MEMBRA CIDJE. 
POLOCEETRUS RUFUS, n.s. 
(Plate LVIII. figs. 2, 2a, 2b.) 
Pale, generally ferruginous yellow, but sometimes darker in tint. Posterior born 
longer than the abdomen, and equals in length the tips of the tegmina. 
Suprahumerals short, and, as they are divergent, they do not appear in the profile 
view of the insect. Posterior horn expanded at the extremity into a claviform 
process, which is serrated below. Pronotum developed into a dorsal hump, from 
which the posterior horn takes its rise. 
Tegmina pale ferruginous, with a red venation, and a distinct limbus. Four or 
five apical, and three discoidal cellules, which are cycloidal rather than rhombic in 
form. The frons is flat and hirsute, and the tibiae (more particularly the fore tibiae) 
distinctly spatulate. 
The underside is concolorous-ferruginous, and the scutellum is covered. 
Expanse, 1G mm. 
Size, 8x4 mm. 
Habitat. —Mysore, S. India. 
The Hope Collection contains several examples. 
Unfortunately my figure is drawn under a less magnification than the other 
examples of the genus. This species may be taken as typifying the genus Polo- 
centrus. 
POLOOENTRUS NEUTER, n.s. 
(Plate LVIII. fig. 3.) 
Husky-ferruginous with greyer shades on the pronotum. Posterior horn less 
pronounced in the sinuosities, but expanded and clavate at the apex. Tegmina 
ferruginous with a red neuration. Suprahumerals short, divergent, and acute. 
Size, 6x4 mm. 
Habitat. —Madras. 
Kindly lent by Mr. Distant. 
Two specimens, one of which is defective. 
Genus : ISCHNOCENTRUS. 
StSl, l.c. p. 292. 
May be recognised by its very short posterior horn, which stretches out like a 
short tail from the pronotum.
