 diaphano, margine late reflexo ; elytris subfuscis, sutura et coslula

Hah. India, N.-W. Darjeeling (A. Gorham). 



Head, body beneath and legs black; the eyes are rather large, 

 the anlennse filiform, ail the joints after the second elongate, about 

 as long as the thorax. The thorax wider than the elytra at their 

 base, ils front margin strongly turned up, less so at the sides; 

 finely carinate, surface very finely coriaceous, the front with two 

 diaphanous arese. Elytra oblong-ovate, the expanded sides and 

 apex widely, the suture and one costate vein very narrowly testa- 

 ceous or bone colour. 



Pyrocœlia oblita n. sp. — Oblongo-ovata, ochracea, haud 

 nitida; prothoracis marginibus elevato-reflexis, disco antice dia- 

 phano, ad basim macula quadrata fusca, elytris longis leviter 

 ampliatis, unicostatis,ad suluram presertim prope basim infuscatis, 

 antennis, pedibus et corpore subtus, abdominis apice excepto,

The head, antennae, body and legs in this species are fuscous, 

 almost black, the abdomen bas three segments beneath and the 

 pygidial oneocliraceous, the propygidial is only margined broadly, 

 and the one before it more narrowly. The antennee are half as long 

 as the body and dislinctly serrate. The thorax bas ils front margin 

 very much reilexed, and Ihere is a double diaphanous space, ils 

 disk is coriaceous, and with an extremely fine carina, a square 

 fuscous patch occupies the centre of the base, leaving the basai 

 margin ochraceous. The elytra widen from the base to beyond the 

 middle; the second vein is costate till wilhin a quarter of the apex; 

 inside the vein near the base, the ochraceous elytra are smeared
