H7 



Weise gives as the type, although in that species the shoulders are 

 hairy.Probably Weise had another species before him which be mis- 

 took for A. similis. 



I give hère the description of another Indian species contained 

 in my collection for which Weise would probabiy propose another 

 genus; at this rate it will be necessary to establish gênera on 

 nearly every exotic species of which the maies difïer in some 

 way or other from the other sex; I prefer to arrange them in 

 groups if suffîcient similarly slructared species can be found. 

 The limits between gênera established on slight and variable 

 characters become more and more obsolète, the greater the material 

 is, which accumulâtes and burdens the memory of the student with 

 unnecessary names. 



ORTHAULAGA LIMBATIPENNIS sp. n. 



Fulvous, the abdomen black, elytrafinely and closely punctured, 

 black, the sides and the apical margins fulvous. 



Mas. The basai joint of the antennse strongly thickened and wide- 

 ned, the thorax with a deep excavation, bituberculate behind, last 

 abdominal segment with the médian lobe longer than broad, 

 slightly sulcate. 



Length 7 mill. 



Head impunctate, fulvous, antennse with the basai joint subqua- 

 drately thickened, with a shallow fovea below, the lower eight 

 joints fulvous, the rest wanting; thorax subquadrale, impunctate, 

 fulvous, very shining, the dise deeply excavated, the posterior 

 margin of the excavation raised into a blunt tooth at each side, 

 scutellum fulvous, elytra black, the fine punctuation invisible near 

 the apex, the sides, not very broadly fulvous, this colour extending 

 round the apex and to a small extend up the suture, below and the 

 legs fulvous, the abdomen black, ail the tibise with a small spine. 



Hab. Calcutta (my collection). 



I only know a single maie spécimen of this species which is allied 

 to A. excavata Baly likewise from India but differs in the extremely 

 deeply excavate thorax, the swoilen basai joint of the antennae and 

 the colour of the elytra. 



LUPERUS ANDREWESI sp. n. 



Pale testaceous, the anlennae, tibiae and tarsi black, thorax sub- 

 quadrale, rounded, entirely impunctate, elytra extremely finely and 

 rather closely punctured.
