XII. COLEOPTERA, IV: LAMELLICORNIA. 



By G. J. Arrow, F.E.S. 



The Lamellicornia consist of only 28 species, man}^ of them 

 represented onh' by single specimens. Nearly half the species are 

 very widespread and familiar Indian insects and the complete 

 absence of any representative of the Rutelinae, including such 

 ubiquitous genera as Anomala and Adoretiis, is probably acci- 

 dental. Three species are here described as new, all of them 

 being already represented in the British Museum collection. 



CETONIINAE. 

 I. Trigonophorus nepalensis, Hope. 

 Rotung, 1400 ft., 23-xii-i9ir {Kemp). One male specimen. 



2. Macronota nigricollis, Jans. 



Upper Renging, 2150 ft., 4-11-1912. One specimen was 

 found under rotten wood by Mr. Kemp. 



3. Glycyphana nepalensis, Kraatz. 



Rotung, 1400 ft., 23-xii-i9ri. One specimen was found by 

 Mr. Kemp in rotten wood. 



G. minima, Bates, although closely related, is not the same 

 as G. nepalensis, Kr. , but, as I have found by examination of the 

 type in M. Oberthiir's collection, is a form occurring in Java, 

 Borneo and the Malay Peninsula It seems to me doubtful 

 whether it really occurs, as supposed, in the Punjab and for this 

 reason it was omitted from my volume in the ''Fauna of India " 

 series. Another insect, Melolontha argus, Burm. , recorded by 

 Bates from the same locality, I believe to be purelj- Malayan and 

 I am therefore inclined to believe that a few Malayan specimens 

 were accidentally mingled with the Indian collection described by 

 him. 



4. Protaetia inanis, Wall. 



Rotung, 1400 ft., 23-xii-i9ii. One specimen found with the 

 preceding. This is of the usual copper-coloured Indian 

 race (var. cuprea). 



5. Protaetia fusca, Herbst. 

 Rotung, 1400 ft., 2-i-i9i2. A single example.
