130 NEW SPECIES OF INDIAN PHYTOPHAGA 



HAPLOSONYX DUVIVIERI n. sp. 



Fulvous, the antennae and legs black; thorax deeply blFoveolate, 

 nearly impunctate, elytra strongly punctured In closely approached 

 semi-regular rows. 



Length 10 mill. 



H. Duvivieri agrees in its general system of coloration with 

 several of its congeners notably with H. rufipennis Duviv. but may 

 be known by the fulvous underside and the different sculpturing 

 of the elytra these have not ten rows of deep punctures only 

 but are strongly, closely and nearly regularly punctured throughout 

 in which character the species differs from most of its allies ; the 

 thorax has only a few punctures placed within the lateral foveas, 

 the elytral depression below the base is but feebly marked, but 

 there is a rather broad deffexed margin at the sides and the fulvous 

 surface has a slight rhetallic lustre ; the entirely black antennae 

 and legs distinguish the species further from several others of 

 nearly similar coloration ; H. sumatrce Web. has very finely punc- 

 tured elytra. 



Hah. Khasla Hills. (Collection M"* Andrewes and my own.) 



LUPEROGELLA n. g. 



Elongate, pubescent, antennae filiform, palpi slender, thorax 

 subquadrate, biimpressed, elytra wider than the thorax, finely 

 rugose, their epipleurag distinct, continued below the middle, legs 

 slender, the tibiae unarmed, non sulcate, the first joint of the pos- 

 terior tarsi as long as the following two joints together, claws bifid, 

 prosternum extremely narrow, the anterior coxal cavities open. 



This genus will enter the group of Coelomerince and seems closely 

 allied to Mo7ioscestoides Duviv. in regard to structural characters, 

 but the general shape is that of a species of Luperus, the thorax is 

 not transverse and the tibiae are not chanelled ; only a single spe- 

 cies is kwown to me. 



LUPEROGELLA HIRSUTA n. sp. 



Dark aenecous, the femora and the tibiae testaceous, the 

 antennae, knees and the tarsi black, above finely pubescent and 

 rugose. 



Length 6 mill. 



Head finely rugose, dark aeneous, frontal elevations obsolete, 

 clypeus transverse, its anterior edge straight, eyes round, entire,
