new species of Endomychici. 313 
capite, antennis, pedibusque nigris, tarsis rufis. Long. 
hme 35.907 
Elongate, nearly parallel, rather smaller than A. graphi- 
cus. Head black, opaque; parts of the mouth pitchy red. 
Thorax of the width of the elytra, covered with small 
distinct punctures; sides finely margined, a little narrowed 
to the base; anterior angles prominent, acute, hind angles 
a little acute; dise with well-impressed basal sulci. Elytra 
widest below the middle, evenly and closely punctured, 
exhibiting an indistinct sutural stria, pitchy black with a 
square humeral patch, and the anterior two-thirds of the 
nargin pitchy red. Legs and antenne black, tarsi and 
extreme tips of the tibiz red. 
Hab.—North-west Himalaya. Coll. F. Moore; also 
two specimens in the British Museum. 
Genus PHALANTHA, Gerst. 
Phalantha pictipennis, nv. sp. 
Depressa, pallide testacea, breviter sub-pubescens, nitida, 
confertim punctata, elytris maculis duabus et antennarum 
articulis tribus penultimis nigris. Long. lin. 2, 3, &. 
Mas, tibiis anticis denticulo parvo triangulari prope 
apicem armatis. 
Head small, eyes prominent, crown thickly punctured; 
antenneze nearly as in P. exrsanguis, with the exception 
that only the three joimts preceding the terminal one are 
black, the seventh and terminal entirely pale. Thorax 
transverse, hardly twice as wide as long; sides with a 
tooth-like projection nearer to the front angles than the 
base, giving the appearance of the anterior angles having 
been cut off. Margin slightly reflexed, basal sulci more 
evident than in ersanguis. Elytra sub-cordate, closely 
punctured, punctures confluent, varied with marking of a 
darker fuscous colour and with éwo round black spots, one 
on the dise near the suture, the other near the margin, 
and placed obliquely nearer the apex; of the fuscous 
markings the most distinct is a lunule connecting the dis- 
coidal spot with the suture, and in the examples in which 
it is most distinct forming a V; another less distinct spot 
on the suture before the apex. Legs pale testaceous; in 
the male the front tibiz have a small tooth on their imner 
side near the apex, in the female the apex of the elytra is 
more truncate than in the male.
