slender, rathei' lonp-. Prothnrax transverse, rounded at the sides. Elytra 

 wider than the, prothorax, arciiately dilated posteriorly. Legs very slender; 

 posterior tibiae bowed towards the apex, simple at tip. 



Length 2 mm. 



Rah. Siiuii Gad, Garhwal, alt. 4000 ft. {H. G. G. : vi.l920). 



One specimen. Smaller and more slender than S. stevensi, the 

 head testaceovis in fi'ont ; the prothorax fusco-trimaculate ; the ely tm 

 duller, with less conspicuous testaceous markings, the triangular spot 

 apical; the legs and antennae very slender and in great part 

 testaceous. H. albocamlatus is another allied form. 



Hypebaeus Jlex7(0sns, n. sp. 



J. Moderately elongate, slendei", very finely pubescent, shining; 

 testaceous, the basal half of the head, joints 5-11 of the antennae, abdomen, 

 and metasternum piceous or black ; the elytra greenish on the disc and at the 

 sides posteriorly, leaving a sinuate, testaceous marginal stripe, which extends 

 forward around the humeri, inward below the base, and reaches the suture at 

 the tip, the apices with an indication of a triangular pallid spot; the head 

 and prothorax and tip of the elytra almost smooth, the rest of the last-named 

 closely, conspicuously punctured. Head (with eyes) about as wide as the pro- 

 thorax ; antennae long, slender, tapering towards the tip, the intermediate 

 joints triangular. Prothorax transverse, rounded at the sides. Elytra 

 moderately long, wider than the prothorax, parallel at the base, explanate from 

 a little before the middle to near the apex, the dilated portion separated from 

 the rest by a rather deep longitudinal groove, which is bordered within by a 

 short carina, the apices simple. Legs long, slender; anterior tarsi o-jointed, 

 simple ; posterior tibiae bowed towards the tip. 



Length 2 mm. 



Hah. W. Bhatkot, in Kumaon, alt. 4000 ft. {H. G. G. : v. 1920). 



One specimen, undoubtedly S > the simple a])iees of the elytra not- 

 withstanding. The S -development is here transferred from the tip to 

 the outer margin. S. sijinicornis and S. clavatus also want the apical 

 excavation. The flexuous elytral markings resemble those of a PTiyllo- 

 treta. H. sulcicauda is perhaps the nearest ally of H.flexuosus. 



Hypehaeics lenis, n. sp. 



c? . Elongate, narrow, slender, shining, very finely pubescent ; testaceous, 

 the head (epistoma excepted), the elytra with the basal margin and a common 

 transverse patch just before the tip, and the under surface in part, black or 

 piceous, tlie intermediate joints of the antennae slightly iufuscate ; the upper 

 surface extremely finely punctulate. Head (with the eyes) slightly wider than
