Haplocxemus Stephens. 



1. Haplocnemus nwesfiis. 



Dasi/fes moestus Gorh. Ann, Soc. Ent. Belg. xxxix, p. 323 (1895), 



Hah. Belgaum (Aiidreives). 



Gorham, in describing this species from numerous unset examples, 

 alludes to its oblong, convex body, the coarse elj^tral puncturing, and the 

 securiform apical joint of the maxillary palpi ; but he docs not appear to 

 have noticed the long free appendage of the tarsal claws, a character 

 bringing it into Haplocnemus Steph. A cinereo-pilose, brassy-black or 

 aeneo-piceous insect, with the two basal joints of the antennae 

 testaceous (a streak on 1 above excepted) and the others piceous, the 

 legs piceous, with the tarsi paler ; the antennae of the <S longer than in 

 the $ , and with joints 5-10 more strongly serrate ; the elytral epipleura 

 long and sharply defined. H. moestus (length 2^-3 mm.) is smaller than 

 any European Haplocnemus known to me, and has comparatively slender 

 antennae, and, as Gorham remarks, it is not unlike Cis micans F. 

 Dasytes (Indiodasi/tes) madurensis Pic (Melanges exot.-ent. xviii, p. 14, 

 1916), from Madura, seems to be an allied form, but it is said to have 

 the epipleura " fere nuUis." 



2. Haplocnemus indicus, n. sp. 



Elongate, convex, shining-, cinereo-pilose, brassy-black, the palpi, antennae, 

 and legs black, the tarsi paler. Plead much narrower than the protliorax, closely 

 punctate; antennae (J) moderately long, moderately stout, with joints o-lO 

 triangular, ( 5 ) a little shorter and slender. Protliorax short, arcuately 

 narrowed anteriorly, sparsely, rather coarsely punctured, the punctures showing 

 a tendency to become longitudinally continent on the disc in some specimens. 

 Elytra a little wider than the protliorax, moderately elongate, coarsely, closely 

 punctured, the epipleura long.
