V. NOTES ON CRYPTOSTOME BEETLES. 



By S. Maulik, Professor of Zoology, Calcutta University. 



I published two papers on the Cryptostonae beetles of the 

 Indian Museum in this Journalj (i) in Vol. IX^ Part II, June 1913, 

 page 105, and (2) in Vol. XI, Part V, September 1915, page 367. In 

 July, 1919, I published in the Fauna of British India series a com- 

 plete review of the Cryptostome beetles of India, Burma and 

 Ceylon, so far as they were known up to that date. In this work 

 the results of my study of the material of these groups sent to me 

 from the Indian Museum were incorporated. It will therefore be 

 unnecessary to report separately on that collection. I shall, how- 

 ever, give here a list of tj'pes and cotypes of Hispinae and Cassi- 

 dinae deposited in the Indian Museum. 



The following is the list : —

Dui-ing the European war (1914-1919) I was unable to commu- 

 nicate with workers on these groups except Dr. R. Gestro of the 

 Genoa Museum. But since the publication of my book I have 

 been in correspondence with Dr. F. Spaeth. As a result I find it 

 is necessary to publish certain notes on the Cassidinae. 



Dr. Spaeth informs me that Hoplionota modesta, Wagener, is 

 found onh' in the Philippine Islands. The author, wrongly re-
