glass minute asperate punctures may be seen between the 

 granules. The anterior tibise are incurved beyond the 

 middle. The anterior femora have a small tooth rather 

 before the middle. The metasternum is vertical in front, the 

 vertical part finely and closely granular. 



This species is very close to G. Dejeanii, but is differently 

 coloured, a trifle narrower, and the posterior angles of the 

 thorax are more impressed and a little more prominent. 



Gymnopleurus subtilis. 



Oblongus, paulo convcxus, niger, parum nitidus ; capite subtiliter 

 rugoso, antice granuloso, obtuse quadri-dentato ; thorace creber- 

 rime subtiliter grauuloso-rugoso, lateribus arcuatis, augulis 

 posticis obtusis ; elytris leviter striatis, subtilissime coriaceis, 

 crebrc subtiliter granulosis ; metasterno medio fere lawi, nitido, 

 autice convexo, crebre granuloso, fusco-fimbriato.

Hab. N. India {Col. Buckley). 



The head is closely and rather finely rugose, more asperate 

 in front. The middle pair of teeth in front separated by a 

 comparatively narrow incision. The thorax is not very con- 

 vex, a little more narrowed in front than behind ; densely 

 and finely granulose-rugose, with numerous small shallow 

 punctures scattered over the surface, only visible in certain 

 lights ; the lateral fovea is round and not very deep ,• there 

 are no basal impressions ; the margins are narrowly and 

 slightly reflexed, the posterior angles obtuse and not pro- 

 minent laterally. The elytra are very finely coriaceous and 

 finely granular, the granules rather close together, very small 

 (but slightly unequal), shining. The upper margin of the 

 basal segment of the abdomen is distinctly thickened. The 

 metasternum is rounded in front (not tuberose in the middle), 

 arched, granulose, and clothed with long brown hair. 



This species is allied to G. coffer, Fahr. 



Gymnopleurus diffinis. 



Oblongus, sat convexus, sat nitidus, seneo-cupreus, pedibus nigre- 

 scentibus ; capite confertim subtiliter rugoso, epistornio asperato, 

 antice quadri-dentato; thorace subtiliter coriaceo-rugoso, sat crebre 

 minute punctato, lateribus rotundatis, angulis posticis haud pro- 

 minentibus ; elytris sericeo-opacis, leviter striatis, creberrime 

 subtiliter nitido-granulatis. 



Long. 14 millim.
