posteriorly, irregularly punctured, their epipleuræ broad, not 
furnished with hairs, legs rather slender, tibiæ dilated towards 
the apex, not chanelled, the first joint of the posterior tarsi slightly 
longer than the following one, claws simple, prosternum narrow, 
elongate, mesosternum of somewhat similar shape, slightly raised 
posteriorly, metasternum scarcely longer than the prosternum, 
anterior coxal cavities closed. 
The species for which I propose this genus resembles in its 
general shape and appearance certain Malayan forms of PAyllo- 
charis or Lamprolina ; the closed cavities and simple claws would 
place the genus near Z'nfomoscelis and Potaninia, but the entirely 
different shape of the prosternum and mesosternum, the irregularly 
punctured elytra and want of wings prevent it of being included 
in that group. 
Pseudolina indica n. sp. 
Entirely metallic greenish or brownish æneous, the head finely 
punctured at the vertex, the eyes slightly kidneyshaped, the 
clypeus separated from the face, by a deep transverse groove, 
narrowly transverse, with a few fine punctures, antennæ nearly 
extending to the middle of the elytra in the male, black, the basal 
two joints more or less stained with fulvous, the first short and 
thick, scarcely longer than broad, the second one short, the third 
about one half longer than the fourth joint and as long as the fifth, 
thorax twice as broad as long, the sides nearly straight, not 
thickened, very slightly narrowed at the base, the posterior 
angles pointed, the anterior ones obtusely rounded, posterior 
margin straight, not marginate, the disc rather convex, finely, 
irregularly and rather closely punctured, scutellum narrowly 
transverse, its apex pointed, elytra widened at the middle, 
strongly pointed towards the apex, finely and irregularly punctured, 
the interstices here and there aciculate, prosternum finely rugose; 
the penis is very short and broad, of equal width. deeply chanelled 
at the undersurface, the apex furnished with a few bristles.

EnTomosceuis (Potaninia) ASSAMENSIS Baly. 
Specimens of this species, described by Weise as Polaninia 
polita, 1 possess from different parts of India and China; the 
species was originally described by Baly as Z. assamensis from 
Assam but differs sufficiently from Z'ntomoscelis I think, to justify 
its separation generically, but the name polita must sink as a 
synonym.
