Xenicotela, nov. gen. 



G-en. XenolecB (Thoms.) similHma, sed differt antennarum 

 scapo apice anguste cicatricoso, Isevi, acute et integriter mar- 

 ginato. Parva, subcylindrica. Caput exsertum ; tubera antenni- 

 fera elevata, divergentia ; frons quadrata plana ; oculi grosse 

 granulati. Antennse corpore duplo longiores, apicem versus 

 tenuiores, scapo brevi, oblongo-clavato, cicatrice angustissima 

 acute marginato, laevi; articulo 3° elongate, robusto, cseteris 

 gradatim brevi oribus. Thorax cyliadricus, tuberculo mediano

 rotundata. Pedes sat breves et tenues, tibiis anterioribus 

 flexuosis, intermediis simplicibus. Acetabula antiea extus angu- 

 lata, intermedia clausa. 



Founded on a small species resembling much Xenolea, but 

 differing from that genus and its allies {DorcascJiema, Setcemis, 

 &c.) in the scape being smooth, with the cicatrice narrow and 

 sharply margined, instead of very large, oblique, and scabrous, as 

 in the genera just named.

 Olivaceo-fusca, adpresso-pubescens, antennis et tarsis fulvo- 



* A second and much finer species of Apalimna occars in Northern India. 

 It is relatiyely much broader and more robust, with elytra more triangular in 

 outline and furnished with strongly bituberculated centro-basal crests. The 

 other characters are as in A. liturata. — Apalimna ducalis, n. sp. Lata, ro- 

 busta, cinereo-albo tomentosa (prope scutellum et humeros fulva), antennis 

 et pedibus nigro-annulatis, capite anticeet occipite thoracisque disco maculatis, 

 elytris fascia obhqua post medium maculisque suturalibus et apicalibus, nigris : 

 thorace disco trituberculato, scutello bicornuto, elytris apice conjunctim 

 rotundatis, basi latis, humeris tuberculatis antice productis, crista utrinque 

 centro-basalis valde bituberculatis, pone scutellima et humeros grossissime 

 punctatis, carinaque discoidali flexuosa. Long. 20-24 millim. (^ $ . North
