" At 6000 feet, by beating " (H. Leslie Audrewes). 

 A few specimens. 



The tubercles of the elytra and the small eyes separate this species from all the- 

 other forms of Sintor. 



4. Habrissus sellifer spec uov. 



cJ?. ^imil-a.r to n. indicug Jord. (1903), but head and rostrnm with sharply 

 marked grey mesial vitta; eiid-segmeat of aatenna black-browu like the other 

 segments of the club, not luteons ; disc of pronotnm distinctly bi-imjiressed, the 

 grey markings ill-defined ; the grey transverse postmedian band of elytra further 

 back; mesosternal process more rounded; metasternnm of c? with velvety lilack

Hab. Nilgiri Hills (H. Leslie Andrewes). 



Several specimens. 



Phloeomimus gen. nov. 



(J ?. Head similar to that of Pkloeohhis Sch., but neither carinate nor sulcate. 

 Antenna not reaching beyond base of prothorax, segments 2 and 3 thinner than the 

 others, 5 slightly thicker than 4 and G, esjiecially in c?, 8 as long as broad, club 

 hardly longer than segments 6, 7 and 8 together. Eye as in Pkloeobius, coarsely 

 granulated, deeply sinuate. Antennal groove not covered, transverse. Prothoracic 

 carina basal, laterally extending to middle. First tarsal segment short, claw- 

 segment of foretarsus a little shorter than segments 1, 2 and 3 together. 



Distinguished from PIdoeobius especially by the antenna. We are acquainted 

 with only one species, which resembles Basitropis in shape. 



5. Phloeomimus griseus spec. nov. 



<??. Subcylindrical ; brown-lilack, somewhat rufescent ; densely covered with 

 a clayish grey pubescence, the npperside being indistinctly marked with brown, 

 Kostrum slightly impressed in middle. Eye about four times as long transversely 

 as broad in centre. Prothorax broader than long, truncate, widest a little behind 

 middle, being rounded at sides ; puucturatiou very dense ; angle of carina a little 

 over l)ti , but not rounded. Elytra cylindrical, practically truncate at base, basal 

 callosity just vestigial ; regularly punctate-striate, liearing dispersed indistinct 

 brown dots. Pygidium twice as broad as long, rounded. Prosteruum depressed in 

 front, very short. Mesosternal j)rocess vertical, curved backwards at apex. 



Length, 5^ to ~\ mm. ; breadth, 2 to 2i mm.
