A VERY large amonut of material has l^een received from 

 Mr. C. F. C. Bceson, Imperial Forest Zoologist, Delira Dun, 

 and the following are some of the hitherto-undescribcd speci- 

 mens; the remainder will be dealt with as soon as possible. 



Crossotarsns errans, sp. n. 



Brown ; elytra darker apically than the prothorax. Front 

 wrinkled and coarsely longitudinally rugose, depressed 

 centrally, slightly hairy, with large shallow umbilical mark- 

 ings ; the vertex with three shiuing earime, the central one 

 culling abruptly anteriurlv. Prollntrax oblong, with a longi- 

 tudinal median line on the basal third, on either side of 

 which are a few puctures of slightly dillerent sizes, the 

 larger being nearest the base; the rest of the surface 

 irregularly corroded and sparsely punctured except just 

 anterior to the median line. Elytra nearly one-third longer 

 than, and the same breadth as, the prothorax at the base, but 

 diverging towards the apex, the basal margin acutely raised 

 and smooth ; broadly sulcate and deeply impressed after the 

 basal third, which is lightly sculptured, the third and fifth 

 interstices are basally tuberculate, the tubercles on the latter 

 being the larger, the first and fourth are terminated before 

 the declivity, the second, third, and lifth being the most 

 prominent, and all are very slightly punctured ; the apex 

 abruptly declivous, with rows of [)iliferou3 tubercles, which 

 cease just before the apical margin, which is furnished with 

 four spines on each elytron, the first being an extension of 

 the sutural angle, the other three are jjlaccd laterally, the 

 one furthest from tiie apex being formed by the prolongation 

 of the ninth interstice and is more pointed than the others. 



Length .'i*2 mm. ; breadth ()8 mm.
