FAMILY SCARABAEIDAE 



seem to preclude the possibility ot a doubt that the insect was taken at 

 Naini Tal : 



" Of the Euchints figured I am not able to report from personal 

 experience of its habits, but I have been informed on good authority 

 that its habits are similar to its congener the Stag Beetle or Lucanus 



cervus (L. lunifer). The 

 present specimen of the 

 Euchints was obtained at 

 Nynee Tal, where it had 

 issued out of an oak stem." 

 This is the only record I can 

 find on the subject of this insect 

 infesting this tree. The oak would 

 probably be either Quercus incana 

 or Q, dilatata.
