EuBEiA Germ. 

 Hiihria semistriata, n. sp. 



Slinrt", ratliev broad, elliptic, convex, sliiniup- ; Llack, the two basal joints 

 of the antennae, the anterior angles of the protiiorax, tarsi, and knees, more or 

 less testaceous; densely clothed with extremely fine, short, blackish pubes- 

 cence which hides the elytral sculpture ; the surface closely, excessively minutely 

 punctured, with more distinct punctures intermixed. Head deeply sunk into 

 the prothorax, the eyes large ; antennae (cJ ) about as long as the body, joint 2 

 extremely short, 3 elongate, 5-10 rather broad and triangular, 11 oblong, 

 ( $ ) short and slender. Prothorax i-apidly narrowing from the base forward, 

 the anterior angles rather prominent. Elytra with five fine, more or less 

 incomplete, impressed striae towards the sides, a complete sinuous one on the 

 disc at some distance from the suture, and one along the suture itself towards 

 the apex. Legs very slender. 



Length L^-2 mm. {6 9-) 



Hah. S. Garhwal, alt. 6500 ft., and Hanikhetin Kumaon (H. G. C). 

 One pair, sent unmounted with other insects captured along the 

 tanks of the streams. Separable fi-om the European E.palustris Germ, 

 by its regular elliptic shape, the black, densely' pubescent body, the 

 testaceous anterior angles of the prothorax, and the very fine imi)ressed 

 lines on the elytra, wdiich are more numerous towards the sides and 

 reduced to one only on the disc. 



Maltiiinus Latr. 



M. UiieatocolUs Champ. (Ent. Mo. Mag. 1920, pp. 241, 24.7), 

 Kumaon. — Numerous additional specimens, including another 6 , have 

 now come to hand from the Eanikhet Division of Kumaon. The genus 

 was incorrectlj^ marked as an addition to the Indian fauna, the description 

 of 31. alhidipennis Pic (1907), type from Pegu, Burma, having been 

 overlooked by me, no locality being given for it in the " Zoological 

 Record " for that year. 



Xyxophilus Latr. 



X. himalaicus Champ. [Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist. (9) v. p. 405 (May 

 1920)], type $ , W. Almora. — Additional specimens, 1 d" , 2 $ $ , have 

 since been received from the Eanikhet Division of Almora. The 6 has 

 the antennae more elongate than the 5 , with joints 4-10 all much longer 

 than broad, the anterior tibiae feebly mucronate at the inner apical angle, 

 and the posterior tibiae somewhat abruptly widened from about the basal 

 third onwards, the basal portion appearing more slender than in $ . The 

 allied Cingalese X. crassipes Champ. (1915), type d, has th-e posterior 

 tibiae in that sex shaped as in X, himalaicus., $ , i.e. gradually widened 

 from the base.
