pandens however the lateral post spiracular tooth is stouter. A. mahensis 
is much more distinct and may be told from either of the foregoing 
species by the very prominent distal denticulate lobe of the two on the 
ventral edge of the hind femur. The post marginal is nearly as long as 
the marginal and there are other colour differences for which the original 
description may be consulted. 
Type $ in British Museum. 
One of a series ofS^^^J, 10$$ expnpa, Hypsipyla robustaMoore “ out 
of Toon ” {Cedrela Toona Roxb.) Dehra Dun, United Provinces, May- 
June 1915 (C. F. C. Beeson). (April-May 1916, N. C. C.) 
Besides the above Antrocephalus there are in the collection three other 
Haltichellid species represented by unique examples from unknown hosts. 
Antrocephalus humilis sp. n. 
5 . Black, tegulee and legs brown. Wings hyaline, with a brown- 
spot extending backwards from the marginal to about \ of the breadth. 
Antennae dark brown, the first two joints of the funicle, the third obs- 
curely, and the club, paler. 
Belongs to the section of Antrocephalus in which the scutellum is 
longitudinally sulcate and the hind femur bears a strong tooth or pointed 
tubercle on the inner aspect near the base. 
Length 4*2 mm. alar expanse about 6| mm. 
Type ? in British Museum. 
Under Bark. Dehra Dun, 7th January 1913. (A. D. Imms.) 
Allied to Antrocephalus Mitys Wlk., {Haltichella Mitys, List Hymen. 
Brit. Mus., I, p.84, 1846, Africa) and Antrocephalus simplex Wlk. {Halti- 
chella simplex, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., p. 366. 1862, Africa), to which it 
is more nearly related than to A. fabricator Wlk. , (l.c., p.365)with which 
Walker compares his simplex. From A. Mitys the Indian form differs 
in its entirely dark abdomen, paler hind femora and darker funicle, 
while structurally the most salient contrast is in the lobing of the hind 
femur. In humilis these denticulate swellings are nearly equal in emi- 
nence and breadth (length) while in the others the more distal lobe is 
much the larger and more prominent. 
\ 
Antrocephalus phaeospilus sp. n. 
? . Black, shining. Tegulse and legs except the fore coxae brown. 
Wings nearly hyaline with a light brown spot on and behind the mar- 
ginal to about j of the width. The antennae are dark sepia coloured, 
only the pedicel with the first and second funicular joints brown.
