 towards the apex, the apices not produced.

 Seven § $. Larger than H. tricjuitatus Champ. (1921), type $, 

 from the N. W. HimaWa, tlie black markings on the elytra more 

 extended, the posterior tibiae less bowed. The Himalayan Attains 

 kuluensis Pic (1910) seems to be somewhat similarly coloured. The 

 closely punctm-ed el^'tra, darker legs, and mucli larger size sej^arate 

 II. nainiensis from the $ of II. sjiinicornis. 



Hypehaeiis stevensi, n. sp. 



J. Moderately elongate, much widened posteriorh', shining, very finely 

 pubescent ; black, the prothorax reddish-yellow, the elytra with an oulwardl}'- 

 wadened transverse fascia beh)w the base (not reaching the suture), and a 

 common triangular sutural patch before the apex, white; the basal joints of 

 the antennae, the knees, tarsi, and apices of the tibiae testaceous, the rest of 

 the antennae infuscate ; the head and prothorax almost sniDoth, the elytra 

 closely, extremely finely punctate. Head (as seen extended) rhomboidal, 

 narrower than the prothorax, broadly subtritmgularly depressed in the middle 

 anteriorly ; antennae long, slender. I'rothorax nearly as long as broad, rounded 

 at the sides, strongly narrowed towards the base and apex. Eiytia elongate- 

 subtriangular, much wider at the base than the prothorax ; the apices simply 

 transversely excavate. Legs very slender ; posterior tibiae bowed inward 

 towards the apex and produced into a short spur at the tip. 



Length 2\ mm.

One specimen, certainly 6 ■ Amongst the numerous allied Hima- 

 layan forms described by me in the last volume of this Magazine, 

 II. stevensi is perhaps nearest related to II. quaJrisif/natus. (op. cit. 

 p. 105) which has very different elytral markings. 



Hi/pehaeus sujfasus, n. sp. 



$ . Moderately elongate, slender, much widened posteriorly, the head and 

 prothorax shining, the elytra dull, very finely pubescent ; testaceous, the head 

 at the base, the antennae in their outer half, a divided median vitta on the 

 prothorax and a triangular jjatch on each side of it (these markings confluent 

 in front), the elytra (an outwardly-widened transverse mark on eacji side 

 below the base and a common triangular mark at the tip excepted), the under 

 surface in great part, and the posterior femora in their basal half, piceous or 

 black ; the head and prothorax almost smooth, tlie elytra excessively minutely, 

 closely punctate. Head (with eyes) about as wide as the prothorax ; antennae
