than long, narrowed at the base, the disc deeply bifoveolate, 
impunctate, elytra very finely and closely punctured.

This species can only be separated from À. pallida by its smaller 
size and the different structure of the antennæ, all the joints of 
the latter are, with the exception of the last two, robust and 
somewhat widened while the terminal ones are slender and 
tapering; in À. pallida the joints are cylindrical, also much less 
elongate and shorter. 
Aenidea modesta n. sp. 
Pale testaceous or flavous, thorax transversely biimipressed, 
impunctate, elytra finely and closely punctured. 
&. Head simple, the antennæ as long as the elytra, robust at 
the intermediate joints. 
Length 2 lines. 
Again of similar colour and shape than the preceding species, 
but the head not excavated,the space between the antennæ raised, 
the clypeus deflexed, the eyes very large, palpi robust, antennæ 
extending to the apex of the elytra, very robust, the first joint 
short and thick, the second extremely short, moniliform, third 
and following joints robust, the apical ones slender. more elon- 
gate, thorax one half broader than long, of similar shape as the 
preceding species, the discoïidal depressions rather deeper and 
transversely shaped, elytra closely and finely punctured, the last 
abdominal segment of the male with a short oblique incision at 
the sides, the median lobe subquadrate, flat. 
Hab. Belgaum, S. Bombay. 
I am obliged to separate this species again from any of the 
preceding on account of the simple head of the male; the antennæ 
agree nearly with that of A. dilaticornis but the joints are 
shorter, especially the basal joint which in the last named species 
is much more slender and club-shaped, the second joint in the 
present insect is also extremely short, and the impression of the 
thorax is more of the shape of a transverse short sulcus; as 
females, belonging to this species, I refer several specimens 
which agree in the sculpture of the thorax, and have much shorter 
and thinner antennæ. 
Acroxena indica n. sp. 
Fulvous, thorax obsoletely foveolate, impunctate, elytra very 
minutely punctured.
