Tliis species, when iu good condition, lias the elytra covered with a white chalky 

 substance, leaving the granules black. It was originally described from Bokhara. 

 Hah. Badghis and Hari-rud valley. 



33. Teigonoscelis loxgipes, sp. n. (Plate XIV. fig. 5.) 



Elongata, nigra, subopaca ; thorace sat transverso, convexo, crebre granulate ; elytris 

 obloiigo-ovalibus, ad suturam depressis, granulis parvis parum elevatis discrete 

 sparsis ; pedibus longissimis, sat gracilibus, tarsis louge hirtis. Long. 9 lin., lat. 

 51 lin. 

 Thorax relatively small for species of this genus ; about one third broader than long ; 

 the anterior angles not very prominent. The granules on the surface are very small, 

 moderately close together, but not crowded ; they are less distinct on the front margin 

 and at the sides. The elytra are flattened on the back ; the shoulders are not at all 

 prominent, as in T. grandis, &c. The granules are small and not much elevated ; much 

 less conspicuous, but much more numerous than in T. grandis. The sides are more 

 rounded. The legs very long; the anterior tibioe not quite so much dilated as in 

 T. grandis, convex on their anterior surface, and very finely and closely asperate. 

 Hah. Between Quetta and Khusan.
