Hah. Simla (//. Clnj^pmdalc : v.lOOi)), Falaoii, TTinialava (fi/j^c 

 of Fie). 



A c5" from Simla, from Mr. Andrewes' collection, is probably refer- 

 able to P. rosti. The small excavation at the apex of the S elytra is 

 not mentioned by Pie, The apical joint of the maxillarj' pal})i is small 

 and fusiform, the genus differing in this respect from Ceraplieles. 



PseudocerftpJieles lonffijJeniiis, n. sp. 



$. Elongate, sLiiiiiii;-, very finely, sparsely pubescent; black with n brassy 

 or metallic green lustre, the antennae (the iiifuseate tip of joint 11 excepted), 

 palpi, anterior portion of liead, the sides of the protborax broadly, a sbarply- 

 angulate ante-mediau fascia on the elytra, connected along the suture with an 

 apical patch and extending forward along the outer margin to the base 

 (leaving a large triangular mark at the base, and a more elongate piriform 

 space towards the spex, of the gieenish ground-colour), and the legs (a broad 

 black annulus on the posterior femora excepted) testaceous; the head and pro- 

 thorax very sparsely, minutely punctate, the elytra rugulose and sparsely 

 punctulate. Head transversely bi-impressed in front, about as wide as the 

 prothortix; antennae slender, moderately long, joints 6-10 subtriangular, 

 longer than broad. Prothorax subquadrate, depressed on each side before the 

 base. Elytra very long, at the base subparallel and about as broad as the pro- 

 thorax, gradually widening from the middle onward, rounded at the tip. Legs 

 long ; posterior tibiae bowed inward in iheir outer half. 



T'ar. The metallic green portions of each elytron coalescent, leaving a 

 mesially-widened sutural streak and the outer margin to near the middle 

 testaceous.

Hab. Sunderdhunga Valley, W. Alraora and Ranikhet Divisions of 

 Kumaon, alt. 5000-8000 ft. (11. G. C. : v, vi.1919, vi.l920). 



Three females, varying in the development of the elytral markings. 

 Near P. sujJerbus Pic ; the prothorax broadly vittate down the middle ; 

 the elytra more elongate, and with the metallic portions nearly or quite- 

 coalescent on the disc. Found by beating blossom of Si/nqjlocos cratae- 

 (joides. 



Hedybtus Er. 



Three additional Indian species are referred to this genus, two of 

 whicdi are re])resented by $ 2 only in the material before me. 



Iledi/hlus hipcniciUaius, n. sp. 



o. Elongate, suhparallel-sided, shining, clothed with fine pubescence 

 intermixed with long, scattered, ei'ect or projecting hairs, these latter 

 conspicuous on the tibiae ; black, the iotra-ocular and anterior maigins of the 

 head and the mandibles (except at the tip) flavous, the auteunal joints 1-3 (a
