This species, two females of wliicli only are before nie, is 

 very distinct in having the limbs and underside, with the 

 exception of the abdomen, reddish testaceous. In form it 

 closely resembles the following, and is allied to P. testacei- 

 tarsis, Pic. The head is rather elongate, narrowed behind 

 the eyes, with the antenna3 rather stout and ])ectinate. 

 The thorax is transverse, broadest a little before the base, 

 and angulated at the sides. Tiie elytra are almost parallel, 

 covered with a rather dense suberect pubescence, and without 

 a trace of costae. 



Pyrochroa ni^f/iriensis, sp. n. 



$ . Elongata, subparallela ; supra rufa ore uigro, infra nigra capite 



prothoraccque rufis. 

 Long. 14 mm. 



Hab. Nilgiri Hills (77. F> Andreices). 



This si)ecies is altogether red above, with the exception of 

 the lower part of the face, which is blackish. The underside 

 of the head and prothorax are also red, the rest, with the 

 limbs, shining black, with a fine greyish pubescence. The 

 head is rather broader than in the last species and very short 

 behind the eyes; the antennfe of the female are rather short 

 and pectinate. The protliorax is transverse, angulated at 

 the side a little before the base. The elytra become slightly 

 broader from the shoulders backwards, and are clothed with 

 a suberect reddisli pubescence. The tarsi are entirely black. 



Five specimens, all females, are before me. 



Pyrochroa antennalt's, sp. n. 



Supra coccinca, capite nigro ; antennis validis, valde flabellatis ; 



elytris explanatis, subcostulatis. 

 Long. 18 mm. 



Hab. Burma (Ruby Mines). 



This striking species is easily recognized by its flattened 

 form, with the elytra very strongly expanded and flattened 

 behind. The head is rather small, black, narrowed behind 

 the eyes, and transversely undulate in front. Tiie antennaj 

 are strongly developed and pectinate, the branches in the 

 male being long and } date-like, but in the female shorter and 

 more conical ; in both sexes the antennas are covered with 

 a fine black pubescence. The prothorax and elytra and also 

 the scutellum are bright scarlet, the elytra faintly costulate.
