and Species of Longicorn Coleoptera. 107 



Nearly allied to Hoplopterus,* Bl. The only example that 

 I have seen is at the India House, and was collected at Daijeeling, 

 by Dr. Pearson. Like the Dorcadions of Europe, its habitat is 

 probably under stones and clods of earth ; and if the Anglo- 

 Indians, while at the sanatoria in the " hill-country," and under 

 the curse of having nothing to do, were to direct their attention 

 to this or other kindred subjects, the tedium of their sojourn 

 would be diminished, and the discovery of many novelties the 

 result. India is still a new field for Entomology. We only 

 know the finer species. 



Aconodes montanus. (PI. XXIII. fig. 7.) 

 A. obscure-fuscus, rugoso-punclatus ; elytris tuberculato-cris- 



tatis. Himalaya Montes. 

 Dull or dirty brown, and coarsely punctured ; prothorax with 

 a slight longitudinal crest ; elytra tuberculate in about three 

 rows, the one towards the suture forming three crests, of which 

 the two basal are the most elevated. • 



Length 4| lines. 



Hathl'm Buchleyi, Moore's MS. 

 H. breviter cylindrica, pilis argenteis brevissimis densissime tecta ; 

 capite prothoraceque linea media prope obsoleta ; elytris 

 apice divaricatis, atro-punctulatis ; oculis antennisque nigris. 

 India Borealis. 

 Body rather short and nearly cylindrical, covered with a very 

 short dense silvery white pile ; on the crown of the head and con- 

 tinuous with the prothorax an obscure broad line ; elytra some- 

 what attenuated posteriorly, the apex divaricate, the dorsal surface 

 with numerous very distinct punctures, apparently caused by the 

 absence of the pile, the black substance of the elytra showing 

 beneath ; eyes and antennae black. 

 Length 7 lines. 



The museum at the India House is indebted to Colonel Buck- 

 ley for many of its most interesting insects, and Mr. Moore has 

 therefore named this interesting coleop after him. 



Apoinecyna frenata. 

 A. atra, subnitida, linea communi ab oculis, lateribus protho- 

 racis ad medium elytrorum transversim connexa, alteraque 

 semilunari versus apicem, niveis. Malacca. 



* This name must be changed, as it was applied in 1831 to a genus of birds, 

 by the Prince of Canino.
