The legs especially the front pair are not nearly so long, and 

 indeed do not differ noticeably from Ihose of the feniale. On the 

 punctuation or striation of the elytra I place no reliance, they are 

 in our insect from the Anamalais Hills neatly punctale-striate, 

 the strise being conlinued nearer to the apex, than in one of 

 F. longicornis, which purports to corne from Geylon; the inter- 

 stices are precisely as in that insect nearly smooth, hère and there 

 a minute point being visible. 



The underside présents no characters of any importance. The 

 prosternum is finely wrinkled transversely, its process is ele- 

 vated between the coxse, depressed at the apex and Iruncate. 

 The metasternum and abdomen are black and nearly glabrous, 

 the apical segment being dull with a very short black pubescence, 

 and is scarcely différent from that of the female, and thèse remarks 

 apply to both species. 



Of my spécimens of F. longicornis, two are labelled South India, 

 one being attributed to Dindigul; and one typical female has been 

 compared by me with the type of F. crassa Crotch, and is identical 

 specifically. 



There are two examples of F. Andrewesi. 



Fatua brevicornis n. sp. — Nigra, nitida, capite prothora- 

 ceque sanguineis, hoc subquadrato, disco depressiusculo obsolète 

 canaliculato; elytris subcœruleis; antennis capilis prothoracisque 

 longitudine brevioribus, articulis quarto ad septimum haud lon- 

 gioribus quam lati ; octavo transverso interne acuminato, nono et 

 decimo transversis, ultimo suborbiculari. — Long. 14 millim. Ç. 



Hab. India, Anamalais Hills (Andrewes); 1 ex. Madras, Calcutta, 

 British Mus. 



Of this species I hâve I believe only seen the female. It is distin- 

 guished at once by the shortness of the antennse, which bave the 

 basai and third joints equal in length and only a little longer than 

 broad, while the second, and the fourth to the seventh are bead- 

 shaped, the eighth transverse and acuminately produced within, and 

 with the succeding three joints forming a club. The elytra are 

 exceedingly finely punctate-striate, the Unes of minute points being 

 scarcely visible except under a strong lens, and the interstices 

 hâve still more minute punclures scattered over them, so as to be 

 rather dull. 



Gsenolanguria nilgirensis n. sp. — Nigra, capite prothora- 

 ceque rufis, minute crebre punctatis, hoc subcordato, antennarum 

 articulis tertio ad octavum parum longioribus quam lati, elytris 

 nigris punctato-striatis, punctis haud profunde impressis, lineis 

 abdominalibus nullis. — Long. 7.5-9 millim.
