4 SECOND YAEKAND MISSION. 



11. SCARITES ARENAUIUS. 



Bonelli, Obs. Entom. 2, p. 40. 

 Chaudoir, Bull. Mose. 1855, i, p. 86. 



Sab. Yangihissar. A widely-distributed species, throughout the basics of the Medi- 

 terranean and the Caspian; but not hitherto recorded from regions further east. Solsky 

 includes the allied species, Sc. persicus (Chaud.), among the insects taken by Fedchenko 

 in Turkistan. The Yangihissar examples agree better with Sc. arenarius, having two 

 denticulations above the digitation of the anterior tibise ; they are, however, rather more 

 elongated than specimens from Algiers and Imeritia with which I have compared them. 

 The size is 8^9^ lin. 



12. DYSCHIBJUS ORDINATUS. 



Bates, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1873, p. 240. 



Sab. Pamir, between Sirikol and Panga. I see no definite character to separate this 

 small species from D. ordinatus, hitherto known only from Japan. 



13. BROSCTJS PUNCTATUS. 



Dejean, Spec. Gen. Col. iii, p. 431. 



Sab. No locality, probably near Yarkand. A widely-distributed Oriental species, being 

 recorded from Egypt, Mesopotamia, Nepaul, and China. 



14. PEISTOMACH^RUS CHALCOCEPHALTJS. 



Wiedm., Zool. Mag, ii, i, p. 57. 



Sab. Jhelam Valley. One example, differing from the original Hongkong specimen 

 only in the squarer form of both the yellow elytral spots. 



Closely allied to Pristomachcerus messii of Hongkong (Bates, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1873, 

 p. 324). It differs a little in colour and the form of the anterior elytral spot from Wiede- 

 mann's description. 



15. CHL^NIUS SPOLIATTJS, var. INDERIENSIS. 



Chlcenius spoliatus, Rossi./var. inderientis, Motschulsky, Bull. Mosc. 1864, ii, p. 346. 



Sab. Yangihissar. One example, agreeing perfectly with the above-cited description 

 of a remarkable variety of this widely-distributed species, hitherto recorded only from the 

 borders of lake Indiersk. The type-form occurs throughout nearly the whole Palasarctic 

 region, from the western shores of Europe to Japan.
