Hab. S. India, Nilgiri Hills (A. K. Weld Downing)^ 

 Anamalai Hills [H. L. Andreives : type). 



Three males, one from each locality dissected, showing a 

 precisely similar genital armature. Extremely like /. di- 

 nielana, but separable therefrom by its narrower form, 

 smaller size, the excavate labrum, and the slender, sinuate, 

 sharply hooked apical portion of the median lobe. 



47. Idgia indicola, sp. n. 



(J. Elongate, narrow, shining, the elytra duller; finely 

 pubescent and sparsely nigro-setose ; testaceous, the head 

 (the labrum and anterior margin of the epistoina excepted), 

 and a rather large apical patch on the elytra, black. Head 

 short, the labrum transverse, flat ; eyes very large, narrowly 

 separated ; anteunae slender, filiform, moderately long, 

 joint 11 concave, one-half longer than 10. Piothorax 

 slightly wider thiai the head, longer than broad, strongly 

 sinuate at the sides posteriorly, rugulosely punctate. 

 Elytra long, parallel, densely, rugulosely punctate, without 

 granules on the disc. Anterior tarsal joints 1-3 with a 

 narrow black comb along their inner edge; terminal dorsal 

 segment narrowly, deeply excised. Genital armature 

 (PI. XII. fig. 39) : lateral lubes long ; median lobe, as 

 seen in profile, stout, compressed, and obliquely sloping 

 from a little beyond the middle, the apex drawn out into a 

 short, curved, downwardly-directed point. 



Length (excl. head) 8, breadth 2), mm. 



Hab. India, Kilgiri Hills, Teppukadu, alt. 2500 ft. (H. 

 L. Andrewes). 



One male. Extremely like /. luteipes, but with the 

 anterior portion of the head a little shorter, the labrum 

 flat, the elytra slightly narrower (appearing more elongate), 

 and the median lobe very diti'erently shaped. From /. di- 

 melcena, ^ , the strongly sinuate sides of the prothorax, tlie 

 narrow, parallel elytra, and the very diflierent genital 

 armature will serve to distinguish the present species. 

 i. punclicoUis, Bouig. (1903), length 10-12 mm. ( c? ? ), 

 said to be a common insect '• at light " at Pondichery and 

 Mahe, must have a rougher prothorax and shorter auteunai ; 

 it lias not been identified in the material examined by 

 myself.
