the punctures. Male. Anterior tarsi normally elongated, the major claw 

 bent at a right angle, broad, apex truncated, base with a stout curved tooth, 

 inclined a little outwards; the tarsal joints narrow, concave, fringed with 

 rigid hairs. Long. 12 — 14 millim., (?, $. 



The slender anterior tarsi in the male (not much stouter 

 than in the female) and the broadly toothed major claw, well 

 distinguish this species, independently of the sculpture, from 

 H. arator and allied forms. 



XyLOTRUPES GIDEON, Lifl. 



A well-known and widely-distributed Asiatic and Malayan 

 Dynastid. 



Family CETONIIDiE. 



Rhomborhina opalina, Hope. 

 A common sub-Himalayan species. 



CoRYPHOCERA NiGRiTARSis, Govy d Perchevon. 

 This and the following are well-known North -Indian species. 



CoRYPHOCERA AMCENA, Hope. 



Clinteria confinis, Hope. 



Anatona stillata, Neivm. {= flavoguttata, Burm. sec. Schaum.) 

 According to Burmeister, found at Bombay. The North 

 Indian form, as figured in Hiigel's * Kaschmir,* and with which 

 the Kulu specimens agree, differs considerably in markings from 

 Burmeister's description, and from Bombay examples. They are 

 considered as belonging to one and the same species, by Schaum 

 and other authorities. 



Anatona (Eumimela) pygialis, Kraatz, Deutsch. Ent. Zeitr., 



1881, p. 264. 

 Kraatz gives the Himalaya as the locality of the species. 

 The size he mentions, 5 millim., I conclude must be a lapsus 

 for 10 millim., which is the length of most of the Kulu 

 specimens. 



Chiloloba acuta, Wiedmann. 

 An apparently common and abundant species. Most of the 

 examples I have seen come from Bengal. 



Glycyphana viridi-obscura, Gory dc Perch. 

 Recorded also from Nepaul and Tibet. 



Glycyphana versicolor, Fah. 

 The examples from Kulu seem to be an extreme glossy-black 

 variety of this very variable and widely-distributed species.
