Ilypehaeus alhoterminatus, n. sp, 



J . Oblong, finely pubescent, moderately shining ; black, the four basal 

 joints of the antennae in part, the prothorax, and the legs (a black mark at the 

 apices of the posterior tibiae excepted), testaceous ; the elytra with a rather 

 broad whitish space at the tip, the apical vesicles and the sides a little below 

 the humeri testaceous ; the head almost smooth, the prothorax sparsely, 

 extremely minutely, the elytra more closely, punctulate. Head about as wide 

 as the prothorax, short, uiiiin])ressed ; antennae long, not very slender, serrate 

 from joint 5 onward. Protlioi'ux strongly transverse, convex, rounded at the 

 sides. Elytra gradually widened to about the middle, excavate at the apex, 

 the apices produced and each bearing a broad, stout, upturned, angular, ear-like 

 appendage. Legs slender, rather short, tlie posterior tibiae curved.

Hah. Upper Guinti Valley, W. Almora Division of Kumaon 

 (//. O. C: iv.1919). 



Three males. Closely allied to the Mediterranean Il.JiavicoUis Er., 

 differing in its smaller size, the shorter antennae and legs, the black-tipjied 

 posterior tibiae, and the produced apices of the elytra, which arc 

 furnished with broader and stouter vesiculiform appendages. The legs 

 are shorter than in the other Indian species here referred to the genus 

 Hypehaens. 



Hypehaeus alhocaudatus, n. sp. 



(5- Moderarely elongate, narrow, finely pubescent, the head and prothorax 

 shilling, the elytra dull ; black, the head, antennae (the infuscate joints 6-10 

 excepted), prothorax, abdomen, and legs (the partly infuscate posterior tibiae 

 excepted), testaceous or rufo-testaceous ; the elytra broadly whiti.-h at the apex, 

 the margins interruptedly and the apictil appendages testaceous ; the head and 

 prothorax sparsely, and the elytra densely, very minutely, punctulate. Head 

 as wide as the prothorax ; antennae very long, slender, feebly serrate from 

 joint 6 onward. Prothorax transverse, rounded at the sides. Elytra slightly 

 widened to about the middle, obliquely narrowed and produced at the apex ; 

 each with a conical protuberance near the suture before the apical depression, 

 the latter almost hidden by the transversely oval, concave, vertical, disciform 

 appendages. Legs long, very slender, the posterior tibiae curved. 



Length If mm. 



Hab. Kanikhet Division of Kumaon (^S. G. C). 



One male. Narrower than H. alhoterminatus, the legs and 

 antennae longer and more slender, the head testaceous (the basal half 

 darker , perhaps due to discoloration), the apices of the elytra ( c5' ) very 

 differently formed.
