The scutellum is scarcely as long as in that species. The elytra 

 are less coarsely punctured and less distinctly undulated. 



The prosternum is narrower between the coxae than in 

 5. sobrinum. The remaining plates of the lower surface are similar 

 to those of that species. 



The antennae are filiform, the third and fourth joints distinctly 

 longer than the rest. 



The legs of both specimens resemble those of the female of 

 S. sobrinum, but are more strongly punctured. 



Strongylium sobrinum, Dohrn. 



A number of specimens of this Himalayan species were col- 

 lected by Mr. Stevens at Dejoo, base of hills, North Lakhimpur, 

 Assam, in June and July, 1910 Another specimen in Mr. Stevens' 

 collection was obtained by Mr. W. K. Webb at Gopaldhara, 

 Rungbong Valley, Darjeeling District. The Museum collection 

 includes specimens collected by Peal in Sibsagar. 



Strongylium cultellatum, Makl. 



Two specimens were collected by Mr. »Stevens at vSilonbari, 

 base of hills, North Lakhimpur, in May and June, rgiT. 



Strongylium westermanni, Makl. 



Mr. Stevens collected a specimen at Dejoo, base of hills, 

 North Lakhimpur, in July, 1910. The Indian Museum has one 

 from Sibsagar. 



Strongylium curvicomis, n. sp. 



(Plate xliv, figs. 18, iSa.) 



Four specimens were collected by Mr. Stevens at Dejoo, base 

 of hills, North Lakhimpur, in June and July, 1910. 



A glossy, olivaceous insect, covered with decumbent yellow- 

 ish-white hairs which are grouped in small patches on the elytra. 

 Length i&o-iy^ mm. 



The head differs structurally from that of C. westermanni only 

 in its more swollen clypeus and larger, rounder and less transverse 

 eyes accompanied by a longer canthus ; it is perhaps a little more 

 coarsely punctured The hairs both upon the head and upon other 

 parts of the body differ from those of C. westermanni in being 

 decumbent and more or less curved. 



The pronotum is a little more coarsely punctured than in 

 C. westermanni, and its anterior marginal rim is not enlarged in the 

 middle as in that species. Its proportions vary from scarcely as 

 broad as long, to a little broader than long. 



The scutellum is triangular as in C. westermanni. 



The elytra are a little more prominent at the shoulders than in 

 C. westermanni; their rows of punctures are much more pro-
