expanded, and a shallow but marked median depression on the first 

 three abdominal segments. Length 8-§-io mm. 



1 ex., i5-22*vii , i6 and 6 ex., 25"vii-4 # viiri7 (F. H. Gravely). 



This species is represented in the British Museum by speci- 

 mens from 'Bengale' from the Bates' collection which bear the 

 MS. name I have adopted, and by two labelled 'Berhampur ' from 

 the Atkinson collection. A specimen from the Bates' collection is 

 faken as the type. 



The species is intermediate in many respects between 

 P. elongatus Muls., and Amblysphagus pachyderus Fairm., the 

 thorax not having the sharp granules of the former, with the sides 

 much more finely crenulate, while the latter has the sides of the 

 thorax entire and the posterior angles rounded. It is doubtful 

 whether Amblysphagus Fairm., can stand as a distinct genus. 



Mesomorphus villiger Blanch. 



Blanchard, Voy. PoleSud. IV, 1853, p. 154, pi. 10, fig. 15. 



2 ex., 17X20, 'at light' (N. Annandale). 



Widely distributed in the tropics of Asia and recorded also 

 from tropical Africa. 



Mesomorphus rugulosus Chat. 



Chatanay, Bull. Paris. Mus. 1917, 4. P- 6. 



2 ex., i5-22 - vii-i6 (F. H. Gravelv); 3 ex., 25'vii-4*viiri7 (N. 

 Annandale); 5 ex., 3-ig*viiiiq (F. H. Gravely); 3 ex., i3 - ix-2o, 

 'with termites' (N. Annandale) ; 2 ex., 4-10/XT.9 (F. H. Gravely). 



Further specimens have been received from the Kheri Forest, 

 U.P., India, on 'Sal,' Shorea rcbusta (H. G. Champion) and from 

 Java. The species was described from Indo-China and Burma, so 

 that it appears to be rather widely distributed in tropical Asia.
