at the base^ with the usual carinas ; the spines near the 

 apical angles strong and curved, with a distinct incision at 

 tlie base, situated a little before the base of the posterior 

 truncation. Basal joint of the hind tarsus half as long again 

 as tlie petiole ; abdomen smooth and shining, the third segment 

 coarsely longitudinally rugose, the second segment a little 

 longer than its greatest breadth. Fourth joint of the tarsi 

 short, not reaching the middle of the apical joint. Two 

 cubital cells, the second transverse cubital nervure joins the 

 radius at a distance from the apex of the radial cell equal to 

 the length of the first transverse cubital nervure.

This species is very near syharita. Kohl, from Java, but 

 differs in the shape of the second dorsal segment, which is 

 distinctly longer than its median breadth \u pilosa. There is 

 also a slight difference in the sculpture of the pronotum.

Subgenus Harpactopus, Sm. 



Chlorion (^Harpactopus) subfuscatiis, Dahlb. 



Bab. S. Europe; N. Africa; N. China; Coimbatore, 

 S. India. 



Specimens from Coimbatore differ from the typical form in 

 the deeper longitudinal median and lateral furrows on the 

 median segment, but are certainly not specitieally distinct. 

 I do not know that this species has been previously recorded 

 from India.
