 which is longest on the sides of the thorax and abdomen. Head 

 immaculate ; face finely punctate and centrally subglabrous, as

SiKKiM {Goh- G. T. Blnglmni). 



Type. Location unknown, 



I have not seen this species, of which Cameron (J. c.) says : 

 '• The abdomen is longer and thiinier than usual ; as compared 

 with E. indipennia, Cam., from JSiuda, apart from the marked 

 difference in the colouration of the legs, that species may be 

 known by the first abdominal segment beiug longer than the 

 second. In E. latianmdata. Cam., from Sikkim, the first abdominal 

 segment is as long as the secoiid, the abdomen is stout, not elon- 

 gated, and the legs are rufous, the four hinder tarsi black, the 

 hind tibia; black, broadly white above." It may be the $ of 

 E. tinctipenids, though femoral coloration is usually constant in 

 this genus. 



127. Ephialtes latianimlatus, (Jam. 



Epliialtes laliannulatus, Cameron, Tijds. Eiit. 1907, p. 9G ($). 



5 . A black species, with onl}^ the pronotum pale, and the terebra
