 tlie maxillary palpi long and acuminate, a little shorter in $. Prothorax

 punctate, more coarsely so in 5 , deeply foveate near the anterior angles, and 

 with a short median channel. Elytra oblong-oval in (5", oval in J, explanate 

 laterally ; with numerous rows of oblong, coarse ( $ ) or moderately coarse ( J ) 

 punctures, which are about as wide as the narrow, very sparsely, obsoletely 

 punctulate interstices. Beneath opaque, the ventral segments 5 (except at the 

 sides) and 6 shining ; metasternum with two parallel ridges. 



S • Intermediate tibiae curved, sinuous within, and armed towards the

 Hub. India, W. Almora in Kumaon {II. G. C. : v.l919). 



Upwards of 200 examples have been sent of this species, twenty 

 only of wliich are of the male sex, the females being broader and more 

 coarsel^^ punctured than the males. Very like II. cirrafa, but less 

 elongate and a little smaller, the posterior tibiae differently formed in S . 

 The two species wer'j found in company, and all the females obtained 

 seem to be referable to II. bihamata.
