9. Elongate, rather broad, shining, somewhat thickly clothed with erect 

 bristly hairs intermixed with fine scattered pallid pubescence; fiavous, tlio 

 head with an oblique patch on each side behind (the yellow portion extending 

 triangularly backward in the centre), eyes, a broad oblong jiatch on the disc of 

 the protiiorax, scutelluin, two large patches on each elytron — one basal, some- 

 what rounded, the other broader, transverse, subapical, neither reaching the 

 euture nor outer margin, — the abdomen above, and metasternum, black or nigro- 

 piceous, the legs and antennae testaceous, the latter with the tips of the outer 

 joints slightly infuscate ; the entire upper surface sparsely punctulale. Ileud 

 broad, narrower than the prothorax, flattened anteriorly, the clypeus and eyes 

 both prominent ; antennae rather short, joints 5 and G sharply triangular, 7-11 

 each produced into a rather long tooth. J'rothorax transverse, convex, rounded 

 at the sides, narrowed behind, the margins hollowed towards the base. b]lytra

 the tip. Legs hairy ; posterior tibiae scarcely curved. 



Length 3^ mm. 



Ilab. Chitral (E. Hill, in Mus. Brit.). 



One 2 , received in 1910. Broader and larger than II. ni(jro- 

 flacjiatus, the txpper surface setose, the ])rotliorax vittate down the 

 middle, and the elytra each Avitli two largo blackish patches, the outer 

 joints of the antennae shar])ly dentate. The d probably has these 

 organs pectinate. 



Ebaeus Er. 



Ehaeus sqiiamifer, n. sp. 



cJ. Moderately elongate, much widened posteriorly, shining, clotlied with 

 cinereous pubescence abundantly intermixed with long, erect, blackish hairs, 

 which are also conspicuous on the tibiae, the apices of the elytra closely set 

 Avith very small, oval, golden scales ; green or bluish-green, the head and pro- 

 thorax somewhat brassy, the antennae (the testaceous lower surface of the 

 basal joints excepted) and legs (the testaceous thickened basal joints of the 

 anterior tarsi excepted) piceous or black ; the head and prothorax very sparsely, 

 finel}', the elytra densely rugulosely punctate. Head nearly as wide as the 

 prothorax, obsoletely bi-impressed anteriorly; antennae long, pectinate from

 the prothorax, and rapidly widened thence to the broadly rounded apex ; the 

 fcUtural region depressed posteriori}', and with a narrow, deep, transverse 

 groove before the tip. Pygidium notched at the apex. Anterior tarsi with 

 joints 1 and 2 stout, 2 nigro-pectiuate and claw-like at the tip, extending over 

 the base of 3 above. 



2 . Antennae serrate ; elytra simple, not squamose towards the tip ; 

 anterior tarsi simple; pvgidium entire.
