The genus Hypurgus, Burr, is now split, since H. simplex, 
Borm., and H. biroi, Burr (New Guinea), are not congeneric with 
H. humeralis, the type of Hypurgus. They differ in the long, 
and slender antennal segments, which are those of a true 
opisthocosmiid, while the antennae of Hypurgus humeralis are 
short, as in the Forficulinae. 
new genus has therefore been erected for H. simplex and 
H. birot: this is :— 
Genus NarBERIA, Burr.

Hypurgus humeralis, Kirby, var. vittatus, nov. 
Differs from typical Cingalese specimens in being rather 
larger, and in having the shoulder spot lengthened into a longi- 
tudinal band: itis not structurally distinct, only a larger, 
rather finer race with different pattern of elytra.

am now inclined to refer this genus to the Anechurinae : 
it is to be hoped that fresh material be shortly forthcoming to 
settle the very unsatisfactory question.

Forficula? cingalensis, Dohrn. 
In a review of the monograph of the Indian Earwigs 
(Ent. Rundschau, xxvii, p. 175, 1910), Zacher discusses this 
species, having found Dohrn’s type and a second male in the 
lin Museum. He considers it to be a Spongiphorid em 
sg 
long, and the elytra have a sharp keel. Zacher suggests plac- 
ing it provisionally in Erotesis, near to E. decipiens, but. the 
presence of the keel on the elytra demands a new genus, if it 
is at all related to this group. : 
The following is a translation of Zacher’s redescription of 
this species :— 
* Antennae with 16 segments: pronotum with broad, 
translucent borders: elytra keeled and sides of the abdomen 
acute and keeled: second tarsal segment simple, the first very 
long: forceps of the ¢ broad at the bases, bowed, with two
