as the following joints together ; claws appendiculate ; the an- 

 terior coxal cavities open. 



Garin Gheba. 



I include this species rather doubtfully in Agelastica on ac- 

 count of the long and slender antennae and the very narrow 

 posterior elytral epipleurae, in other respects the insect agrees 

 with the generic characters. 



135. JMalaxia assamensis, Jac. 



Black, the antennae with a fringe of hairs (c/") ; the head 

 and thorax finely rugose, finely pubescent, elytra dark pur- 

 plish or greenish, finely coriaceous and pubescent, the knees and 

 the base of the tibiae testaceous. 



Length 2-2 V2 lines. 



Head black, finely rugose, the anterior margin of the clypeus 

 testaceous, the antennae long and slender, the lower two joints 

 more or less testaceous, shining, the others with a long fringe 

 of hairs, the fourth joint double the length of the third; thorax 

 twice as broad as long, the sides strongly rounded, narrowed 

 at the base, the surface longitudinally depressed at the middle 

 and broadly but not very deeply so at the sides, clothed with 

 whitish pubescence , scutellum black , elytra finely coriaceous , 

 green or dark purplish , finely pubescent , underside and legs 

 black, the knees and the tibiae at the base, testaceous ; last 

 abdominal segment of the male with a deep triangular emar- 

 gination. 



Garin Gheba; Palon. 



Principally distinguished by the long pubescence of the an- 

 tennae in the male, the black head and thorax and the colour 

 of the legs ; the female is larger without the fringe of hairs on 

 the antennae and has a simple last segment of the abdomen , 

 but does not differ in other respect. I have given a renewed 

 description of this species, the female of which only was known 

 to me at the time of publication.
