pore is wanting, while the front and hind pores are deeply 

 impressed. 



7. Broscosoma ribbei Putz. (Stett. Ent. Zeit. 1877, 100). 

 A well-known Sikkim species, which does not call for any 

 special comment. The type came from Darjiling. 



8. Pristomachaerus quadricolor Putz. (Stett. Ent. Zeit 

 1877, 101). In a recent paper (Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. 

 1921, 247) on the Oriental Species of the Genus Callis- 

 tonvimus, I identified this species a little doubtfully with 

 C. eucharis Bates (Ann. Mus. Civ. Gen. 1892, 305) from 

 Burma. A comparison of the type with some cotypes 

 from the Fea collection enables me to confirm this 

 identification. 



9. Pristomachaerus quadriguttatus Putz. (Stett. Ent 

 Zeit. 1877, 101). In the paper just referred to I expressed 

 the opinion (p. 238) that Putzeys' species would probably 

 prove to be identical with Calliatomimus chalcocephalus 

 AVied. This proves not to be the case, nor is it the same 

 as any of the other species referred to or described in that 

 paper. It is to be noted that, although described from 

 Darjihng, it bears the label " Naini Tal," The nearest 

 and indeed a very close ally is C. jncundus Andr. (p. 239, 

 Plate I, fig. 2) from the Nilgiri Hills and Kanara. C. 

 quadrigutfatus is of the same size, and coloured in very 

 nearly the same way. The head differs only in the absence 

 of the smooth area on the vertex; prothorax distinctly 

 narrower, the sides less rounded and only slightly sinuate 

 before base, hind angles less produced, surface a Httle 

 less coarsely punctate ; elytra more deeply striate, intervals 

 of equal width, surface more coarsely punctate, yellow 

 spots larger, the front one extending inwards to stria 6, 

 the hind one to stria 4. In my " key to the species " 

 Putzeys' species will stand next to mine (p. 236). 



10. Amara darjelingensis Putz. (Stett. Ent. Zeit. 1877, 

 102). I do not think any author has commented on this 

 species. The type is a ^, and Putzeys' description, though 

 short, seems accurate; he gives the width, however, as 

 32 mm., whereas the type is barely 3^ mm. wide. The 

 head is wide, the eyes flat, the frontal foveae very small, 

 but distinctly impressed, continued backwards as a very 

 shallow groove on each side, so as to form a shght semi- 

 circular depression on the vertex. The prothorax is con- 

 vex, transverse, strongly contracted in front, widening 

 from apex to base, front angles rather sharp, hind angles
