base of Dawna Hills ; and Tavoy) ; and from Cochin (Parambiku- 

 1am, ca. 1700 ft.). Specimens were found in all stages under the 

 bark of a fallen tree-trunk at the last-named locality (see Rec. 

 Ind. Mus. XI, p. 363, 1915). 



Menephilus aborensis, n. sp. 

 (Plate xliii, fig. 9.) 



Rotung, Abor Country, 1400 ft., 23-xii-ii; three specimens 

 from rotten wood. 



A black, slender beetle not unlike M. medius, Mars., but much 

 smaller. Length lo-ri mm. 



The head is somewhat longer in front of the eyes than in 

 M. medius, and is punctured all over; otherwise it is very similar. 



The pronotum resembles that of M. medius in form, but is 

 punctured all over like the head. The striae of the elytra are 

 somewhat deeper than in that species. 



The lower surface of the body differs from that of M. medius 

 only in being somewhat more strongly punctured. 



The antennae are slightly shorter and stouter than in M. medius. 



The tibiae of all the legs are practically straight. 



Toxicum assamense, Pic. 



(Plate xliv, figs. 10, 10a.) 



This species was first described ^ from Assam. Gebien has 

 it from "Sikkim". We have it from the Dafla Hills (Dikrang 

 Valley); Assam (Sibsagar and Sadiya); the Abor Country (Janak- 

 mukh, 600 ft., i8-xii-ii ; above Pangi, 4000 ft., i6-i-i2 ; Yembung, 

 iioo ft., i4-i-i2 ; below Dosing, 1400 ft., 29-i-i2 ; Rotung, 1400 ft., 

 28-xii-ii — under bark and in rotten wood), and the Chinese frontier 

 of North East Burma (Sansi Gorge, 6000-8000 ft.) ; and there are 

 specimens in the Pusa collection from the Khasi Hills (1000-3000 

 ft.) and the Bengal Duars (Buxa). The description is not a satis- 

 fying one and is not accompanied by figures. Gebien has, however, 

 examined the type, and assures me that the specimens referred to 

 above are correctly named. I therefore take this opportunity of 

 figuring the species. 



Anthracias fairmairei, Gebien. 



Mr. Kemp found this species under bark at Rotung, Abor 

 Country, 1400 ft., 28-xii-ii. It is represented in Gebien's collec- 

 tion by specimens from Batavia and from North Borneo. 



Anthracias punctipcnnis, n. sp. 



(Plate xliv, figs. 11, iia.) 



Abor Country (Rotung, 1400 ft., 28-29-xii-ii ; above Pangi, 

 4000 ft., i6-i-i2). Numerous specimens found under bark.
