74 SECOND YAEKAND MISSION. 



hind, minutely and not closely granulose-punctate, with distinct indications of strise, intervals 

 very faintly rugulose, and run over with very delicate sub -reticulate lines ; very faintly hispid ; 

 humeral angle very prominent, dentiform : epipleural fold finely sparsely granulous ; under- 

 side and legs of a lighter hrown : ahdomen closely, finely, sub-muricately corrugated, and 

 thinly clothed with a long yellowish pubescence ; the last joint in the $ with a depression 

 at the middle of its upper margin. 



Length 4^ to 4-| lines. 



No locality given. 



MYATIS QUADRATICOLLIS. 



Brown, of a much lighter shade than the preceding : head somewhat strongly punctured, 

 more distinctly foveolated between the eyes : prothorax distinctly transverse, dull-reddish 

 castaneous, clouded with dark brown, less evenly convex, irregularly foveolately depressed at 

 each side near the border, sides more contracted posteriorly, the hind angles not produced nor 

 outwardly directed ; base not distinctly sinuate at each side ; the punctuation distinctly 

 coarser at the sides : punctuation of elytra a little less clean and less distinct ; distinctly his- 

 pid at sides and apex, this very fine, short, and of a golden-yellow colour; humeral angle 

 prominent, but not dentiform : underside and legs of a paler reddish brown. 



Length 4 lines. 



Between Leh and Yarkand. 



MYATIS VARIABILIS. 



Varying from light reddish to very deep dark brown : head less distinctly foveolated be- 

 tween the eyes than in the preceding : prothorax distinctly less transverse, and more uni- 

 formly brown, the punctuation stronger, the median line nearly always distinct and quite 

 smooth, more regularly and evenly convex, more rounded at the sides ; the hind angles are 

 rectangular, or are a little outwardly produced : the elytra are more parallel ; the humeral 

 angle is more or less distinct, but never prominent, the punctuation, &c., is a little closer and 

 stronger ; they are also more distinctly and uniformly hispid : the underside and legs vary 

 from very dark to pale-reddish brown. 



Length 3^ to 4^ lines. 



Between Yangihissar and Sirikol, and Sirikol and Sanju. 



These three species are very close to each other, and I strongly suspect they really con- 

 stitute but one intensely variable species. 



Sub-Family OP A TRINJE. 

 Group OPATRIDES. 



OPATRUM KASHGARBNSB. 



This species has been submitted to M. Miedel, who returns it as a new species belonging 

 to the rusticum (Oliv.) group. 



Oblong, brown, little nitid : head broadly and sinuately rounded in front : epistoma 

 short, a little convex on the middle, notched, but not sharply angularly, in the middle of the
