and generally darker legs. The scutellum in the example I sup- 

 pose to be the female, is yellowish and the elytra costate just as in 

 H. Andrercesi, and the fact that thèse two insects difFer much in 

 the same way confirais the hypothesis that they are respectively 

 sexes of one species in each case. 



55. Dodecatoma bicolor Westw., loc, cit. 

 India, Belgaum, Deccan. 



Of this insect which is very rare in collections there is a seriesx 

 captured by M' H.E. André wes at Belgaum agreeing in every way 

 with the very excellent plate in Guërins Iconographie. 



The yellow pectinate antennaB of twelve joints, and the short 

 and attenuated elytra with costas (shewing aflSnity with those of 

 Dioptomà), are very noticeable. 



56. Dodecatoma fuscicornis n. sp. — Fulva, capite nigro, 

 antennis fuscis ^ articulo hasali et interdum apicali rufescentihis, 

 palpis et mandibulis piceis, elylris nigris^ nersus apicem atte- 

 nuatis bicostatis et punctulatis abdomine ad apicem fuscescente. 

 — Long. 7.5 millim. 



Hab. Indu, Belgaum (Andrewes). 



Head black, shining, clothed with fine shining hairs, with a flat 

 impression on the crown, paipi, mandibles and antennae fuscous, 

 the latter brownish internally, and sometimes the apical joint is 

 fulvous except on the outside. The rami are about as long as two 

 joints taken together. 



The thorax is pubescent with erect fulvous hairs, distinctly 

 punctulate, and with a short obsolète central channel; the elytra 

 are entirely black, only the extrême tip of the shoulders brownish 

 rather shining but pubescent, with two costse on each, the second 

 runniiig nearly to the apex, coriaceously punctate ; underside and 

 legs yellow, the tip of the abdomen blackish. 



This is very similar in build to D. bicolor^ diiFering principally 

 in colour, 



Several examples. « Taken from February to May, generally 

 flying to light in the evening ». 



57. Eugeusis palpator Westw., loc. cit., t. 12, fîg. 5. 

 India, Kanara (Bell), Bengal, Ceylon. 



This extraordinary insect bears a rather close gênerai resem- 

 blance to Selasia decipiens, but the enormously developed apical 

 joints of the maxillary and labial palpi remove it from anything 

 else known to me; I obtained a long séries among some Indian 

 insects but with no more précise locality than Bengal. The elytra 

 vary very considerably in the amount of the yellow; some examples
