depressed below the base (the basal tubercles thus appearing 

 larger) and the sulci more oblique (and fewer in number) 

 than in Termitopisthes and Chaetopisthes ; and the ppthorax 

 furnished at the base with a subtriangular projection in the 

 middle behind. 



These extraordinary Aphodiid-beetles are all termito- 

 philous, and they come freely " to light/'' sometimes as many 

 as three species occurring together at the same place ; 

 Father Heim, too, has found more than one species in the 

 nests of Cdontotermes obesus. 



Since this article has been in type Dr. Wasmann^ to whom 

 I wrote some time ago on the subject, has called my attention 

 to his revision of the group Corythoderini issued in 1918 

 [Wien. ent. Zeit. xxxvii. pp. 7-17, pis. i,, ii.], which, owing 

 to the disturbed state of affairs on the continent, had not 

 reached many of the libraries in this country, and had thus 

 been overlooked by me. In this revision he adds two new 

 genera^ two new subgenera, and six new species to the 

 Indian fauna, bringing the number of the latter up to 

 thirteeUj several of which are represented in the material 

 before me. He lias now been kind enough to examine the 

 two new species described by me, and to write descriptions 

 of several others which required comparison with insects 

 previously named by him. The result of this examination 

 has made it necessary for me to rewrite this paper, and to 

 divide it into two portions : I., for which I am responsible, 

 and II., by Dr. Wasmann. The latter includes his notes on 

 or descriptions of the eleven species submitted to him, four 

 more of which he considers to be new, making, with the two 

 described by myself, six additions to the Indian list. In my 

 own contribution the determinations of the known species 

 other than Cfulvus, Westw., and C. simplicipes^ Reiche, have 

 been confirmed by Dr. Wasmann or are on his authority. 

 He has prepared photographs of all the new species; these 

 are reproduced on Plate VT., the references to which are 

 given in the second portion of this paper.
