enormously dilated first or third antennal joint in that sex. The classi- 

 fication here adopted is that of Abeille de Perrin, in liis " Malachides 

 d'Europe et paj's voisins " (1890-91). The genera niai'ked with an 

 asterisk are additions to the Indian fauna.* There are various unnamed 

 AttaU from the Nijgiris, etc., in the Andrewes collection, but these must 

 be left for the present.

S . Maxillary palpi with joints 3 aud 4 greatly thickened, 3 short, subtri- 

 angiilar, oblicpiely articulated to the narrow, elongate-triangular preceding 

 joint, 4 acuminate-ovate, toothed at the base externally; antennal joint 1 

 elongate, widened, compressed, somewhat pyiiform, l' very short, 3 triangubtr, 

 much longer than 2, 4 sliglitly stouter, 5-11 normal; anterior tarsi simple, 

 4-jointed. 



5 . Maxillary palpi with joint 4 slender, acuminate-ovate ; antennal joint 

 1 elongate, much narrower than in J, 3-11 normal ; anterior tarsi 5-joiuted. 



Hah. IxDLA, Dalhousie, Chamba {coll. II. E. Andrewes : types 

 of Gorhain) ; W. Almora and Kanikhet Divisions, S. Garhwal, and 

 Sunderdhunga, all in Kumaon, alt. 4000-10,000 ft. (H. G. C). 



Sent in abundance from Kumaon, females preponderating. Gorham 

 described the antennae from a 6 and the elytra from a § , and he did 

 not observe the conspicuous c? -characters — 4-jointed front tarsi and 

 extraordinary palpi. The generic name used by him is a " nomen 

 nudum"' and the specific name is preoccupied, Gharopus punctatiis Er, 

 beino" a Colotes. 



* In mv last paper, op. cit., p. 241, Mallhiniis was incorrectly given as an addition, due to the 

 liabitat of ji. albidipeiinia Pic(19U7), Pegu, having been omitted in the "Zoological Record."
