rather small. The tarsi are long, and the basal joint of the hiud 

 tarsus is twice as long as the second. 



Lenrjth 5'5-6 mm. ; breadth 3 mm. 



Punjab : Kulii. 



Ti/pe in the Paris Museum. 



I have seen five specimens, of which only one (kindly presented 

 to the British Museum by Baron Paul de Moffarts) is well pre- 

 served and has a precise locality. All are apparently males. 

 Another example is in the Oxford Museum. 



229. Dasjrvalgus inininms, sp. n. 



Very deep brown, approaching black, with the clypeus, legs 

 and lower surface of the body reddish, clothed above and beneath 

 with pale ochreous scales, \\hich are very densely packed upon the 

 propygidium and pygidium, moderately closely upon the lower 

 surface, and rather evenly, but not closely, distributed upon the 

 head and pronorum. The elytra bear longitudinal rows of scales, 

 separated by the striaj, those adjoining the suture being broad 

 and close and spreading outwards a little at the front and hind 

 borders. 



The body is elousate and rather parallel-sided, and the legs are 

 not very long. The sides of the irrothorax are nearly straight, 

 feebly curved and very slightly contracted in front, with the hind 

 angles rather blunt. The dorsal carinre are strong, parallel, and 

 very prominent in front, and end in slight tubercles near the 

 middle of the disc. The scutellum is rather narrow and acute, and 

 the elytra bear minute tufts of setje at the shoulders and are 

 separately rounded at the hind margins. The propygidium is 

 broad and prominent, with two strong tubercles at its hinder 

 margin, but with the terminal spiracles scarcely elevated. The 

 front iihia is rather broad, and armed with five prominent and 

 nearly equidistant teeth, the 1st and 3rd very long. The tarsi 

 are moderately long, with the basal joint of the hind foot nearly 

 twice the length of the second. 



I have found no sexual difference in a good series of specimens. 



Length 4-5 mm. ; breadth 2 mm. 



Burma : Ruby Mines, .^oOO-ToOO ft., Karen Hills {Doherty). 



Type in the British Museum. 



This is the smallest known Indian Cetoniid beetle. It is closely 

 related to DasyvaJgus penicillatus, but in addition to its smaller 

 size, is more elongate, with the sides of the prothorax less rounded 

 in front and the terminal spiracles scarcely prominent.

Valgus addendus, Walker* Ann. Nat. Hist. (3) iii, 1859, p. 50. 



Testaceous red, clothed with yellowish scales which are ratlier 

 dense on the lower surface, the propygidium, and pygidium, ratlier 

 scattered on the pronotum and arranged in rows on the elytra,
