whicli it is bordered outside with yellowisli ; the inner margin is 

 also more narrowly black for some distance from the base ; a 

 narrow blackish or rufo-testaceous border extends round the rest 

 of the wing, interrupted for a short space beyond the black stripe 

 on the inner margin : before the tip and hinder angle is a more 

 or less conspicuous brown spot. 



Nearly allied to C. decipiens. I have retained Walker's MS. 

 name for the present species.

*tCENTEOTUS CUPEEUS, Sp. n. 



Long. Corp. cum tegm. 5-6 millim. ; exp, corn. 2| millim. 



Uniform cupreous ; lateral thoracic horns short, not very acute ; 

 pectus covered with a white waxy efflorescence ; usually a white 

 dot on each side at the base of the scutellum, and another on the 

 inner margin of the tegmina at two thirds of their length ; spine 

 slender, pointed, depressed in the middle, and extending to half 

 the distance between the white spot on the inner margin and 

 the tips of the tegmina. Legs rufo-testaceous. The tegmina 

 are sometimes lighter towards the tips : one specimen has 

 some white waxy spots near the costa at three-fifths of their 

 length, a vitreous spot on the costa beyond, and a yellowish sub- 

 hyaline space, marked inside with a brown spot, at the extremity 

 of the inner margin ; but these diflerences are hardly sufficient to 

 be regarded as specific in the absence of a series for comparison. 



Appears to be a common species in Ceylon.

 Ceylon (?).

Anomus turberculatus, Motsch. JEtudes Ent. viii. p. 109 (1859). 



The specimen which I refer to this species has the thorax 

 very thickly clothed with hair, a character which Motschulsky 

 does not mention.
