CICINDELID-ZE OF CEYLON. 
35 
Some species seem to me to be doubtful as belonging to the 
fauna of Ceylon, fresh proofs of their appearance being required. 
Such species are the following

p. 601. 
Gollyris andrewesi , W. Horn, Deutsch, Ent. Zeitschr., 1894, 
p. 170. 
Tricondyla tumidula , Walk. (cf. supra). 
Cicindela aurofasciata , Guer. (spec. ?), ul.., Motsch. Bull. Mosc.,

Description of New Species and Varieties. 
Tricondyla (Derocrania) fusiformis, n. sp., pi. f. 1. 
Derocraniae gibbicipi Chd. simillima, differt statura majore, 
figura angustiore ; fronte inter oculos paullo minus excavata, 
plicis illis 2 longitudinalibus (in specie Chaudoiri distincte elevatis 
et ultra impressionem punctiformem juxtaorbitalem prolongatis) 
multo minus distinctis brevioribusque (ante impressiones illas 
abbreviate) ; prothoracis parte postica dilatata minus parallela 
magisque conica (id est in media prothoracis longitudine angus¬ 
tiore), margine antico libero minus profunde emarginato ; elytris 
angustioribus, in medio et postice minus inflatis, subtiiius 
paulloque densius sculptis ; tibiis tarsisque minus cyanescentibus 
(magis brunnescentibus). Pronoto elytrisque subbrunnescentibus 
(non metallicis). Long, 11 mm. (sine labro) : one male. 
This small narrow species is closely allied to Derocrania nietneri , 
Motsch., but is a little longer, the head narrower, and the interor¬ 
bital region of the frontal area plainer ; the prothorax (anterior 
and posterior half) is narrower and longer, and less inflated 
behind the middle. The elytra are more elongate, witli the whole 
.surface (except the extreme apex) densely punctured. D. nietneri 
has the prothorax and the elytra metallescent, the tibiae and tarsi 
lighter rufescent. In the new species the two longitudinal plicae 
of the front are prolonged backwards in the form of indistinct* 
impressions. 
Gollyris saundersi , Chd., sub-sp. Icetior , n. var. 
Differt a typo statura paullo minore ; colore supra subtusque 
(capite nigricante) subolivascente; femoribus coxisque rufo- 
brunnescentibus ; tibiis aut cyaneis aut rufotestaceis ; tarsis totis 
cyaneis aut primo pedum intermediorum posticorumque articulo 
brunnescente ; prothoracis collo antico minus abrupte constricto 
paulloque crassiore. Long. 13-16 mm. : one male, two females.
