C'HAEITOVALGUS. 247 



the hind margin is rather strongly curved. The scutelhim is 

 very long and narrow. The front tibia is very slender and armed 

 with five teeth, of which the 1st, 3rd and 5th are sharp, and the 

 2nd and 4th small and blunt, the interval between the 3rd and 4th 

 teeth being long. 



J . In addition to the difference of pattern already described 

 all the tarsi are extremely long in the male. 



5 . The tarsi are much shorter, and in the two posterior pairs 

 the basal joint is as long as the three succeeding joints together. 

 The caudal spine is simply acuminate. 



Length 8 mm. ; breadth 3*5 mm. 



Nepal (Maj.-Gen. Hardwicle). 



Type in the British Museum. 



Only a single pair is known, the originals of the descriptions of 

 both Hope and Burtneister. The first is so fragmentary as hardly 

 to merit the name of desci-iption, and the second was drawn up 

 from information supplied by Westwood. Burmeister was mis- 

 taken in believing the type to be in the Oxford Museum. 



233. Charitovalgus longulus. 



Valgus longulus, Gestro,* Ann. Mus. Genova, (2) x, 1891, p. 855. 



Dark brown, with the legs and a round prominence near each 

 hind angle of the pronotum deep red ; clothed with fine scales, 

 which are deep chocolate-colour, except upon the legs, at the 

 angles of the pronotum, the front margins of the elytra, and the 

 sides of the propygidium, pygidium, sternum and abdomen, where 

 they are buft'-coloured. There is a fine white semicii'cular line 

 crossing the elytra at the middle and curving upwards towards 

 the shoulders. 



The sides of the pronotum are almost straight and gently diverge 

 from the front to the base, which is strongly rounded. The 

 dorsal carinae are sharp and nearly parallel, and terminate abruptly 

 near the middle of the pronotum. There is a pair of sharp 

 tubercles between the carinse and the basal margin, and a shining 

 red area extends from each of these to the hind angle. The 

 scutellum is rather long and acute at the apex. The elt/tra are 

 very flat above and straight at their extremities. The front tibia 

 is short and broad, with the 1st and 3rd teeth sharp, the 2nd and 

 5th broader and blunter, and the 4th obsolete. 



The female is unknown. 



Length 6 mm. ; breadth 3 mm.
