48 E. T. Atkinson — Notes on Indian Rliynchota. [No. 1, 



trum, anteniiEe coxas and feet, yellow ; tarsi of a lighter colour ; spines 

 on feet, black. Head rounded, emarginate in the middle, the tylus 

 shorter than the juga, the latter inclosing it, the borders also defined 

 and posteriorly with 13-14 piliferous points on each side : vertex almost 

 smooth, obsoletely striated : three ocelli near the eyes : rostrum reaching 

 the intermediate coxae, antennge short, the second joint shorter than the 

 third : pronotum very convex, with a strong line of dots behind the 

 emargination and a slight impression ; others at the anterior angles 

 and on the transverse impression ; the lateral margins sinuate and 

 with 13-14 ciliated points : scutellum with the tip angularly rounded, 

 rugosely and sparingly punctured on the disc, the base smooth : hemely- 

 tra strongly punctured ; the marginal side visible to the tip but indis- 

 tinct from the middle of the corium, and appearing crenulated, due to 

 the presence of nine piliferous points or dots : the internal radial vein 

 ending in the middle of the corium : membrane very long, of a light 

 yellow hyaline and extending from near its half beyond the abdomen ; 

 feet yellow, with black spines ; anterior tibiae very broad, with seven 

 stout spines, the sixth and seventh almost united as in Lactistes : abdo- 

 men smooth, impressed on the sides, in the space occupied by the ciliated 

 points and the stigmata : plaques mates striated and punctured, the up- 

 per ending in a point on the suture, the lower separated from the smooth 

 lateral space by an almost straight line ; the ostiolar canal not reaching 

 the middle of the metasternum and ending in a reniform lobe, with a 

 valvular tooth in the indentation. Differs from Ae. indicus, Westw. by 

 its much broader head, almost smooth, and the tylus shorter than the 

 juga which inclose it. In Ae. indicus, the head is longer than broad be- 

 tween the eyes and the tylus is very narrow in front and as long as the 

 juga which almost inclose it (Sign.). Long, 7 ; broad, 4 mill. 

 Reported from Silhet.

Black : broadly oval, convex, much punctured over its entire sur- 

 face, much ciliated on the head and pronotum : two glossy spaces on the 

 anterior disc of the pronotum, at the basal angles of the scutellum and 

 a median line on the latter almost carinate. Head rounded in front ; 

 the tylus very narrow at the tip which reaches the juga, margins slight- 

 ly reflexed : pronotum ciliated on the sides and on the surface near the 

 margin at the anterior angles ; hemelytra much ciliated on the mar- 

 ginal side, with 12-13 piliferous points : membrane short, brown : feet 

 black ; tarsi pale ; anterior tibiae with eight spines on the external side
