piceous, the prothorax in part and the head entirely reddish, the 

 palpi, mouth-parts, antennae, and legs testaceous, the posterior 

 femora and tibiae infuscate. Head about as wide as the prothorax, 

 well developed behind the moderately large eyes, rounded at the sides 

 posteriorly, sparsely, minutely punctate, the occipital groove broad, 

 deep; antennae moderately long, slender, joints 9-11 stouter and 

 elongated, 11 nearly as long as 9 and 10 united. Prothorax convex, 

 narrow, elongate-oval, obliquely compressed on the flanks posteriorly, 

 the basal groove complete; densely scabroso-punctate. Elytra 

 moderately elongate, rather broad, subparallel in their anterior 

 half; densely, minutely punctate, and also punctato-striate to near 

 the apex, the interstices flat and set with an irregular row of 

 scattered setigerous punctures similar to those of the striae. 

 Legs stout; basal joint of anterior and intermediate tarsi much 

 thickened, that of the posterior pair curved. 

 Length 5 mm. ($ ?) 



Hob. India, Darjeeling (G. Rogers). 



One specimen, received by the Museum in 1906. Dis- 

 tinguishable by the scattered, intermixed, erect setae on 

 the upper surface, those on the elytra arising from con- 

 spicuous punctures on the flattened interstices, suggestive 

 of those of many Lagriids (Steitira, etc.). The general 

 coloration resembles that of M. nigripennis, Pic, from 

 Kandy, Ceylon. The only Himalayan Meter atria recorded 

 is M. heirmandi, Pic, from Sikkim, which must be a very 

 different insect. 



33. Macratria longipennis, n. sp. 



Very elongate, shining, rather sparsely clothed with long, fine, 

 decumbent, brownish hairs; black, the mouth-parts, palpi, joints 

 1-6 of the antennae in part, and legs rufo-testaceous or ferruginous. 

 Head as long as broad, much developed behind the comparatively 

 small eyes, and arcuate ly narrowed posteriorly, sparsely, finely 

 punctate, the occipital groove short, shallow; antennae long, rather 

 stout, joints 9-11 thickened and elongated, 11 much longer than 10. 

 Prothorax convex, narrow, elongate-oval, attenuate in front, obliquely 

 compressed on the flanks posteriorly, the basal groove deep, closely 

 granulato-punctate. Elytra much wider than the prothorax, very 

 long, subparallel, transversely depressed below the base; some- 

 what coarsely, rather sparsely, confusedly punctate, without 

 definite impressed lines on the disc (the sutural and submarginal 

 striae excepted), the interspaces smooth and shining. Legs long,
