Eiisthenes polyphemus, Stal, Trans. Eut. Soc, (3 s.) i, p. 508 (1863) ; En. Hem., i 

 p. 72, 232 (1870) : Walker, Cat. Het., iii, p. 4G8 (1868). 



c?, 5 • Above more or less obscurely ajiiescent-castaneons ; beneath 

 with feet, apex of soutellum, a great part of the first joint of the antennja 

 and small dorsal marginal spots on the abdomen, yellow-castaneous : 

 last pair of femora somewhat fuscous-castaneous. In the 9 , the me- 

 tastethium is posteriorly much broader than in the cf, in which the 

 form of the metastethiura is very like that of E. heraules, Stal, and also 

 the form of the second ventral and anal segments, but differs in having 

 the mesostethial ridge more elevated and there without a furrow, the 

 last pair of tibiro not so stout, and the lower flattened part longer, reach- 

 ing the middle of the tibia;. The last tibire, in the S , are very slightly 

 curved. Differs from E. rolustus, Serv., in having the anterior lateral 

 margins of the pronotum, not, unless posteriorly, slightly rounded, 

 lateral angles somewhat more prominulous, the very large spine on last 

 pair of femora and the last pair of tibiaa more curved : the last tibiae, in 

 6 , are very sliglitly curved. Long, 33 ; broad, 17 mill. 

 Reported from the Uekhau, N". India.

<?, 9. Olivaoeous-black, slightly turning into ferruginous: be- 

 neath with the base of the apical joint of the antennfe and the apex of 

 the scutellum, yellow testaceous, here and thei-e purpurascent and 

 BBuescent. Smaller than E. rohustiis, Serv., and longer than E. cupreus, 

 Westw , differs in having the antenniB a little stouter, also in the colour 

 of the apical joint of the antennre and of the apex of the scutellum, es- 

 pecially, in having the elevated part of the metastethium narrower pos- 

 teriorly, and the largo spine of the last pair of femora in the c? placed 

 nearer to the base ; the other spines on the last femora are fewer and 

 smaller than in E. robnstus : apical angles of sixtli abdominal segment, in 

 (?, somewhat straight, hardly acute: anal segment in c? posteriorly; 

 broadly and obtusely sinuated, posterior angles obtusely rounded {Stal.) 

 Long, 27-30; broad, 13 mill.
