" intergenal groove" on the under side of the head, which Mr. Gahan first 

 pointed out, and the shape of which serves to distinguish N. indutus and 

 N. similis. The groove is here much widened, and forms a straight trans- 

 verse, rather shallow depression. The prosternal process is also different, 

 being arcuated to the tip, and the latter not projecting, as in the above- 

 mentioned species. The outer apex of the elytra is obtusely angulated, not 

 dentate. Long. 25 millim. 



Ephies sulcipennis, n. sp. 

 Very near the Siimatran E. dilaticornis, but the elytra in the same sex 

 (female) narrow, with straight sides, except near the apex, where they are 

 very slightly dilated. Body beneath and legs brilliant steel-blue. Thorax 

 and elytra red, the latter black at the apex for about one-sixth the length ; 

 head and antennae strongly depressed, basal margin of the thorax and the 

 scutelluni black. Antennae not reaching the middle of the body, joints 3 to 9 

 broad, dilated on their inner sides and serrated ; elytra each with three well- 

 marked longitudinal furrows, the interstices between the 1st and 2nd and 

 2nd and 3rd convex. Coxae and underside of anterior femora with fine silky- 

 grey pubescence. Long. 16 millim. 



One example. 



EURYCEPHALUS LUNDI, Fob. 



Found also in Assam and Penang. 



PURPURICENUS ? 



A single mutilated specimen. 



Aphrodisium hardwickianum, White. 



Family LAMIID^. 

 Epicedia maculatrix, Perty. 

 A single example, agreeing well with others from Java and 

 Borneo, with which I have compared it. 



Epepeotes luscus, Fah. 

 A widely-distributed sj^ecies in South-eastern Asia and its 

 islands. It is curious that the Kulu example resembles in its 

 markings specimens from Borneo more closely than it does 

 others from continental Asia, viz., Tenasserim and Perak, which 

 I have had at hand for comparison. 



Batocera adelpha, Thomson. 

 A species known at present only from Northern India. 



Apriona cinerea, Chevolat. 



Ocheutes spinicollis, n. sp. 



Of rather shorter and more cylindrical from than Niphona picticomis ; 

 obsciire brown, with two ashy-grey lateral spots or fasciae on each elytron, 

 one broader before, the other narrower behind, the middle, and neither 

 reaching the suture ; bases of antennal joints grey. The thorax is convex, 

 and very coarsely and irregularly rugose on the disk, the sides or flanks with
