LI8T OF THE COLEOPTERA IN THE COLLECTION OF H. E. AnDREWES EsQ. 



FROM INDIA AND BURMA, 



WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES AND NOTES. 



Familles : Malacodermata — Erotylidse — Endomychidœ 

 By H. S. Ooi'liam F. X. S. etc. 



The présent papergives an accountof the Coleoptera of the Mala- 

 codermatous group, and also of the Familles Erotylidae and Endo- 

 mjchidae of M"" Andrewes Collection from Belgaura in the Bombay 

 Presidency of India, and is in continuation of ray former descrip- 

 tions and list of the Coccinellidae (cf. vol. XXXVIII, p. 200, of the 

 Annales of this Society), and the sarae gênerai remarks will there- 

 fore apply. There are however a certain nuraber of Coleoptera from 

 Burma of a contemporaneous collection formed by G. Q. Corbett 

 Esq. included hère. The insects of this latter country are better 

 known perhaps than of some districts of India owing to the large 

 collections of M. L. Fea and Doherty which hâve lately been 

 studied. The species from Madura, Chamba and Dalhousie were 

 coUected by C. Somers-Smith Esq. The most noticeable feature in 

 this collection is, I think, the occurrence of certain gênera as 

 Danacxa, Ebxus^ Dasyies and several Telephorids of a very 

 Palaearctic appearance. Thèse are generally from Chamba and 

 Dalhousie, and more material of that kind is to be desired to enable 

 us to institute a fair comparison between the cool régions of the 

 Himalayan mountains and Europsean Fauna. I regret that the 

 number of spécimens of some very interesting insects does not 

 enable me to give a fuUer account of them. Thus there are four 

 examples of species either belonging to Atûalus or an allied genus,
