Shining, head and thorax almost impunetate, the former with 

 three shallow impressions between the eyes, the middle one often 

 obsolète; tips of the mandibles pitchy, the large black basai spot 

 has its apex about level with the eyes. Antennae of moderato 

 length, not so long as the body, with two joints at the base entirely, 

 and the third partly yellow. Thorax squarish, glabrous, scarcely 

 wider than the head with the eyes, two black spots a iittle in front 

 of the middle of the disk. The elytra are deep black shining, but 

 rugose; with fine, obsolète, but distinct costae, often yellowish at 

 the base near the scutellum; the scutellum is black but covered 

 with grey shining close pubescence, as well as the sterna, and the 

 elytral epipleurae. Legs quite yellow, with fuscous tarsi. The 

 abdomen is fuscous with the latéral and apical margins of the 

 segments yellow. Six spécimens.

Hab. India, Belgaum, Poona. 



Head and thorax, ochre-red, shining, the latter transverse, 

 hind angles eut ofif obliquely ; there is a plica from the disk to the 

 margin a Iittle at the hind angle ; scutellum and base of the elytra 

 yellow, but not so bright as the thorax, the yellow colour 

 proceeds further down the margins and suture, but fades ofF into 

 the fuscous shade quite imperceptibly. Elytra only becoming coria- 

 ceous towards their tips, underside yellow, the epimera someti- 

 mes greyish. The antennae are longer in the raale, in this sex the 

 fourth joint is about twice as long as the second, and the whole is 

 not quite so long as the whole insect. In the feraale the same joints 

 are not more than two thirds of their length in the maie, and stou- 

 ter hence appearing more serrate. The extrême base of their first 

 joint is yellow. I hâve re lescribed this species, as there are now 

 five spécimens before me.

 Hab. India, Dibru; Birma, Tharrawaddy. 



The genus Lycocerus was proposed by me [loco citato, p. 108) 

 for five species of Telephorid beetles from N. E. India, and one 

 from China {L. militaris) ; the latter has been identified by Fair- 

 maire with his Telephorus pluficostatiis. 



A. single spécimen. 



69. Ichthyurus Westwood. 



Two species from Belgaum, are each represented by a single 

 female example. « Taken in May and June ».
