NEW Indian drilid beetles. 583 



The first joint of the antennae club-shaped, the second very short, 

 the third to the tenth ahiiost equal in size and slightly expanded 

 triangularly towards the inner side, the last joint bluntly 

 rounded. In the expanded character of the several joints of the 

 antennae it bears a certain amount of resemblance to Etigeusis 

 palpator Westwood, in which these points are extraordinarily 

 expanded into rami. Frothorax about as broad as long, slightly 

 narrowed towards the front ; the posterior lateral angles pro- 

 duced to acute points ; surface convex, with a faint longitudinal 

 impression along the centre and deeply sloped on each side ; this, 

 with a similar slope on the elytra in front of the humerus, forms 

 a deep depression ; closely punctate. Scutellum triangular, punc- 

 tate. Elytra as broad at the base as the prothorax. The lateral 

 margins and suture costate. On each elytron there are three 

 more or less prominent cost?e ; one runs close to the suture, the 

 second along the longitudinal middle line, and the one nearer 

 the margin starts from a point below the humerus, a feeble 

 one, corresjoonding to the third in Lamellipcdpus nigripennis 

 Pascoe, is observable in certain lights. These costse approach 

 one another towards the apical area, where they disappear. The 

 surface is irregularly punctate. Underside shining, smoother 

 than the upperside. 



Length 9-10 mm. 



Bombay. 



Described from two examples, the larger of which I have made 

 the type specimen. It has the apical black patch on the elytra 

 diffused, while in the other it is more sharply defined. In the 

 type specimen the lamellate joints of the palpi are broader, with 

 apex slightly narrowed, while in the smaller specimen they are 

 uniformly nai-rower. 



Type in the British Museum. 



Lamellipalpus manipurensis, sp. n. 



Upperside subnitid, thorax and head more shining than the 

 elytra ; elytra and eyes black, the four lamellate terminal joints 

 of the maxillary and labial palpi, and the antennal joints except a 

 part of the two basal joints, smoky black ; the rest of the body, 

 including the underside, brown. The lamellate joints of the 

 palpi are narrower and more elongate in this species than in the 

 two others of this genus. 



Head almost as broad as long ; interantennal space shallowly 

 depressed, covered with light brown pubescence. The first joint of 

 the antennse is almost as long as the third joint but very slightly 

 thicker, second joint small and rounded, third joint slightly club- 

 shaped, fourth to tenth almost equal to each other in length and 

 thickxiess, the eleventh slightly loi:ger than each of the preceding 

 ones and rounded at the extremity ; the joints of the antennae 

 are not at all expanded. Prothorax slightly broader than long, 

 sides and front margin straight, basal margin sinuate ; the
