Enochrus (subg. Lumetus = Philhydrus, Sol.) sp. 



A single 9 from W. es Seinakh looks, judging from the 

 description, very like Philhydrus tetraspilus, Reg from Mahe 

 (India) and Calicut. It is of the same small size as that 

 species (338 mm.) and seems to be of the same coloration, 

 punctuation and structure. Yet, as Regimbart did not state 

 the presence of the little ciliate emargination on the posterior 

 margin of the fifth abdominal ventral plate, which does not 

 occur in all the species of the genus, and taking in considera- 

 tion the occurrence of the unique specimen under examina- 

 tion in a very different faunistic region, I consider it necessary. 

 no typical specimen of Regimbart being at hand, to leave it 

 undetermined for the present and only to point out its 

 peculiarities for future studies. The prefront of the Syrian 

 example is deeply emarginated on the fore side and the yellow 

 clypeus very conspicuous in the emargination, the lateral 

 prefrontal yellow spots limited backwards by the deep black 

 coloured antenno-frontal suture and the antennal sternite 

 or narrow space between this suture and the eyes 1 , is 

 yellowish (individual variation?). The black labrum has a 

 transverse row of systematic punctures. The maxillary palpi 

 are wholly yellow, the four little dark spots on the disc of 

 pronotum are very conspicuous, the middle of the latter is 

 very laintiy mfuscated, the yellow scutellum is narrowly 

 margined with black and the shouldeis of the elytra 

 are marked with an infuscated spot. The systematic rows of
