131. Euparius polius spec nov. 



cJ ¥ . Similar in shape to slender siiecimens of E. tii/ris (1833) Gylh. aud 

 tapirus (1855) Jek. ; pnbesceuce grey, not variegated with ochraceons. Lateral 

 carina of pronotnm as jtromiuent as iu tiyris, dorsal carina faintly concave mesially, 

 slightly convex laterally. Spots of pronotnm black, sitnated as in tiyris, the mesial 

 ones more elongate, resembling those of tapirus, the anterior pair, however, being 

 shorter, and the posterior pair longer. Spots of elytra mostly smaller than iu 

 tigris, no spots on humeral callosity and at basal fourth of suture ; spots before 

 apical declivity and some of tlie sublateral ones elongate. Abdomen with one 

 series of black spots ; a broad black middle stripe, dilated at the bases of the 

 segments. Grey middle ring of tibiae very much broader than the clayish ring of 

 tapirus and tigris, occupying the greater part of the tibiae.

132. Euparius obesus spec. nov. 



(??. Short, broad, convex. Black, pubescence coarse. Antennal segments 

 1 to 8 rufous brown, 11 luteous. Head and rostrum white, variegated with 

 ochraceons. Pronotnm with a number of irregular ochraceons spots and two white 

 subapical spots, besides some white speckles near apex. Elytra ochraceons in 

 sutural and alternate interspaces, white in second, fourth and sixth, lateral and 

 postmediau area blackish, a spot on basal callosity within second interspace, aud 

 some postmedian dots black. Underside speckled with grey. A broad postmediau 

 ring on tibiae, and upperside of first tarsal segment grey. 



Maxillary palpus incrassate, third segment half as long again as brnad : buccal 

 fissure broader than lobe of false mentum. Segment 11 of antenna circular. 

 Prothorax much broader than long, as much produced forward above as in callosus 

 (1833), strongly convex, dei)ressed along basal carina, sinuate laterally before 

 basal angle ; carina concave in middle, lateral angle less than 90°, slightly rounded. 

 Scntellnm very small, a little lunger than broad. Elytra one-third narrower than 

 long, strongly convex, sutural stripe depressed, alternate interstices raised ; 

 punctures of all stripes large. Presternum very short. Mesosternal process 

 vertical, truncate, broad, slightly convex mesially at apex. Metasternum strongly 

 convex. Abdomen of c? strongly depressed mesially. First segment of hindtarsus 

 longer than second.

133. Euparius calcaratus spec. nov. 



c??. Similar in shape to E. apicalis and oy'aa-, but much smaller, not being 

 much longer than the largest specimens of E. lunatus (1801) Fabr., slenderer than 

 the three species mentioned. In colour similar to ojax, Imt more extended white
