CoTALPA, Burm. 

 One species, the " goldsmith beetle," 

 Cotalpa lanigera, Linn. (Fig. 29, beetle ; 

 fig. 30, larva), is found in our fauna. It 

 is about the size of the preceding species, 

 and has the head and thorax golden, the 

 elytra cream-coloured, with a slight 

 bluish cast. Beneath metallic green, 

 woolly. 



CVCLOCEPHALA, Latr. 

 C. immaculata, Oliv., has once been reported by Mr. Moffat. It is a 

 yellowish or reddish testaceous insect about half-an-inch in length, the 

 head dark or even black. It bears some slight resemblance to Certain 

 Lachnosterna, but has shorter legs. 



LiGVRUS, Burm. 

 The two beetles belonging to this genus differ greatly in size, and are 

 otherwise easily separated. They are brownish in colour, heavier than 

 Lachnosterna in appearance and with shorter legs. Ligyrus relictus 

 breeds in old manure heaps. 



Thorax without tubercle in front; length, .70-. 90 in relictus, Say. 



Thorax with a tubercle near the middle of anterior margin ; length, 



•48-.67 in glbbosjis, De g! 



Aphonus, Lee. 



A single species bearing considerable resemblance in size, form and 



coXowx \.o Ligyrtis gibbosus\% recorded. It may easily be distinguished, 



however, by the lack of the thoracic tubercle and by the clypeus bearing 



a tridentate process before the tip, whence the name A. tridentatm, Say. 



XvLORYCTES, Hope. 

 To this genus belongs the Xzx^^t X. satyrus, Fabr., which attains a 

 length of above an inch and is correspondingly heavy. The male has a 

 long horn, curved backwards at tip, while the female has the head orna- 

 mented simply with a small tubercle on the vertex. 



Euphoria, Burm. 

 Two species belong here, similar in shape, but 

 easily separated. These are E. inda, Linn., 

 (Fig. 31) and E. fulgida, Fabr. (Fig. 32), 

 distinguished thus :
