SPOLIA ZEYLANICA. 
logctni in the following particulars, namely, by the more shining 
black, densely granulate pronotum; the distinct red border 
markings; the stronger narrowing of vertex of head; in the 
presence of but one curved spine, arming the lateral lobes ; the 
more slender femora; the teeth of lower margin of femora, but 
lightly developed ; lateral margins of posterior tibiae less appre¬ 
ciably dilated.

Allied to Scelimena gavialis , De Saussure. Body moderately 
large, granulate* long extended posteriorly attenuate acute. Face 
retreating ; eyes subglobose, little exserted. Vertex narrowed 
toward the front, much narrower than eye, but wider than in 
gavialis , depressed and declined forward, the anterior half lightly 
longitudinally canaliculate on either side, frontal margin subtrun¬ 
cate not advanced quite so far as the eyes, the short oblique 
frontal carinulse converging forward, little bent inward at the 
front margin, interrupted by the slightly conspicuous median 
carina of vertex. Frontal costa roundly protuberant between the 
antennae, moderately sulcate, the rami diverging forward sub¬ 
straight, above between the eyes distinct but not advanced. 
Posterior ocelli conspicuous in profile before the lower angle of 
the eye. Antennae filiform, inserted below the eyes and in a 
vertical plane scarcely behind their anterior borders ; palpi little 
compressed apically. Pronotum granulate, not shining as in the 
preceding species gavialis , but presenting in a similar way, a 
truncate frontal margin, and three pairs of dorsal protuberances, 
with more distinct little longitudinal supernumerary carinulae 
surmounting each summit; often these lines become to a certain 
degree furcate, sending out minute secondary carinulae, the secQnd 
pair outwardly coalescing with the lateral carinse ; dorsum at the 
shoulders bicarinate enclosing a narrow scapular area ; the anterior 
prozonal carinae short, little subdiverging backward ; the fronto- 
lateral margins not at all enlarged or appreciably tuberculate ; 
extreme apex of pronotal process bispinose acute ; inferior margins 
of lateral lobes of pronotum outwardly slightly dilated, a little 
before the posterior angle provided with a tooth, besides the 
posterior angle of lateral lobe armed with a strong produced 
spine curved little forward acute, posteriorly obliquely truncate, 
serrulate. Elytra oblong acuminate apically ; wings extended 
nearly or about to the pronotal apex. Anterior femora granulate, 
little compresso-ampliate, superior margin cut by two distinct
