SOME INDIAN COLEOPTEEA (5). 

 BY G. C. CHAMPION, F.Z.S. 

 {Continued from Vol. Ivi. Yt. 249.) 



The })resent contribution is based upon a study o£ a little batcdi 

 of IVlalacliiids sent b}^ uiy eldest son from Kumaon, supplemented by 

 a few from the native state of Chamba, etc., presented to the British 

 Museum by Mr. H. E. Andrewes, and one or two more belonging to the 

 Oxford Museum. The genera Colotfs and Hypelaeiis have not hitherto 

 been recorded from continental India ; but two species placed by Gorham 

 under other names certainly belong to the former, and the two Indian 

 Ehael named by Pic probably appertain to the latter, as here understood.* 

 In Colofes, (S , the anterior tarsi are 4-jointed, the maxillary palpi are 

 very peculiarly" formed, and the elytra are not excavate at the apex. In 

 Hi/pehaeus, 6 , the anterior tarsi are simple and 5-jointed (as in the 

 genus Anfhocoimis), the maxillary palpi are normal, and the elytra are 

 excavate in some species and not in others : two of the Indian insects 

 referred to it have the elytra carinate laterally in both sexes, and a deep 

 apical excavation in d ; two others, with simple elytra, have an 



* The apterous H. cameroni Pic (19*''). from the shore3 of the Red Sea, should perhaps be 

 removed from Rypebaeus : it has, however, the d anterior tarsi 5-jointed.
