included in the same genus. The anterior femora are incrassate ; the 

 anterior tarsi are apparently 3-jointed (joints 1 and 2 being fused into a 

 one long, claw-like piece, and 3 and 4 connate) ; and the claws of the 

 same feet are unequ^al in length, as in the African Dasytid-genus 

 Pafpirodacfylus Gorh. The lateral vesicles of the body are present, and 

 A. hnmatills is therefore a true Malacliiid.

This genus, if correctly identified hy me, has simple 5-joiniod 

 anterior tarsi, the head without frontal excavation, and the elytra at 

 most feebly excavate at the apex, in S ; the sides of the front not raised 

 above the points of insertion of the antennae, the apical joint of the 

 maxillary ])al])i narrow and fusiform, the prothorax sub>p\adrate, the 

 elytra elongate, and the legs slender.

II ah. Himalaya {type of Pic^, Chamba {ex coll. II. P. Andrewes). 



A 5 taken at Chamba agrees with the description of this species, 

 except in its smaller size, length 3^, instead of 4 mm. A shining, siib- 

 glabrous, rufo-testaceous insect, with the head (except along the anterior 

 margin), a transverse basal fascia on the elytra and a broader one 

 towards the apex (divided at the suture), the posterior femora in part, 

 and the metasternum and abdomen, greenish-black.
