THE HETEROMERA OF BARKUDA ISLAND.

The outstanding feature with regard to the Heteroraerous 

 fauna of Barkuda Island ' is the preponderance of S. Indian forms. 

 A few species have a wider distribution in India and the East, but 

 the majority of those here recorded are known only from the south- 

 ern part of the peninsular and from Ceylon. The most notable 

 exceptions are: Allecula humeralis, sp. nov., of which the British 

 Museum possesses two specimens, one each from Assam and Siam ; 

 but it may prove to be that this species occurs much more widely 

 though rarely in India ; and Artactes gravelyi, sp. nov*., belonging 

 to a genus of essentially more eastern distribution. 



One species, Gonocephalum lewisi, sp. nov., is known hitherto 

 from Ceylon only, but further collecting will probably prove its 

 occurrence more generally in S. India.
