surface, ail the femora armed with. a short tooth, claws bifid. 



Hab. Kanara, S. Bombay. 



Allied to L. Lewisi Baly frora Japan, but smaller and the upper 

 surface clothed with thin pubescence instead of scales, the second 

 joint of the antennse is proportionately long and answers to the 

 structural character inthat respect of Nemolla but both gênera do 

 not seem at présent to be well defined and the characters poihted 

 out by Baly apply to either. 



Nodîua îndîoa n. sp. 



Below black, above greenish-seneous, the antennse and legs 

 fulvous, thorax closely and distinctly punctured, elytra strongly 

 punctate-striate the interstices fînely punctured. 



Fem. Elytra with two or three short latéral costse. 



Length i/i-ô/i line. 



Of more elongate and parallel shape than most of the other 

 species of this genus, the head very finely and sparingly punctu- 

 red with a narrow sulcus above the eyes, mandibles black, palpi 

 fulvous, antennae only extending to the base of the thorax, fulvous, 

 terminal joints transversely widened; thorax more than twice as 

 broad as long, the sides evenly rounded, scarcely narrowed in 

 front, the surface rather closely and strongly punctured, the 

 punctures evenly distributed, posterior margin slightly oblique at 

 thesides with avery short and rounded medial lobe, elytra convex, 

 rounded at the apex, strongly punctate-striate anteriorly, the 

 punctures finer posteriorly but distinct to the apex, legs fulvous. 



Female more strongly and closely punctured on the head and 

 thorax, the elytra with three short latéral costse of which the 

 outer one is the longest. 



B'ab. Beigaum, S. Bombay. 



Closely allied to JV. tricostata Jac. from Sangir of which I only 

 knew the female which has similarly costate elytra, but in that 

 insect the antennse are longer and the thorax is less closely punc- 

 tured also of différent shape, the présent species is much less 

 rounded and convex than any of the others of this genus. 



Nodiua aeneîcollis n. sp. 



Broadly rounded, very convex, black below, thorax closely 

 punctured, obscure cupreous, elytra metallic greenisch, strongly 

 punctate-striate, the punctures distinct to the apex. 



Length 1 line. 



Head finely andremotely punctured, obscure cupreous or aeneotis,
