$ . Caput cornu brevi ; pro thorax carina transversa leviter pro- 

 ducta, non dentata, angixlis anticis dentatis, impressionibus ad 

 marginem anteriorem fere nullis. 



Long. 19-26, lat. 11-15 mm. 



Typ. in Mus. Walter Rothschild. 



Bluish green, shining ; head rounded, produced at the eyes 

 into a slig-ht tooth, rugose, with an arcuate, nearly smooth 

 impression behind the horn ; the latter moderately long, 

 recurved, rugose in the male ; that of the female is short. 

 The prothorax slightly rugose, outer margin rounded but 

 somewhat produced in the middle, posterior angles in both 

 sexes scarcely rounded ; an impressed line above the horn, 

 quite distinct in the male. The prothoracic horn of the 

 male bifurcate and quite straight, moderately long, the 

 impressions deep and smooth, approaching each other above 

 the horn. The transverse carina of the female is small, 

 without teeth. Anterior angles of the prothorax of the 

 female with a prominent tooth, the impressions quite obsolete. 



The scutellum slightly impressed before the apex, rugosely 

 punctured nearly throughout. Elytra striped with raised 

 lines, one of which is situated at the suture, two or three in the 

 middle between suture and shoulder, and one at the shoulder 

 prominent, especially at the base, obsolete near the apex ; the 

 spaces between these lines rugose ; the stripes near the outer 

 margin obsolete. 



This species resembles E. yunnanus, Fairm., and E. Potan- 

 im, Sem., in its striated elytra (which give it in the female 

 almost the appearance of Geotrupes sylvaticus^ Panz.) ; it 

 differs, however (so far as we can tell from the descriptions), 

 chiefly in the development of the horns and the impressions 

 of the prothorax. 



Our specimens (2 ,$ and 2 ? ) were taken in North Manipur 

 at elevations of 5000 to 8500 feet (Aug. 1889) and in the Naga 

 Hills (4 (J , 2 ? ) ; and we have also some specimens (2 (J, 

 2 ? ) said to have come from the Punjaub.
