female about half as long again as the body. The sternal 

 processes simple. 



Mondhammus amicator (White, MS.). 



Castaneus, breviter griseo pubescens ; capite impunctato ; prothorace 

 antice et postice bisulcato, dorso sequali vix punctato ; elytris ad 

 basiu granuloso-pimctatis, postice gradatim attenuatis, apicibus 

 subsinuato truncatis ; tibiis mediis non emarginatis ; prosterno 

 angustissimo ; antennis {S) articulis 3° et 4" paulo incrassatis. 



Long. 26 mm., lat. 9 mm. 



Hah. N. India (Silhet). 



With a reddish-brown derm, clothed with a very short 

 greyish pubescence. Head rather strongly exserted, impunc- 

 tate. Prothorax with a few small granulate punctures on each 

 side of the middle of the disk. Elytra somewhat coarsely 

 punctate at the base, the punctures not visible beyond the 

 middle, the apices obliquely and somewhat sinuately trun- 

 cate. Antennffi reddish brown, with the scape dark grey 

 and the bases of the third to eighth or ninth joints pale grey ; 

 tlie third and fourth joints, in the male, tiiick. The pro- 

 sternal process very narrow. The mesosternal process with 

 a feeble carinate tubercle behind. Middle tibite without any 

 notch or groove. 



This species bears in the British-Museum collection the 

 name which I have adopted. I have not been able anywhere 

 to find a description of it. 



Monohammus griseatuSy n. sp. 



M. amicatori similis, sed differt capitis fronte sparse punctata, pro- 

 thorace dorse punctato ; elytris non granulosis, usque apicem 

 punctatis. 



Long. 25 mm., lat. 7^ mm. 



Hah. India. 



Resembles the last species, but is slightly more pubescent. 

 There are a few scattered punctures on the head. The punc- 

 tures on-the thorax are more numerous, and are shallow and 

 depressed. The shallow punctures of the elytra are largest at 

 the base, and gradually diminishing in size backwards extend 

 up to the apex. The middle tibige, as in M. amicator, are 

 without notch or tubercle ; the sternal processes are narrow, 

 especially the prosternal ; and the mesosternal is very feebly 

 carinate. The antennse in the female about twice the length 

 of the body.
