110 REV. H. S. GORHAM ON NEW [Mat. 5, 



distinct linear black spot upon the crown ; the eyes are prominent 

 and are wider than the thorax. The thorax has the sides nearly 

 parallel, the middle with a narrow deep channel, which is black ; each 

 side of the disk is widely and obhquely impressed, but the front is 

 not depressed as in the two preceding species. The antennae are 

 long, being three quarters of the length of the body, and pubescent, 

 with long pilose hairs. The two basal joints are blacker than the 

 rest, but none of the joints are smooth. The scutellutn is pitchy 

 black, red at the sides. The elytra red, with squamosa pubescence 

 and longer hairs than in the preceding species. 



Two examples from Dibru, and one from the Naga Hills. 



The specimens are apparently males, but I do not think they can 

 be referred to the species with serrate antennae. 



Obs. There is a Calochromus from Dibru almost exactly resem- 

 bling this species in colour and form. 



35. Lycocerus CALiGiNOsus, sp. nov. (Plate X. fig. 11.) 



Niger, subnilidus; prothoracis later ibus supra, humeris, elytrorum- 

 que marginihus postice obscure rufis, genis et mandibulis flavis ; 

 elytris opacis, fumeo-caliginosis. 



Long. 12 millim. 



Hab. India (Mus. Calcutta). 



Head smoky black, rather shining, the cheeks at the base of the 

 mandibles and the latter yellow ; the antennae flattened and widened 

 in the middle, but hardly serrate, two joints at the base shining, the 

 rest smoky black. Thorax with the sides narrowed from the base ; 

 the disk as in L. serricornis, but rather even, not much depressed in 

 front, the middle very obsoletely channelled, the black vitta very 

 distinct and undulate, the side deep blood-red. Elytra smoky black, 

 the lateral margin (excepting at the base) and the apex reddish, but 

 this colour here is ill defined, the callus is also red. Underside 

 black and a little shining. 



A very obscure-looking insect, of which nine examples in the 

 Calcutta Museum are all I have seen. In some of these the red 

 margin of the elytra is complete. 



36. Lycocerus militaris, sp. nov. (Plate X. fig. 12.) 



Niger ; corpora parum nitido, prothoracis disco incequali, obscure 

 picescente, elytris rufo-brunneis, antennis serratis. 



Long. 10-12 millim. 6 2- 



Mas. Antennis longioribus, minus ampliatis, unguiculis simplicibus. 



Fem. Antennis minus longis, articulis brevioribus latioribus ; 

 unguiculis anterioribus quatuor primis basi hamatis. 



Hab. China, Fuchau {G. Lewis). 



Eyes prominent, head black with the exception of the cheeks in 

 front of the antennae, where there is a pale spot, crown a little 

 shining, clothed with a pale golden pubescence. Antennae (of the 

 male) about three quarters of the length of the body, the fourth to 

 the end joints equal in length, serrate, the fourth to the eighth 

 widest, those of the female wider and shorter. Thorax greyish
