On a Styelid Tunicate from Sypitzbergen. 347 
before the base. Elytra gradually widened from the base, 
rugulose, 
Length 3,4, mm. 
Hab. Invta, Nilgiri Hills, alt. 3500 ft. (ex coll. Andrewes). 
One female. Less elongate and more convex than H. 
nilgirtensis, bluish-black above, the prothorax more closely 
punctured at the sides. The ¢ probably has flabellate an- 
tenne. The general facies is that of the African H. mashu- 
nus and H. laciniosus. 
74 (a). Hapalochrus diremptus, sp. n. 
@?. Elongate, much widened posteriorly, moderately 
shining, finely pubescent ; metallic green, the head brassy, 
the legs and antenne black ; the head and elytra, and the 
sides of the prothorax to some extent, densely, finely, con- 
spicuously punctured, the disc of the prothorax much 
smoother. Head (with the eyes) about as wide as the pro- 
thorax, the eyes prominent ; antennz moderately long, rather 
stout, the joints from the fourth onwards obliquely sub- 
quadrate and somewhat dilated. Prothorax small, convex, 
strongly transverse, deeply, transversely grooved posteriorly. 
Elytra very long, flattened on the disc anteriorly, at the base 
not broader than the prothorax, rapidly widening thence to 
the apex, the latter broadly rounded. 
Length 34 mm. 
Hab. 8. India, Belgaum (ez coll. Andrewes),. 
One female. Extremely like the Abyssinian H. cineras- 
cens (type 2, No. 42 of my earlier papers), differing from it 
in the more prominent eyes, the shorter pubescence, and the 
rather strong puncturing, this being particularly noticeable 
at the sides of the prothorax. In a combined arrangement 
of the African and Asiatic forms, H. diremptus should follow 
HH. cinerascens and be numbered 42 (a).
