tliree rows of 5 or 6 pnuctiires — sutural, siibbumeral, and marginal, — the 

 sutural stria deep, tlie subluimeral groove oblique, curved, pballow; accessory 

 punctures vpanting. Abdomen rather clotsely (except the exposed dorsal seg- 

 ments 1 and 2 in the middle), strongly punctate. Legs moderately long ; tibiae 

 strongly spinose. 

 Length 7 mm.

One specimen. This insect lias the general facies of a Mijceto- 

 foriis, but the elongate apical joint of the maxillary i)alpi brings it into 

 Bolitohins. It has shorter h.'gs and antennae than the European 

 IB. airicapillus F. ; the head isbroadei-, the elytra are narrower, the tibiae 

 are very strongly spinose, and the abdomen is strongly punctured and 

 clothed with decumbent bristly liairs. Two Burmese representatives of 

 this genus were described bj' Fauvel in 1895, but they are not related 

 to this or the following species. 



Bolifohins d'anthopterus, n. s]). 



Black, shining, the four basal joints and the tip of the antennae, the palpi, 

 elytra (the indexed outer margins excepted), legs, and .anterior coxae, and the 

 apical margin of each abdominal segment, testaceous ; the abdomen and under 

 surface clothed with long, decumbent, bristly liairs, the abdominal segments 

 with longer projecting setae at each hind angle, the elytra with a few fine, 

 eiect hairs. Head smooth, rather narrow, less than half the width of the base 

 of the prothorax ; autennae rather long, joints 1-4 shining, slender, 5-11 

 opaque, moderately stout, 5-10 about as long as broad, 11 oval. Prothorax as 

 long as broad, subconical, smooth ; the apex with four and the base with two 

 setigerons juujctures. Elytra much wider than tlie prothorax, about as long 

 as broad, each with three rows of 5 or G punctures — sutural, subhumeral, and 

 marginal, — the sutural stria deep; accessory punctures wanting. Abdomen 

 rather sparsely pur.ctured, the exposed dorsal segments 1 and 2 smooth in the 

 middle. Tibiae spinose. 



Length 5-G mm. 



Hah. Ranikhet Division of Kumaon {H. G. C). 



Four specimens. Separable from D. spinipes by the testaceous 

 elytra (the inflexed lateral margins excepted), palpi, and legs ; the less 

 thickened antennae, narrower head, relatively broader elytra, and less 

 strongly spinose tibiae. 



Mi/ccfoporusfasciatocollis, n. sp. 



Narrow, shining, black, the mouth-parts, palpi (the stout infuscute pen- 

 ultimate joint of the muxillaiy pair excepted), the base of the antennae, the 

 basal two-thirds of the prothorax, the elytra with an oblong humeral patch 

 (emitting an oblique ramus within) and an apical fascia (extending forwards 

 at the sides and nearly meeting the humeral streak), the apical margin of each
