The Annals and magazine of natural history; zoology, botany, and geology . the pro-sternum, the anterior lobe at the apex is margined with astria, but the stria leaves the edge laterally and passesobliquely down the sides ; the mesosternum is rather widelyemarginate and the marginal stria is complete; the meta-sternum is longitudinally sulcate in the middle ; the anteriortibiae are 3-dentate. Hister bffronSj Mars., agrees with this species in the formof the head, but in II. frontalis the thorax is not bisinuous,there is a short stria at the angle, the outer subhumeral striais wanting, the pygidium is not so densely punctured, andthe mesosternum is emarginate not straight. Hab Khasia Hills, Assam. Stictostix parra, Mars. Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. xiii. p. 92(1870). As there are now four species assigned to the genus Sticto-stix from Australia and two from North America, I havethought it desirable to give a figure of the type of the genus,S. parra, Mars. (fig. 2). All the species are highly sculp-tured, but nothing as yet has been recorded of their habits. Fig-. 2. I* Hfi \ ifj • t Wi Stictostix parra, Mars, Notoccelis, gen. nov.

In establishinga genus on a single species it is impossible to give manygeneric characters. Kotocoslis satur, sp. n. (PI. X. fig. 9.)
