gradually thickened from before the middle up to tlie apex ; 

 the joints succeeding the fourth are all in both sexes destitute 

 of small tufts of hairs , and , with the exception of the fifth , 

 have an uniform fulvous-grey pubescence. This last character, 

 however, though holding good for the few specimens from the 

 Garin Mts. which 1 have seen , is liable , I think , to variation 

 and may be considered of very little importance. 



In H. penicillata , Hope , the fourth joint of the antennae is 

 thickened at the middle, and, between this thickening and the 

 large swelling at the apex, is somewhat narrowed or constricted ; 

 in the males of this species a small but distinct tuft of black 

 hairs is to be seen on the underside at the apex of each of the 

 joints from the eigth to the tenth; a few black hairs of similar 

 character are to be found in fresh specimens at the apex of the 

 seventh and at the middle of the eleventh joint. 



In specimens from Java and Borneo which I refer to H. piu- 

 mosa, Oliv., the fourth antennal joint has a form similar to that 

 of H. penicillata, but the succeeding joints are in both sexes 

 destitute of small pencils of hairs. In these specimens also the 

 disk of the prothorax is a little less uneven than in fl. penicil- 

 lata or //. vicina. 



So far as the relative length of the prothorax is concerned 

 I am unable to detect any appreciable differences in the three 

 species just mentioned. What Lacordaire regarded as a specific 

 distinction seems to me to be simply a sexual difference. In the 

 males of all the species the prothorax is decidedly longer than 

 in the females. 



122. Golsinda basicornis, sp. n. G. corallinae persimilis sed 

 minor, magis parallela, scapo antennarum apice minus abrupte 

 incrassato, quam articulo tertio panilo hreviore. Long. 14-22 mm. 



Garin (district of Ghecù), alt. 1300-1400 m. ; also Siam, Laos, 

 and Allahabad (British Museum collection). 



This species strongly resembles Golsinda corallina , Thoms. 

 with which it seems to have been confounded by INIr. Pascoe 

 (vide Longic. Malay, p. 133) as it was by myself until a recent 

 examination had shown me that the specimens from Laos and
