TRIOCLIONA INDIGA n. sp. 



Dark fulvous or piceous, apical joints of the antennae black, 

 thorax finely and subremotely punctured, elytra strongly punctate- 

 striate, the interstices at the sides subcostate. 



Length 3-4 mill. 



Head finely and sparingly punctured, the epistome broad, dis- 

 tinctly separated from the face, punctured like the head, labrum 

 fulvous, eyes very large, antennas black, the lower four joints fla- 

 vous or fulvous, the second and third joints thickened, equal, the 

 fourth more elongate and slender; thorax twice as broad as long, 

 the sides rounded, the angles distinct, the surface finely and sub- 

 remotely punctured ; elytra strongly and regularly punctate-striate, 

 feebly depressed below the base, the punctures stronger at the 

 sides and within the depression than near the suture, the apex 

 more finely punctures, the interstices at the sides slightly costate; 

 femora robust, the anterior ones strongly, the posterior ones more

Hab. Mandar, Bengal. 



Closely allied to T. pimcticeps Duviv. but not fulvous but entirely 

 piceous in coloration and the thorax muoh more jfinely punctured ; 

 T. melanura Lefev. is black above with seneous gloss, the clypeus 

 is rugose and the interstices are flat. The present insect varies much 

 in size, the larger specimens belong probably to the female sex. 

 T. picea Jac. likewise from Bengal is also closely allied, but the 

 thorax is broader, the sides are still more rounded and the punc- 

 tuation of the same part is much stronger.

Length 5 mill. 



Head with a few fine punctures, longitudinally grooved between 

 the eyes, the clypeus indistinctly separated from the face, punctu- 

 red like the head, antennae fulvous, the third and following joints 

 elongate and slender, the apical ones broken off, thorax twice as 

 broad as long, the sides rounded, the surface impunctate or with a 

 few very minute punctures, the extreme basal margin impressed 

 yv^ith a row of deeper punctures, scutellum broader than long, 

 elytra not depressed below the base, strongly punctured, the punc-
