25. LACHNOSTEBNA STOLICZK^E, n. sp. 



( 



Oblonga, picea, nitida, pectore prosternoque griseo-villosis ; capite hand parvo, clypeo 

 fortiter reflexo-marginato, anterius vix emarginato; prothorace lateribus rotundatis, anterius 

 quam postering magis angustato, crebrius punctato, angulis posterioribus obtusis, margine 

 laterali serrato ; elytris crebrius fortiter punctatis, areis Longitudinalibus parcius punctatis, 

 haud argute elevatis. 



Long. 15 16 mm., lat. 8 mm. 



Head coarsely, but not rugosely, punctured, the clypeal margin greatly reflexed, t he 

 clypeus of the same hreadth as the vertex, so that its elevated side margin is continued 

 directly backwards in a straight line along the inner margin of the eye as an elevated space 

 which extends as far as the portion of the head which forms the summit of the vertex ; this 

 upper part of the vertex is placed on a different plane from the middle part of the head and 

 is impunctate except at the sides ; there is no trace of any transverse carina. The membra- 

 nous border of the elytra is very fine, but is distinct throughout. 



The male has the flahellum of the antennae a little longer than the female ; in this latter 

 sex the front tibiae are evidently tridentate, while in the male they are only bidentate, and 

 even the upper of the two teeth is not very distinct : the tooth of the claws is placed quite 

 near the base in the male, but in the female it is rather nearer the middle of the claw, and 

 is also a little larger. The species will be readily identified by the structure of the head and 

 the claws. I have only one allied species in my collection ; it is also from Northern India 

 and is still undescribed.

EHIZOTROGUS (Munich Cat.). 

 27. RHIZOTKOGTJS BILOBUS, n. sp. 



Antennis 10-articulatis ; oblongus, colore variabilis, ferruginous vel piceus, sub-opacus, 

 prothorace in medio scepius nitido, ad latera albido-pruinoso ; clypeo in media prqfunde emargi- 

 nato ; prothoracis lateribus anterius crenulatis ; elytris indistincte et inequaliter punctatis, 

 lateribus dense ciliatis ; pygidio ventreque pruinosis ; pectore prosternoque dense villosis. 



Long. 17^20 mm., lat. 9-10 mm. 



The head is small and very densely punctured ; the clypeal suture consists of an extremely 

 fine elevated line, the part in front of which is reddish, while behind the line the colour 

 approaches black ; the clypeus is divided into two lobes by a very deep medial incision. 

 The thorax is without hairs on its upper surface ; it is moderately closely, and hardly coarsely, 

 punctured; it is much narrowed towards the front, and the anterior angles are not in the 

 least prominent ; the hinder angles are rounded and a little obtuse. The elytra are dull, and 

 their surface is uneven, from some longitudinal elevations ; their punctuation is irregular and
