Hah. India, Nilgiri Hills. Bealing at night, 6000 feet (Andrewes, 

 G.-F. Hampson). 



The eyes are coarse as in other Cœnolanguriœ, and there are no 

 post-coxal Unes, otherwise this insect is extremely similar to many 

 other species with red head and îhorax and black bodies. It is most 

 like L. Beccarii Har. but as that species is described as having 

 parallel post-coxal lines, and as it is from New Guinea it may be 

 dismissed ; comparing the présent insect with a type of the latter 

 in my possession, the antennse hâve their intermediate joints a 

 trifle longer; Ihey are bead-shaped in L. Beccarii, their club is 

 noticeably longer and more lax. The thorax is longer and not so 

 convex; it is narrower at the base than in front, the widest part is 

 a third from the front angles. The scutellum is often piceous. The 

 legs are quite black, the front and middle coxœ are more or less 

 red; the apex of the elytra is quite simple. 



It may be noticed that the great proportion of species with whlch 

 it might be thought possible to connect this insect, are described 

 from New Guinea or the Moluccas or Ceylon, also that we may at 

 once eliminate ail those as L. Beccarii, L. propinqua Gr. and others 

 which having parallel post-coxal lines corne into Anadastus. 

 C. assamensis Fowler bas blue or black elytra, but is a much 

 larger insect and bas a broader more connate club to the antennse. 



M^ H.-L. Andrewes sent a considérable séries of spécimens of this 

 species; one spécimen which is only 5 millimètres in length might 

 possibly represent another species, having ail the coxae and 

 trochanters red, and the antennœ with their fourth to eighth joints 

 apparently shorter, but I hardly think it does so, being from the 

 same locality. 



Spécimens are also in the British Muséum collected by Sir 

 G.-F. Hampson.
