 at the sides. Elytra broader than the protliorax, widened posteriorly, flattened 

 on the disc, sharply carinate laterally from below the shoulder to near the 

 apex ; the apices produced into a large, posteriorly-truncate, externally smooth 

 and convex, cavernous, ear-like appendage, and with a long, erect, hammer-

One specimen, injured by pinning. Near H. ci/aneonotatus Pic * ; 

 the elytral appendages of 6 testaceous, mvieli larger, cavernous, 

 differently shaped, and furnished with a long, apically-dilated, erect pro- 

 cess on the inner margin ; the posterior femora black at the tip only. 

 H. {Ebaeits) carinatipennis Pic (1905) and H. {Attains) carinatifer 

 Pic (1919) are allied forms.

Pic's description was overlooked by me last 3'ear. The species also 

 occurs in the Kangra Valley. The type of A. carinatifer was from 

 " Indes."

2 . Elongate, much widened posteriorly, shining, finely pubescent ; the 

 antennal joints 5-1], head, scutellum, meso- and metasteruum, legs (the

 broad, 1 elongate. Prothorax transverse, convex, rounded at the sides. 

 Elytra much broader than the prothorax, rapidly widening to the apex,
