latter is described as having prominent tempora, deeply 

 emarginate eyes, a triangular apical joint to the maxillary 

 palpi, etc., the insect before me cannot be very nearly 

 related to any of the five species he placed under that name. 



3. Eurygenius scoparius, n. sp. (Plate LXIV, figs. 12, $; 

 12a, abdomen.) 



Elongate, depressed, moderately shining, clothed with rather long, 

 fine, decumbent, cinereous pubescence, the head and prothorax with 

 intermixed longer erect hairs ; reddish-brown or obscure ferruginous, 

 the femora, antennae, and tarsi usually paler, the eyes and the tips 

 of the mandibles black. Head narrowed and feebly developed 

 behind the eyes, rugosely punctate, the eyes very large, feebly 

 arcuato-emarginate in front, separated by about their own width 

 as seen from above ; joint 4 of maxillary palpi oblong-subtriangular ; 

 antennae pilose, long, slender, joint 2 much shorter than 3, 3-11 

 long, subequal. Prothorax about as wide as the head, transversely 

 cordate, deeply grooved within the basal margin, the hind angles 

 obtuse, the short collar in front rounded anteriorly ; closely impressed 

 with small, rounded, umbilicate punctures, and sometimes with an 

 indication of a smooth median line. Elytra long, flattened, much 

 wider than the prothorax, subparallel, rounded at the tip, densely, 

 finely, confusedly punctate. Beneath closely, finely, the sides of 

 the metasternum coarsely, punctate ; abdomen in $ with a broad, 

 oblong brush of long, decumbent fulvous hairs arising from before 

 the middle of the first ventral segment and extending down the 

 second segment to its hind margin. Tarsi with a broadly lobed 

 penultimate joint, the claws rather small. 



Length 7-10J, breadth 2-3^ mm. (<J ?.) 



Hob. India, Nilgiri Hills (Andrewes). 



Six specimens, varying in size, including two males. 

 This species differs from Eurygenius, as figured by Laferte, 

 in having a broader penultimate joint to the tarsi and 

 smaller claws ; nevertheless, it can remain under the same 

 genus for the present. The dense, fine punctuation of the 

 upper surface is suggestive of Scraptia, and the ^-ventral 

 brush is very like that of Eurypus and its allies. Steri- 

 phodon ( ? ) indicum, Pic, from Ramnad, is probably an 

 allied smaller form.
