HAPLOSOMA NILGIRIENSIS sp. n. 



Testaceous, the abdomen black, thorax moderalely deeply sul- 

 cate, impunctate, elytra extremely finely and rather closely punc- 

 tured. 



Mas. The second abdominal segment with two short and flat, 

 testaceous appendages, the last segment jflaltened, carinate. 



Length 6 mill. 



Much smaller than H. ventralis Baly and H. ahdo'mi7ialis Jac. and 

 distinguished by the difîerent structure of the abdomen of the maie ; 

 the head impunctate, the encarpae oblique, strongly raised, divided, 

 eyes very large, antennse with the third joint much shorter than the 

 fourth ; thorax subquadrate, impunctate, the dise transversely sul- 

 cate, elytra minutely punctured. 



Ilah. Nilgiri Hills (June, July) and Anamalais. May, on herbage. 



The maie appendages of the abdomen are much shorter and 

 flatter than in the allied species and the last segment is deeply and 

 subquadrately trilobate with a feeble central ridge, agreeing in that 

 respect with the maie of H. abdominalis. In that species the eyes 

 however are very much smaller and the vertex is strongly convex, 

 the insect is also of much larger size. 



CEROPHYSA ANDREWESI sp. n. 



Fulvous, the terminal joints of the antennse piceous, thorax 

 impunctate, deeply transversely sulcate, fulvous, elytra finely and 

 closely punctured, metallic green or violaceous, under side and 

 legs fulvous. 



Mas. Antennae with the eighth joint strongly widened. 



Length 5 mill. 



Head impunctate, the frontal élévations feebly raised, rather 

 broad, clypeus and carina ridge shaped, penultimate joint ofpalpi 

 dilated, antennse with the lower four offive joints flavous, the rest 

 piceous, basai joint dilated at the apex, second one short and trans- 

 verse, third and fourth joint pyriform, the edges raised, the foUo- 

 wing three joints equal, subquadrate-ovate, the eighth strongly 

 widened, longitudinally concave at the outer side, the terminal 

 two joints elongate; thorax one half broader than long, the sides 

 rounded, the dise impunctate, fulvous, with a deep but short 

 transverse sulcus, not extending to the sides, scutellum dark 

 fulvous, elytra with a short suturai dépression below the base, 

 closely and finely punctured, 



Hab. Nilgiri Hills (Coonor Ghat). May. 2,000 ft. 



Closely allied to C. fulvicoUis Jac. from Birma and like that 

 species having the 8"' joint of the antennae dilated instead of the
