888 JOURNAL, BOMBAY NATURAL HIST. SOCIETY, Vol XXVIII. 
Thorax and scutellum pale green, with short pale pubescence ; dorsum with 
three brown longitudinal lines, the middle one shorter than the outer ones, none 
of them reaching the scutellum ; (these lines are often almost or quite 
obsolete, but usually traces of them may be observed). 
Abdomen eoncolorous with thorax, with similar pubescence, and a double 
series of small black longitudinal spots on segments 3—7 inclusive, but these are 
sometimes obsolete, or the whole abdomen may be more or less darkened. 
Legs j)ale green, with short soft pubescence ; fore coxae very long, more than half 
as Jong as femora ; motatarsi, except apex, pale, remaining tarsal joints blackish 
brown. 
Wings clear hyaline, all nervures pale, halteres light yellowish green. 
$ Similar to the ^ , but abdomen without dark markings, and those on the 
thorax very faint or obsolete ; the distanee between the eyes at vertex is about 
g the total w'idth of head ; the frons and face widen slightly towards the mouth 
edge ; the facets of the eyes are of equal size throughout. 
L. 6-8 mm. 
Described from 9 specimens from Deesa, most of which were obtained at 
flowers of Calotropis gigantea. 
Only two species of this genus have hitherto been described, viz., H. albidipen- 
ms Lw. and H. glancus Beck. The present species differs from both the above 
in its larger size and much lighter colour. 
Heterotropus pallens, n. sp. 
(5 Superficially very like H. indicus described above, but differs structurally 
as follows : eyes touching for only a very short space ; upper mouth edge consider- 
ably produced ; 3rd antennal joint longer, but terminal style shorter; first joint 
of antennae and apical third of 2nd joint pale, remainder of antennae reddish 
brown, style about i the length of 3rd joint ; the lower third of the eyes is divided 
from the upper portion by a fine line as in the preceding species, but the facets 
are of approximately equal size on the upper two-thirds. Thorax with some 
indications of two darker longitudinal lines, abdomen with longer pubescence 
and no black markings, though segments 1 — 3 at base appear somewhat darker 
underneath the pubescence ; tarsi much lighter, the first four joints at ajiex 
narrowl 5 % and the w^hole of the 5th joint reddish brown. 
$ Similar to the ^ , but the production of the upper mouth edge is much more 
noticeable, bemg almost rostrate ; view’ed in profile it equals about § the short 
diameter of the eye. The eye facets are more or less of equal size throughout. 
L. 6-8 mm. 
Described from 1 d and 2 9 $ obtained at Quetta in May. 
Eiirycarenus ? laticeps, Loew. 
This species w^as originally described from S. Africa, and appears to be widely 
distributed in E. and S. E. Africa. Bezzi records it from Nigeria and Kordafan, 
and there are specimens is the B. M. from Natal, Ehodesia, and Nyasaland. 
I can detect no difference betw'een my Indian specimens, obtained at Jubbul- 
])ore, and those from E. Africa, but my only d is not in good condition, and I 
am inclined to think that the males of this genus differ more than the females. 
Bezzi wrote in Tr. Ent. Soc., 1911, p. 613, that only one species of this genus was 
known, as he considered that E. pachyceratus Big. may belong to another genus. 
I have, however, recently seen in the B. M. specimens from Africa, to which he 
has given new names, and which will presumably be described by him in due 
course. Colonel Yerbury informs me that a species of Eurycarenvs, which he 
believes to be undescribed, occurs at Aden, and it is quite possible that the Lidian 
pecimens may prove to belong to a distinct species when males in good condi- 
ion are available for exammation.
