MiMELA HORSFiELDii, Hope (= Anomala vittata, Redtenh. in 



Hiigel's ' Kaschmir,' iv. 2, 525). 



A widely spread sub-Himalayan species. Found also in 



Assam and in the Khasia Hills at 2000 ft. elevation. In N.W. 



India and Kashmir the golden-red stripes are paler and less rich 



in colour than in examples from Darjiling and Assam. 



PopiLiA cupRicoLLis, Newmau. 



A species variable in its metallic colouring, found throughout 

 Northern India. 



PopiLiA CYANEA, Newiuan. 

 Also a widely spread North Indian species. 



Adoretus boops, Wiedmann. 

 Found also in Bengal. 



Adoretus lasiopygus, Burm. 

 Recorded with the following from North India by Burmeister^ 



Adoretus brachypygus, Burm. 



Family DYNASTID^. 

 Heteronychus poropygus, n. sp. 



Closely resembling the African H, licas in the very coarse and confluent 

 punctuation of the pygidium ; oblong, glossy black, beneath piceous. As in 

 H. licas, the frontal tubercles are wanting, there being only a faint trace of 

 fold on each side of the frontal suture ; the transverse rugae and punctures 

 are widely spaced, and the teeth of the clypeus short, but the sides of the 

 clypeus are not strongly sinuated. The thorax is voluminous and smooth, 

 with gently arcuated sides, and destitute of visible punctuation on the 

 surface. The elytra have one sutural and eight discoidal moderately 

 impressed punctured striae, the broad subsutural interstice has an irregular 

 row of very minute punctures, and the 8th and 10th interstices an irregular 

 row of similar punctures towards the apex, and the apical area (which only 

 the sutural stria traverses) is rather sparsely but strongly punctured. The 

 pygidium is strongly convex (especially towards the apex) in the male, 

 slightly and equally convex in the female ; the large punctures, with which 

 it is very unevenly covered, are umbilicated, and towards the apex confluent. 

 Male. Major claw of anterior tarsi broad, curved, spatulate, with an indenta- 

 tion on its outer edge. Long. 15 — 17 millim., <? , ? . 



Found also at Penang. 



Heteronychus annulatus, n sp. 



j Resembles H, arator, but the thorax is relatively larger. Glossy black, 

 ! beneath piceous. Head punctulate-strigulose, front unarmed, clypeal teeth 

 I approximated. Thorax finely and sparsely punctured, disk smooth, sides 

 arcuated. Elytra with a moderately-impressed punctured sutural stria, and 

 four pairs of similar striae, forming eostae, the interspaces between the pairs 

 flat and irregularly punctured, the punctures towards the base of the sub- 

 sutural interspace crowded ; on the others, forming an irregular single line, 

 except towards the apex, where they become more numerous on blending 

 with the densely punctured apical area. All the punctures are distinctly 

 annular. The pygidium is also annulate-punctate, with plane spaces between
