median lobe is less abruptly acuminate) to that of the Nepal 
and Almora insects, the southern examples are referred to 
the same species. A large, broad @ from the Anamalai 
Hills, and a small ? from the Nilgiris with the eyes more 
distant than usual, both in the Andrewes collection, may 
also belong here? Bourgeois’s J. melanura was from Kunbir 
Nowatoli, that of Gorham from Belgaum and Madura. The 
type of Diprosopus melanurus, Muls., which has a testaceous 
labrum, was said to have been found at Nimes, France; but 
there must have been some mistake as to this locality (see 
Jacquelin Duval, Gen. Coleopt. Europ. ii. p. 189).

Extremely like J. assimilis, Hope, but with the head 
almost entirely, the antenne (except at the tip), and legs 
(the bases of the femora excepted), black. Genital arma-

a long, blunt point.

dhara in Sikkim (H. Stevens: 3 2), N.W. Provinces (coll.

The numerous specimens from the above-mentioned locali- 
ties in Northern India differ from the types of J. assimilis, 
Hope, in having the anterior portion of the head, as well as 
the basal portion of the antenne, infuscate or black, and the 
median lobe of the ¢ differently shaped. Bourgeois and 
Gorham included several species under the name J. melanura, 
as shown by the differences in the ¢-armature of the 
examples dissected, including a specimen from Sikkim of 
the present insect. The apical black patch is much smaller 
than in J. melanocephala, F., and the antennz are more 
slender. The very elongate elytra are indicated in the 
figure in Hiigel’s work.
