COLEOPTERA. 19 



(which is obtuse) is a little in advance of the apparent angle, the interval between the two 

 being oblique and curved. The basal fovea lies against the false angle, and the surface 

 between it and the true angle is convex. The punctuation of the elytral interstices is 

 extremely minute and in a single row; visible only in certain lights. The species has the 

 general form of the Peryphi allied to atrocoeruleum. 

 Hab, No locality. Most probably the Pamir. 



56. BEMBIMUM (PERYPHUS) TIBIALE. 



Dufts., Faun. Austr. ii. 209. 



Hal. A single example from Ladak, closely allied to, if not a variety of, this European 

 species. 



57. BEMBIDITJM sp. 



Hab. A single specimen from Kogyar, in immature condition and indeterminable. It 

 is a Peryplius, with strongly rounded thorax and pale apical spot to elytra. 



58. BEMBIDIUM 4-PTJSTULATUM. 



Dej., Spec. Gen. Col. v. p. 186. 



Hab. Between Yangi Hissar and Sirikol. A single specimen, with much enlarged 

 anterior elytral spot. 



59. ANTHIA ORIENTALIS. 



Hope, Coleop. Manual ii, p. 163, pi. 6, f. 14. 



nab. Jhelani Valley, one example. Agrees with Hope's description and figure and with 

 Chaudoir's subsequent description, so far as concerns the depressed elytra and smoother thorax 

 but differs in the anterior spot of the elytra being transverse-oblong. It forms probably 

 another of the numerous local forms of the A. sexguttata. 



60. METABLETUS TARTARUS. 



Proc. Zool. Soc. 1878, p. 719. 



M. truncatello (Lin .) paullo major, magis elongatus, subaeneo-niger, nitidus, antenniset 

 pedibus fusco-piceis : thorace quam in M. truncatello postice magis angustato, angulis posticis 

 obtusioribus, deinde usque ad basin magis obliquis ; elytris elongatis, apice obtuse subsinuatim 

 truncatis, obsolete striatis, impunctatis. 



Long. If lin. 



Closely allied to the European Metabletus truncatellus, but larger and the elytra relative- 

 ly longer. The colour is a little more metallic, and the thorax differs in being more narrowed 

 behind, with the hind angles much more obtuse and the margin thence to the base more
