubt, with this species. 



BRA CIIYLA BIS, Dohrn. 



Body cylindrical, convex punctate, more or less pubescent. AntenniB 

 with from 9 to 15 segments, segment 2 smallest, 3 equal to the two follow- 

 ing, all segments stout ; pronotum elongate, broader behind than before, 

 broader than the head. Mesonotum strongly depressed on each side, 

 forming thus an angled keel. Elytra and wings entirely absent. Femora 

 elongated, especially the posterior pair. Abdomen with lateral tubercles 

 very distinct. Forceps, ^, with branches short, slender, equally incurved 

 unarmed ; $ branches slender, straight, subcontiguoiis, decussating,

This genus, as used by Dohrn, falls before the prior Anisolahis, but 

 de Bormans retains it for B. cliilensis, Blanch, which is the type B. punctata, 

 Dubr. and B. hifoveolata, Bol. It differs from Anisolahis in the form of the 

 forceps, abdomen, thorax and distinct lateral tubercles. 



B. lyunctata is found widely distributed in the Oriental Region and will 

 probably turn up in Ceylon.
