BY D. SHARP. 



HALIPLHLE. 



HALIPLTJS (Munich Cat.). 

 1. HALIPLUS MACTJLIPENNIS, Schaum. 



A single individual found in the Jhelam Valley, July 1873. Differs a little from the 

 Egyptian specimens of the species by being rather smaller, and by the punctuation of 

 the elytra being rather less coarse and deep. 



DYTISCID^E. 



HYDEOPORTJS (Munich Cat.). 



1. DYTISCUS GBJSEO-STEIATTJS, Degeer. 



A series of this species, which is in Europe alpine and boreal, was found in the Pan. 

 kong Valley in September 1873. The specimens show more variation in markings than 

 I have observed in European individuals. 



AGABTJS (Munich Cat.). 

 1. AGABTJS ABNORMICOLLIS, Ballion. 



This interesting species is allied to the Corsican A. cephalotes ; it is represented in 

 the collection by a very mutilated female specimen, without indication of locality or date. 



2. DYTISCTJS NITLDTJS, Fab. 

 Dras, Kargil, and Leh, 15th August to 9th September 1873. Three individuals. 



3. AGABTJS AMOSNTJS, Solsky. 



A single female of an Agabus found in the neighbourhood of Sanju I refer to this species, 

 although it differs from Solsky's diagnosis (Eedchenko's, Turkestan, Coleoptera, p. 142) 

 in having the ventral segments entirely black. The species has an elongate and acuminate 

 prosternal process, which projects far back, between the middle legs.
