COLEOPTERA. 11 



Resembles specimens from Northern India in every other respect, except that the hind 

 trochanters are long and furcate at the apex, with one branch of the fork very short. The 

 specimen is a female. 



34. SPHODRTJS COKDICOLLIS. 



Chaudoir, Bull. Moso. 1854, i, p. 43. 



Hob. Murree ; one example. 



Differs from Syrian specimens by its slightly broader and more ovate elytra. 



35. CALATHTJS MELANOCEPHALTJS. 



Lin., Fauna Sueo. No. 795 : Putzey's Mon. Calath., p. 58. 



Hob, Pamir, between Sirikol and Panga. 



Many examples ; differing from the ordinary type of "Western Europe by the rather nar- 

 rower and more parallel-sided thorax and elytra. According to Putzeys, alpine varieties occur 

 which are modified in the same manner. 



36. CALATHTJS ANGUSTATUS. 



Koll. & Bedtenb. in Hugel's Kasehmir, iv, ii, p. 500 (1844). 

 Syn. C. Eollari, Putz., Mon. Calath, p. 56.

37. CALATHTJS ? 



Hob. A single example, in imperfect condition, ticketed " Sind Valley ": it would pro-

38. ANCHOMENTJS LADAKENSIS. 



Bates, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1878, p. 718. 



A. parumpunctato (Lin.} proxime affinis, sed gracilior, thorace longiori, etc. Elongato 

 ovatus, gracilis, supra subfusco-cupreus, capite thoraceque magis aeneis, interdum toto mridi- 

 aeneus ; corpora subtus nigro nitido ; femorlbus nigropiceis, tibiis tarsisque rufo-piceis ; anten- 

 nis piceo-fuscis, articulo basali rufo : capite Icevi, post oculos magis subito quam in A. parum- 

 punctato angustato : thorace subquadrato, lateribus leniter arcuatis, angulis posticis rotundatis 

 ibique maryine explanato-reflexo, toto limbo alutaceo : elytris elongatis, margine basali utrinque 

 fortiter sinuato, lateribus par allelis, supra acute striatis, interstitiis planis, tertio 5-punctato. 



Long 3J lin. 



Closely allied to the common European A.parumpunctatus. At first sight it seems to differ 

 only in its more slender, narrower form, and rather duller colour ; but on closer examination
