CMcenius rugulosus. 

 Chlipnius ruguloms, Nietner, Journ. As. Soc. Beng. 1856, p. 388. 



Kandy and Peradeniya. 



This species was unknown to Chaudoir. All Mr. Lewis's 

 examples answer well to Nietner's description of the peculiar 

 sculpture of the head and thorax ; but the term lunule which 

 he applies to the apical spot of the elytra is misleading ; the 

 spot is a broad dilatation of the yellow border and resembles 

 much that of (7. sulcatulus. 



Glilcenius frater. 

 CMcenius f rater, Chaudoir, Monogr. des Chleniens (1876), p. 261 ? 



Kandy. 



According to Chaudoir's description the thorax of his 

 C. frater is of the same form as G. vesti'fuSy but then he goes 

 on to mention an important difference in the hind angles. 

 This leaves the identification of the Ceylonese species with C. 

 frater in some doubt, for though the form of the hind angles 

 agrees with the description of G. frater, the outline of the 

 thorax is certainly different, being less cordate or more 

 narrowed in front towards the anterior angles. The punctu- 

 ation is much sparser and coarser than in the thorax of G. 

 vestitus. G. frater is from the Malabar coast. 



Ghlcenius velocipes. 

 CMcenius velocipes, Cbaudoir, Monogr. des Chleniens, p. 266. 



Dikoya. 



Agrees with Chaudoir's description founded on specimens 

 from Siam and Dacca (not Deccan^ as erroneously stated), 

 and also with an example with which I have compared it 

 from the Nilghiris.
