502 Mr. B. P. Uvarov—Records and 
given in the key, is quite sufficient to distinguish this 
morphologically very distinct species. In the series from 
Pusa collection, which includes one male and four females, 
the coloration is slightly variable ; two females are almost 
unicolorous on the upperside, while all other specimens 
present faintly developed longitudinal fasciz on the occiput 
and pronotum, as described for P. polita, Uv., but not ex- 
tending on to the abdomen, where the lateral black fasciz 
are also scarcely developed. Hind femora in lighter- 
coloured specimens bear in the externo-median area two 
indefinite transverse fasciz, while in darker specimens they 
are almost entirely clouded with two round pale spots along 
the lower margin; upperside with two or three dark 
transverse fascie ; inner surface olive-yellow, more or less 
clouded with blackish. Hind tibie muddy green, with a 
lighter-coloured subbasal ring.

The genus Apalacris, Walk., is closely related to Coptacra, 
St., but differs from it in the following ‘characters: Antenne 
(at least in male, which sex alone is known) very long, only 
very feebly flattened, but not at all dilated basally, the third 
joint being narrower than the second; the whole vertex 
(not fastigium only) distinctly sloping ; elytra obliquely 
rotundate, but not truncate apically ; male supra-anal plate 
acutely triangular, much longer than broad, with sides 
straight, apex rounded, surface flat; male cerci conical, 
straight, shorter than supra-anal plate; male subgenital 
plate vertical, short. : 
The type-specimen of A. varicornis, Walk., is almost en- 
tirely discoloured ; a fresh male before me, quite identical 
with the type in all morphological characters, is coloured as 
follows :—-
