quotes no species belonging to this division, a species so coloured 
is however evidently peculiar to India and I give here the 
description of it. 
Haplosoma abdominalis n. sp. 
Elongate, testaceous or pale fulvous, abdomen black only, elytra 
rather distinctly and closely punctured, shining. 
G. Abdomen with two fulvous appendages, extending to the 
third segment. 
Length 3 lines. 
Head impunctate, frontal tubercles strongly raised, subquadrate, 
clypeus transversely elevated, antennæ extending to the middle of 
the elytra, fulvous, third joint shorter than the fourth, thorax one 
half broader than long, the sides slightly narrowed and concave 
posteriorly, the surface transversely sulcate, impunctate, elytra 
finely and closely punctured, shining, the shoulders prominent, 
the dise without depressions or costæ, abdomen black, the last 
segment of the male deeply incised at the sides, the median lobe 
flat. 
Hab. Rangoon, also Cashar and Tenasserim. 
The only species, with which the present one can be compared, 
are those in which the underside is black (77. ventralis Baly and 
H. picefemora Ald.) but in these species, the breast is black as 
well as the abdomen and in oneor two others in which the under- 
side is likewise black, the elytra have a longitudinal sulcation 
below the shoulders ; in the present insect, the male organ is long 
and tapering, strongly curved near the base the apex rather sud- 
den]y ending in a rather long and slender point, which is also 
curved upwards; the upper cavity is deep and long, 7. philippi- 
nensis Jac. is another closely allied species, which has the abdo- 
men black, but the penis is of different shape, not having the apex 
produced into a curved and long point, but gradually tapering. 
Haplosoma simplicipennis n. sp. 
Entirely testaceous or flavous, head and thorax impunctate, 
elytra without longitudinal sulci, finely and rather closely punc- 
tured. 
G'. The second abdominal segment with two short appendages. 
Length 3-3 1/2 lines. 
Head impunctate, frontal tubercles strongly raised, transverse, 
carina short, clypeus narrowly oblique, swollen, antennæ exten- 
ding to the middle of the elytra, flavous, the third joint slightly 
shorter than the fourth, thorax of usual shape, the traverse sulca-
