DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES OF COREIBM. 

 BY W. L. DISTANT, F.E.S. 



Having recently worked out a collection belonging to this Family, 

 which was forwarded to me from the Calcutta Museum for identifi- 

 cation, it became necessary to describe the following species. Most 

 of them had been represented by single specimens in my own col- 

 lection for Borne years past, and the larger material belonging to the 

 Calcutta Museum has now enabled me to describe these with greater 

 certainty and completeness. 



PbIONOLOMIA ABEEEAISTS, 11. Sp. 



S . Dark brownish; antennae (apical joint mutilated), membrane, anterior and 

 intermediate femora, posterior femora and tibia?, dark fuscous ; anterior and inter- 

 mediate tibiae and tarsi and the posterior tarsi brownish-ochraceous ; body beneath 

 chocolate-brown. Antennae with the basal joint longer than the second, which is 

 also longer than the third ; pronotum with the lateral margins finely and obtusely 

 serrated, the lateral angles angularly produced and slightly directed upwardly, the 

 base transversely channelled ; scutellum very prominently and coarsely wrinkled at 

 base ; posterior femora robust, globose, and with a very strong and prominent spine 

 before apex, and a small obtuse tooth and some very small spines at apex ; posterior 

 tibiae flattened, finely serrated inwardly, and with a prominent tooth near base. 



$ . Paler in hue, legs concolorous with body. 



Long., $ and ? , 37 mm. Exp. pronot. angl., 14 to 15 mm. 



Sab. : Sikkim, Assam (Calc. Mus. ; Coll. Dist.). 



This species may at once be distinguished from the other species 

 by the much less serrated margins of the pronotum, and by the smooth 

 and moderately globose posterior femora of the male. 



Pbionolomia pallescens, n. sp. 



cj . Brownish-ochraceous, membrane fuscous ; anterior and intermediate tibia? 

 all the tarsi, and a somewhat long spine on posterior femora, luteous. Antennae, 

 excepting basal joint, which is brownish-ochraceous, mutilated. Pronotum almost 

 smooth, the lateral margins and angles strongly serrated, the last broadly and some- 

 what upwardly produced. Closely allied to P. hiplagiata, Walk., but differing by 

 the totally different coloration, the smooth surface of the pronotum, &c. 



Long., 26 mm. Exp. pronot. angl., 11 mm. 

 Sab. .- Assam (Coll. Dist.). 



HOMOEOCEEUS BACEBTOSTTS, 11. Sp. 



Above, pale greenish or greenish-ochraceous ; body beneath, antennae, eyes, and 



legs ochraceous ; lateral margins of the pronotum narrowly reddish-ochraceous ; 



corium with a small, white, levigate, central spot, situate a little before the apical 



margin ; abdomen above brownish-ochraceous. Antenna? moderately robust, basal
