of the elytra in the 6 . First joint of hind tarsus uearlj" twice as

331. Rhaphuina suturalis, sp. n. 



Blade, rather closely covered ^^•ith lead-grey pubescence ; elytra 

 marked with a narrow sutural black band which begins a little 

 behind the scutellum and ends at a variable distance in front of 

 the middle, the slioulders glabrous ; body beneath grey, with the 

 sides of the abdomen and a spot at each side of the meso- and 

 metathorax yellow. Antennae slightly longer than the body in 

 the S J reach to the apical fourth of the elvtra in the $ ; 

 black, covered with grey pubescence. Prothorax oblong-ovate, 

 finely and very densely punctulate. The hind femora extend by 

 about a fourth of their length past the apex of the elytra in the 

 c? , by somewhat less in the 2 • Episterua of metathorax strongly 

 overlapped in front by the sides of the elytra. 



Lenr/th 9-10| ; hre'adtli 2-'2\ mm. 



Hah. Southern India : Nilgiri Hills {H. L. Andreives). 



This species resembles H. trimacidata, Chevr., in its narrow, 

 elongate form, but differs from it in the colour of its pubescence, 

 in the narro\^-er sutural blade band of the elytra, which, moreover, 

 is not widened at each end, and by the presence of yellow spots 

 at the sides of the breast and abdomen. 



832. Eliaphnma trinalba, sp. n. 



Black ; head and prothorax rather closely covered with grey 

 pubescence ; elytra glossy black with three white spots in front, 

 a rather broad bluish-grey transverse band behind the middle, and 

 a similar baud at the apex ; one of the three spots placed at the 

 suture almost immediately behind the scutellum, each of the others 

 placed obliquely transverse on the lateral part of the disc at about 

 one fourth from the base ; bod}" beneath ashy grey, with ^^•hite 

 spots at the sides of the meso- and metathorax and first three 

 abdomiuai segments. Antennae of $ reach to the apical third of 

 the elytra ; tlie joints unarmed, fourth slightly shorter than the 

 fifth and distinctly shorter than the third ; second one-third 

 longer than broad. Prothorax oblong-ovate, narrower at base 

 than in front. Elytra transversely truncate at the apex, feebly 

 dentate at the outer angle?. The hind femora extend by about a 

 fifth of their length past the apex of the elytra in the j , First 

 joint of hind tarsi nearly twice as long as the second and third 

 united. 



Length 7-8; breadth 2 mm. 



Hah. Southern India : Xilgiri Hills (//, L. Andreives). 



This species resembles Demona.r divisus, Chevr,, in colour and 

 markings, but may be readily distinguished from it by its com- 

 pletely unarmed antennae.
