Centeotus EEPOKENS. 



Centrotus reponens, Walk. List Horn. Ins. B. M. ii. p. 604, n. 14 

 (1851). 



Described from Tenasseritn, but included in Walker's list as 

 (/iugbalese. It seems to differ from C. taurus, Fabr., chiefly in 

 the thicker and more recurved lateral thoracic horns. 



It is curious that hardly any of the described Gentroti included 

 in Walker's list of Cinghalese species were obtained by Mr. G-reeu. 

 Several others mentioned by Walker are MS. only, never having 

 been described.

Centrotus malleus. Walk. List Horn. Ins. B. M. ii. p. 613, n. 41 

 (1851). 



A very distinct and remarkable species, which should certainly 

 form a new genus, and appears to be allied to Maclicerota. 



Described from Ceylon. 



Centeotus substitutus. 



Centrotus substitutus. Walk. List Horn. Ins. B. M. ii. p. 605, n. 16 

 (1851).

 ghalese.

Centrotus terminalis, Walk, List Horn. Ins. B. M. ii. p. 604, n. 13 

 (1851). 



Described from China; included in Walker's list as Cin- 

 ghalese.
