deeply punctured, the médian lobe bilobate to receive the base of 

 the scutellum, the latter twice as broad as long, elytra darker 

 brown, slightlj constricted at the middle, the suture ânely dentate 

 throughout, the surface scul()tured like the thorax with the 

 following, partly ill defined tubercles,one on the shoulders, another 

 at the middle of the basai margin, one below the scutellum near 

 the suture, a narrow oblique raised space at the middle bounded 

 at each end by a tubercle, two at the sides below the middle and 

 three large conical tubercles near the apex, pygidium deeply 

 punctured with some small darkish spots, entire underside punc- 

 tured in the same way, the feraora with a small piceous spot, 

 prosternum very narrow between, the coxae greatly widened 

 anteriorly, claws appendiculate. 



Hab. Kanara, S. Bombay. 



This species does not raaterially differ from many of its Ame- 

 rican congeners and might perhaps be equally well placed in Exema 

 on account of the dilated six terminal joints of the antennae, the 

 thorax and its sculpturing is however quite characteristic of 

 Clilamys. The species is not unlike G. japonica Jac. from Japan 

 but is much more deeply sculptured and the thorax is of différent 

 structure. Several spécimens obtained by beating in february. 



EUMOLPID^. 

 Leprotes kanaraensis n. sp. 



Black, fînely pubescent, head and thorax finely rugose, elytra 

 strongly and closely semipuQctate-striate, femora dentate. 



Length 3 Unes. 



Of subquadrate shape, the head rugose-punctate, with a central 

 longitudinal groove, the epistome not separated from the face, 

 sculptured like the head, but the punctures fîner, its anterior 

 edge nearly straight, antennae extending to the base of the elytra, 

 black, the terminal joints thickened, but longer than broad, the 

 lower three joints fulvous, the second joint eiongate, as long as 

 the third; thorax one half broader than long, the sides moderately 

 rounded, without distinct latéral margin, the surface finely 

 rugose punctate throughout, with a more or less distinct central 

 raised smooth line, sparingly covered with very short hairs, 

 scutellum broad, subpentagonal, with some punctures, elytra 

 much broader than the thorax, much more strongly punctured 

 than the latter, the punctures somewhat arranged in very closely 

 approached rows, the interstices clothed with short and thin 

 yellowish pubescence which scarcely affects the gloss of the
