"2 M. L. Peringuey^s Third Contribution [March 30, 



partly open country, more or less grassy arid occasionally barren, and 

 as might be expected where the inhatitants are chiefly of pastoral 

 habits, the coprophylous Lamellicornia are plentiful and much varied, 

 the Cetonidae again are but poorly represented, there being only two 

 Ceratorrhynidas. 



Among the Tenebrionidas, the absence of the long-legged Adesmia 

 (sub. gen. Onymachris), is very noticeable, implying perhaps that the 

 species included in this sub-genus are not met with far from the sand 

 dunes extending along the sea shore. In the Meloidae, the Mylabris 

 are very numerous, and the Curculionidae include no less than fourteen 

 species of Brachycerus^ as well as one species of H ; ppo?-rhimus, which 

 genus had not been recorded as yet from so far North. 



The Longicornia are not very numerous, but they include a repre- 

 sentative of a genus, Olenecamptus, peculiar to Australia and India. 



Cicindelidae number 5 species or varieties, of which 3 are new.
