270. Myllocerus kashmirensis, sp. nov. 



Black, with uniform yellowish-grey scaling. 



Head striolate, the eyes widely separated, the forehead much 

 broader than the space between the scrobes. llostrwn about as 

 long as the head, the sides slightly narrowed from the base to the 

 middle, scarcely dilated at the apex, the apical emargiuation 

 shallow and forming an obtuse angle, longitudinally impressed 

 above, with a faint central carina, the lateral carin;e indistinct. 

 Antenna- piceous, elongate ; the funicle with joint 1 longer than 2, 

 and 3 longer than 4. Prothora.v transverse, the sides moderately 

 rounded, broadest at the middle, the basal margin truncate, not 

 broader than the apex, whicli is almost vertically truncate at the 

 sides ; the upper surface with close confluent punctation and short 

 erect setse. Ehjtra truncate at the base, the shoulders roundly 

 rectangular, the sides parallel in the 6 , slightly ampliated behind 

 the middle in the 5 , the striae ratlier deep and tinely punctate,

271. Myllocerus nigrosuturalis, sp. nov. 



Colour black, with metallic green scaling ; the prothorax with 

 a broad black central stripe, more or less dilated in the middle ; 

 the elytra with the suture black from the base to the middle of 

 the declivity, and the intervals 3 and 4 usually more or less 

 denuded of green scales. 



Head slightly convex, the eyes lateral and large, almost as wide 

 as the forehead, the latter broader than the space between the 

 scrobes and with a short central stria. Rostrum rather shorter 

 than the head, evidently dilated at the apex, the apical emar- 

 gination very small and rounded behind; this emargiuation seems 

 to be deeper than it really is owing to the fact that the broad and 

 deep dorsal furrow is continued right up to the apex, being 

 bounded on each side by a narrow carina, but ^^'ithout any central 

 one. Ante^inee piceous, long and slender ; the funicle with pint 1 

 longer than 2, the remainder subequal. Prothorax rather broader 

 than long, the sides rounded, broadest about the middle, the basal 

 margin truncate and not broader than the apex ; the upper surface 

 with coarse punctation more or less concealed by the scaling and 

 with short erect black setae. Ehjtra elongate, subtruncate at the 

 base, the shouldersroundly rectangular, the apices jointly rounded, 

 finely punctato-striate and set with long erect black setse. Legs 

 piceous, the femora with green scaling and each with a small 

 tooth.
