are two remarkablo insects, one having extremely elongate, bristly 

 antennae in the d and the other with peculiarly-formed anterior legs in 

 the same sex. Three additional species are refen-ed to Hedyhiiis Er. 



Sixteeen Indian Malachiids (excluding Carphurus) named by Pic 

 and other writers have not been identified in the collections examined : 

 Malachites caeruleoscutatus Fairm. ; Attains fruhstorferi, divcrsi- 

 pennis, discomacttlatus, apicipennis, annulifer, hanyhaasi, donceeh, 

 kiduensis, and impressifrons, Ehaeus carinatipennis and madrasensis, 

 Lohatomixis cavifrons, and Apalochrus dapressicornis Pic ; Zelotypva 

 liorni Bourg. ; Colotes contaminalus Ab. ; and Zelotypus (Collops) 

 violaceipennis Motsch. Specimens of" Myrmecop>liuHma (Myrmecodes) 

 nietncri Motsch., c? and $ (the 5 of which was redescribed by Abeille 

 de Perrin in Rev. d'Ent. xix, p. 179, 1900;, were captured by Mr. G. 

 Bryant at Kandy, Ceylon, in 1908; Motschulsky's figure of the 6 of 

 this insect is unsatisfactory, the elytra apparently having been drawn 

 from a 5 and the antennae from a J ! Zelotypus Ab., from the same 

 island, has equally remarkable antennae.
