HARPALINI. 
Acrogeniodon, Tchit. Abeille, xxix. 1897, p. 65= Chydeus, 
Chaud. Bull. Mose. 1854, 1. p. 343. 
Two species were described by Tchitcherin, viz., A. hedeli 
(1. ¢. p. 66), from Moupin, and A. semenow? (Hor. Soc. Ent. 
Ross. xxxil, 1899, p. 660), from Darjiling. Neither of these 
appears to be identical with the genotype, C. obscurus, Chaud. 
(/.c. p. 344), for a specimen of which I am indebted to 
Mr. T. G. Sloane. 
Platymetopus tnterpunctatus, Dej. Sp. Gen. iv. 1829, p. 71. 
The locality is given as Coromandel, which is almost 
certainly erroneous, The species inhabits Madagascar and 
the Seychelles. 
KAREYA, gen. nov. 
In Compt. rend. Soc. Ent. Belg. 1891, and Ann. Mus. 
Civ. Gen. 1892, Bates described a number of species under 
the generic name Platymetopus (?), and at p. 332 of the latter 
volume he makes some remarks upon it. The general appear- 
ance of these insects is widely different from that of typical 
Platymetopi, and the size is larger. In Platymetopus the 
ligula is short and bisetose, the paraglosse small, extending 
a little beyond and enveloping it, with a fringe of hairs on 
the outer margin. In Kareya both ligula and paraglosse 
are larger, the former bisetose but free at the apex, the latter 
wider, glabrous except for one or two minute hairs on the 
sides towards base. Mentum edentate, but with the middle 
of the emargination generally thickened; penultimate joint 
of labial palpi plurisetose; head with a fine suture on each 
side, extending from the frontal fovea to the eye. Both 
head and prothorax smooth, the latter finely punctate over 
the basal area, its formasin Gnathaphanus. Hlytra minutely 
punctulate and very finely pubescent, one or more odd 
intervals (third always) seriate-punctate. ‘larsi hairy on 
upper surface; front and intermediate tarsi in ¢ with four 
moderately dilated joints, biseriately squamose beneath and 
fringed with long hairs ; hind tarsi with joint 1=2+3. 
All the known species were described by Bates. The 
genotype is K. erebius, Bates, Ann. Mus. Civ. Gen. 1892, 
p- 831, from Burma ; the other species to be included are 
K. edentatus, gnathaphanoides, grandiceps, major, and sublevis. 
The generic name is derived from a Kanarese word 
meaning “ black, dirty.”
