 - Cotype in the Indian Museum. 



Of the five examples four belong to the British Museum, and 

 these have only "Bengal" on the locality labels ; the specimen 

 belonging to the Indian Museum was taken by Dr. N. Annandaie 

 from the following locality : — 



Barkuda Island, Ohilka Lake, Ganjam district, Madras Pre- 

 sidency, 22.vii. 1920 ; found on bath-room window. 



In this specimen the costee of the elytra are more pronounced. 



In preparing this paper I have had the advantage of seeing 

 specimens in the British Museum collection. I wish to thank 

 Dr. C. J. Gahan and Mr. K. G. Blair for their courtesy, valuable 

 suggestions, and criticisms. I wish to thank also Dr. I^. Annan- 

 dale and Dr. and Mi^s. Kemp for kindly letting me examine 

 their respective insects. The drawings of two insects were made 

 by Mr. S. C. Bagchi, of the Indian Museum, Calcutta, and of one 

 by Mr. A. J. E. Terzi ; to these artists my thanks are also due. 



The preliminary study of these interesting beetles was made 

 in the Indian Museum, Calcutta, while I held chai-ge of its 

 Entomological Section.
