ON THE GENUS HELOTA. 101 



Himalaya, and in the collection of Mr. Neervoort van de 

 Poll by a cf from Bengal and a Q from India orient. 



He lot a longipes, nov. spec. <ƒ. 



Very much like the male of Servillei Hope and agreeing 

 with it in almost every respect, but at once distinguished 

 by its very elongate hindlegs. Moreover the anterior tibiae 

 do not show the small strongly compressed dilatation on 

 the inner margin of the under surface a little before the 

 apex, which is present in the male of Servillei. As to the 

 coloration the black colour at the knees is almost entirely 

 absent and on the thorax it is restricted to the smooth 

 elevation in front of the scutellum. — Length 18 — 19 mm. 



Hab. India bor. and Sikkim. — A male specimen in 

 the collection of Mr. M. Sédillot , and another (that from 

 Sikkim) in the collection of Mr. Neervoort van de Poll. — 

 The female is as yet unknown to me. 



H el o t a F 'air m air e i, nov. spec, (f and Q. 



Also resembling Helota Servillei Hope , but the female 

 has the apices of the elytra conjointly rounded , narrowly 

 truncate at the suture ; the sutural margins have not the 

 slightest trace of a spine at the end , and the last ventral 

 segment is broadly truncate in a rather straight line and 

 faintly depressed at the apex. In the male the elytra are 

 also conjointly but more broadly rounded , and the sutural 

 margins end in a small spine. In the male of Servillei 

 the apex of the elytra is very regularly rounded and the 

 sutural spine rather strong, but in Fairmairei the apical 

 margin of the elytra is faintly waved and the sutural 

 spines are smaller. Moreover the male of Fairmairei has 

 the compressed dilatation at the end of the anterior tibiae , 

 whereas in Servillei this dilatation is much smaller and 

 situated a little before the apex. — Length 16,5 — 20,5 mm.
