This is almost of the same size and shape as A. picc2cni, 

 F., but a very little larger and more elongate. It is black 

 and shining with the legs and underside piceous. The 

 head is closely rugose, bituberculate in front and armed 

 on the vertex with two tubercles placed moderately far 

 apart. The prothorax is very distinctly but very closely 

 punctured, the punctures being finer in the middle. 

 There is a faint impression just behind the middle of 

 the front margin and a slight elevation in front of it. 

 The scutellum is broad and unpunctured. The elytra 

 have each a very deep, not distinctly punctured, sutural 

 stria and four pairs of strongly punctured striae, the 1st 

 and 7th interstices being irregularly punctured and the 

 8rd and 5th having each an incomplete line of punctures. 

 The outer and apical margins are strongly and closely 

 punctured. The proiaygidium is slightly produced and 

 bears a pair of fine and moderately broad files. The 

 pygidium is strongly but not closely punctured. The 

 sexes are alike. 



So far as can be judged from the descriptions, two 

 species from Kashmir, strangely ascribed by Fairmaire to 

 Fhileurics{F. hinodulus 2dif\ curtipennis, Fairm.) also belong 

 to this genus. 



For Mvteronychus monodon, Fairm,, and certain other 

 undescribcd species, I have found it necessary to make 

 another new genus. 



MiciiORYCTES, n. gen. 

 Clypevis attenuated in front, with the margin feebly notched and 

 rellexcd. Mandibles strongly notched externally. Front trans- 

 versely carinate with a single slight median tubercle. Prothorax 

 simple, punctured and bearing a rather long hairy fringe at the 

 sides. Elytra membranous at the apical margins. Front tibia; 3- 

 or 4-dentate, without intermediate denticles. Front tarsi slender 

 and claws equal in both sexes. Propygidium without paired 

 stridulating liles.
