LABIA PILICORNIS, Motsch, 



Reddish, antenna3 and mouth parts greyish-yellow, feet yellowish; fourth 

 segment of the antenna3 much smaller than the following segments, oblong ; 

 pronotum longer than broad, hinder edge of last abdominal segT.ent smooth ; 

 forceps straight, short, unarmed. $. 



Length of body 4 mm. 



„ of forceps 1 mm, 



" Only a single female from Motsch ulsky's collection is known to me. It 

 maybe distinguished from L. minor L., by the following points : the pronotum 

 is longer than broad, so that the hinder margin projects further over the 

 basis of the elytral ; the elytra and wings are shorter, but that may be merely 

 an individual variation. The fourth antennal segment is distinctly smaller 

 than the fifth." (Dohrn).

Habitat in insule Ceylon montibus Nura Ellia dictis (Nietner), 



This species is totally unknown to me, so I have given Dohrn's remarks 

 word for word, 



CHELISOCHES, Scudd. 



Antennae with at least 15 segments ; the first is broadly conical, the second 

 round, the third cylindrical, the fourth and fifth short, oblong; the following 

 segments gradually oblong and conical. Pronotum scarcely as broad as the 

 head, with hinder angles rounded. Elytra always, wings almost always, well 

 developed. Abdomen with the sides parallel, the lateral tubercles well 

 developed. The last segment is rectangular in the ^, narrowed in the 9. 

 The penultimate ventral segment is large and covers the greater part of the 

 last rectangular, with rounded angles. Forceps flattened, the branches of ^ 

 remote at the base, more or less dilated, incurved, with varying teeth on the 

 inner margin. In the $ the branches are siibcontiguous, straight, crossing. 

 Feet stout ; the second tarsal segment short, with a long, pubescent lobe, 

 produced beneath the third segment.

Chelisoclies, Scudd., Borm. Kirb. Burr. 



This genus is characterised by its antennee and second tarsal segment. 



The two species known t) occur in Ceylon are not likely to be confused, 

 being very different in appearance. 



CHELISOCHES 2I0R10, Fabr, 



Large, black, shining, glabrous. Head black ; antennee with at least 22 

 segments, black at the base; segments 15 '16 white, the apical segments 

 pale ; the first few segments are shqrt, then from the seventh they 

 i^radually lengthen, the apical segments being very long and slender. 

 Pronotam slightly broader than the head, the hinder border rounded
