The sliape of the head seems to determine the position of 

 this genus in the group of the Agniides. The absence of 

 spines or tubercles from tlie sides of the prothorax and the 

 incomplete margin to tiie cicatrice of the antennal scape are 

 two characters which will distinguish the genus from the other 

 members of the group, and which at the same time seem 

 to point to an affinity with the Mesosides.

Hah. Mungphu, in Sikkim (Atkinson). 



Ferruginous red. Head minutely and very closely punctured 

 in front, more sparingly and strongly punctured on the sides 

 and vertex. Prothorax rather thickly punctured, and with 

 numerous short and minute ridges which have a general 

 transverse direction. Elytra with very large and closely 

 placed punctures occupying almost the whole of the basal half ; 

 behind the middle, and for a short distance along the suture 

 in front of the middle, the punctures are much smaller and 

 less dense, while towards the apex they become still smaller 

 and sparser ; each elytron has about twelve or fourteen 

 irregularly arranged spots of golden-tawny pubescence, nearly 

 half of these spots being very small and punctiform. The 

 underside of the body is coloured like the upperside, but the 

 sides of the meso- and metathorax are somewhat blackish. 



EuSEBOiDES, gen. nov. 



Elongate. Head with the front slightly transverse and 

 somewhat widened towards the base. Eyes emarginate, their 

 lower lobes rather small. Antennae about half as long ao-ain 

 as the body 5 first joint subcylindrical, reaching to a little 

 beyond the middle of the prothorax ; third joint about equal 

 in length to the first, the fourth a little longer; the fifth and 

 following joints gradually decreasing in length. Prothorax 

 cylindrical, parallel-sided, its length scarcely appreciably 

 greater than its breadth. Elytra elongate, gradually nar- 

 rowing from the base backwards; their apices narrowly
