between the eyes, soinewliat convex and a little smoother along the middle, the 

 eyes very laroe ; antennae long, slender. Prothorax longer than broad, 

 narrowed in front aud behind. Elytra broader than long, laterally about as 

 long as the prothorax, obliquely truncate at the apex. Abdomen cylindrical, 

 very gradually narrowing from the base, almost immarginate laterally, tbe

Hah. Kumaon, W. Almora {H. G. C). 



One specimen. Larger and more robust than ^S". (^Hemistemis) 

 posticus Fauv., and also differing from it 1>y the convex, almost immar- 

 ginate abdonaen, the extremely coarse sculpture, and the pilose body. 

 The prothorax is longer and the puncturing of the upper surface coarser 

 than in >S'. {Hi/postoius) veiifricosus Fauv. II. p)tilc]ier Motsch. and 

 H. circiuiijicxus Fauv. are ec^ually large forms, with a less coarsely 

 punctured abdomen etc. 



Hyposfenus jlavovitfatus, n. sp. 



Extremely elonfzate, narrow, shining, sparsely, finely pubescent; black, the 

 antennae, palpi, labrum, legs, and a sinuous submaroinal stripe on each elytron, 

 Havo-testaceous. Head rather long, broadly excavate between the eyes, sub- 

 Ciirinate down the middle, rather coarsely, irregularly, not very closely punctate ; 

 antennae very long. Prothorax subcylindriciil, narrow, fuUj' one-half longer 

 than broad, somewhat flattened on the disc anteriorly, the sides slightly 

 converging towards the base and apex ; closelj^, rather coarsely punctate, with 

 an abbreviated polished median line. Elj^tra longer than broad, a little wider 

 than the head, rounded at the sides ; closely, rather coarsely punctate. 

 Abdomen very long, cylindrical, closely, rather coarsely punctate, the punctures 

 nearly as coarse as those on the prothorax ; the segments 1, 5, and 6 with a fine 

 marginal carina, the others immargiuate. Legs long and slender, the femora 

 thickened in their basal half and slender at the tip ; fourth tarsal joint broadly 

 bilobed.

Rah. W. Almora, Kumaon {H. G. C). 



One specimen, found amongst the vast number of Dianous sent 

 home unmounted in spirit by my son. A near ally of 8. (Hypostemis) 

 ci/lnulricoJIis Boh. and anrjusticolUs Epp., the prothorax longer and less 

 cvlindrical, the elytra broader and sinuously tiavo-vittate laterally. The 

 elyti-al ornamentation is unusual in this genus, though a second some- 

 what similarly marked form, H.Jiexuosus, was found in the same region, 



Hypostemis Jteccuosus, n. sp. 



Shining, clothed with rather long whitish pubescence; black, the antennae, 

 palpi, legs, and a sinuous stripe of variable width extending down the disc of
