Haplosonyx indicus n. sp. 
Entirely flavous, thorax very sparingly punctured, sulcate at 
the sides, elytra deeply and irregularly punctured at the base, 
punetate-striate posteriorly, the interstices partly transversely 
wrinkled and finely punctured. 
Length 3-4 lines. 
Head impunctate, with a deep fovea between the eyes, clypeus 
nearly impunctate, its anterior margin straight, antennæ not 
extending to the middle of the elytra, flavous, the second and 
third joints short, equal, the fourth the longest, terminal joints 
shortened; thorax more than twice as broad as long, the 
sides Straight from the base to the middle, slightly rounded 
before the latter, the angles acute, the disc with a deep sulcation 
at the sides which does not extend to the middle and a small fovea 
in front of the scutellum, impressed with a few fine punctures 
only, scutellum triangular, impunctate, elytra with a very shallow 
and ill defined depression below the base, deeply and slightly 
geminate-punctate at the base, the rows becoming single below 
the middle but the punctures rather irregularly placed and often 
quite out of position, the punctuation close at the base, the inter- 
stices at the same place slightly transversely rugose and finely 
punctured at the lower portion; underside and legs flavous. 
ab. Belgaum, Southern Bombay. 
1. indicus belongs to the smaller species of the genus and is 
closely allied to Z. varipes Jac. and 77. inornatus Jac. but differs 
from these and other species in the different sculpturing of the 
elytra which forms very closely approached double rows of deep 
punctures at the base, so that their geminate arrangement is 
somewhat difficult to see, the species differs further in the more 
rugose and finely punctured interstices from any of the other 
forms known, in connection with the comparative small size and 
uniform coloration. Three specimens were obtained. 
KANARELLA n. gen. 
Body elongate, antennæ filiform, long, the second and third 
joints small, equal, thorax subquadrate, narrowed at the base, the 
dise without depression, elytral epipleuræ continued below the 
middle, tibiæ unarmed, the metatarsus of the posterior legs longer 
than the following joints together, claws appendiculate, pros- 
ternum narrow, the anterior coxal cavities open. 
This genus resembles somewhat the South American genus 
Diabrotica in general appearance and will enter Chapuis group 
the Scelidinæ; it has also most structural characters in common
