XVI. Notes on the species of the families Lycidse and 

 Lampj^ridse, contained in the Imperial Museum of 

 Calcutta, with descriptions of new species, and a list 

 of the species at present described from India. By

The species of the family Telephoridm contained in this 

 collection have been noticed by me in the * Proceedings ' 

 of the Zoological Society for 1889 [pt. ii., p. 96]. Of 

 the two families of which this paper treats, species have 

 been described by Mr. C. 0. Waterhouse, IVI. E. Bourgeois, 

 and myself from various parts of the East ; and I have 

 thought it would be useful if I gave a complete resume of 

 the Indian species, so far as they are at present known. 

 That our knowledge of the coleopterous fauna of our 

 Indian Empire is in many groups so very limited seems 

 almost a reproach to us. It is much to the credit of 

 the authorities of the Calcutta Museum that they have 

 determined to inaugurate a better state of things. 



In the following notes I have given the actual habitat 

 of the specimens recorded, whenever I can ascertain it. 

 The letters B. M. indicate that the species is contained in 

 the British Museum ; G., that the specimens referred to 

 are in my own collection. Mus. Brus., Mus. Gen., refer 

 to specimens contained in the Museums of Brussels and 

 Genoa, sent to me for determination.
