Ditylus I'uJicoUis, sp. n. 



Obscure brunneus ; capite dense punctulato ; thorace riifo, minute 

 et sparse punctulato ; elytris fusco-brunneis, opacis ; antennis 

 pedibusque concoloribus. 



L. 7|-8 mill. 



Obscurely brown, with very short pubescence ; the head 

 black or int'uscate, rather densely punctulate, eyes not very 

 prominent; the thorax red, a little constricted before the 

 posterior angles, widest behind the posterior angles, punctua- 

 tion minute and scattered ; the elytra dingy brown, opaque, 

 feebly costate, parallel on the sides, densely and minutely 

 sculptured ; the antennae dusky brown ; the legs are more or 

 less of the same colour ; the ventral segments obscure reddish 

 brown. 



Hub. Chiuzenji. Two examples, male and female. 



Patiala, gen. nov. 



The species for which this genus is founded have all the 

 characters of Xanthochroa, except that the anterior tibise are 

 bispurred, the second spur being strong and robust ; the basal 

 joints of the antennse are very elongate and the maxillary 

 palpi also longer. The last six joints of the antennae, joints 

 7 to 12, are in male very short, but in female there are only 

 eleven joints, and these are formed like those in Xanthochroa. 



Type P. antennata. 



Patiala antennata, sp. n. (PI. VIII. fig. 12.) 



Elongata, parallela, fusco-brunnea, luteo-pubescens, subnitida ; 



oculis prominulis ; antennis basi, femoribus partim tibiisque 



fuscis, 

 L. 13 mill. 



Elongate, parallel at the sides, dull brown, scarcely shining; 

 the head prolonged anteriorly as in Xanthochroa Waterhousei, 

 Har. ; eyes rather prominent and posteriorly nearly circular 

 in outline, space between them wider than in the next species 

 and of nearly the same width throughout ; the thorax a little 

 longer than wide, without dusky markings, uneven, but 

 ■without any well-defined impressions ; the elytra sculptured 

 like those of X. Waterhousei, but with the two dorsal costse 

 better defined and less evanescent apically, where they appa- 

 rently join; the antennae, basal joint very long, longer than 

 the first and second together in X. Waterhousei, second less 

 than half as long as the first, third as long as tlie first and
