several specimens of both sexes at Shillong, in the North Khasi Hills, and 

 has thus enabled us to give a more precise locality for the species. 



I now give a figure of the male, which was unknown to Westwood, but 

 am obliged to reserve my description of it for a future paper. 



The species in both sexes runs so very close to a winged species (ap- 

 parently a variety of Necroscia Spar axes, Westw.) from the same region 

 that it now occurs to me that it may after all be nothing more than an 

 apterous form of it. 



Bacteria Sinkiebetstsis, n. sp. 



$ $ . Differs from B. Saraivaha, Westw. 5 ? chiefly in the rela- 

 tive proportions of the different parts of the body. 



The following are the measurements of dried specimens of the male and 

 female : — 



$ . Total length 32 lines ; head 1'75 ; proth. 175 ; mesoth. 8-75 ; 

 metath. 4 ; abd. 13-25 + 3 = 16*25 ; antennse 28-5. 



$ , Total length 3 in. 6 lines ; head 2-5 lines ; proth. 2-25 ; mesoth 

 10-75 ; metath. 4-25 ; abd. 18'5 + 3 = 21-5 ; antennae 31-25. 



Hab. Sinkieb (Sinkep ?) Island, near Linga Island, off the N. E. coast 

 of Sumatra, a male and a female taken in copula by my native collector.

 I have nothing to add to my original description.

A spirit-specimen of the male, the only sex at pre^^ent known, mea-

$ . Total length 2 in. 2-25 lines ; head 2'5 ; proth. 2 ; mesoth. 4*75 ; 

 metath. 2-75 ; abd. 9-5 + 4-75 = 14-25 lines. 



Hab. Pusalava, Ceylon {H. NevilV). 



I place the species provisionally in the genus JRJiapJiiderus, because it 

 not nearly approaches R. scahrosus, with which it also agrees in its highly 

 polished integument.
