forman tibus. Palpi maxill. art. 4 rainuto acuminato. Thorax 

 amplus semiorbicularis, margine posteriore medio producto, basi 2- 

 foveolatus. Tarsis art 1-4 subsequalibus. 



The colour of this insect is as usual shaded off from brown to light 

 yellow ; however, in other respects it differs materially from all the 

 preceding species. The body is regularly oval, thorax and elytra 

 convex, pubescent. The head is subquadratic — ovate ; the eyes 

 rather small, but prominent ; the neck is altogether wanting. The 

 antennae are at the base as distant from each other as they can be, 

 being inserted below the eyes ; the club is 3-jointed ; the joints 

 increase gradually in size from the 3rd to the 11th. The maxill. 

 palpi have the 2nd joint slender, the 3rd rather pear-shaped, the 

 4th minute and acuminated. The thorax is very ample, semior* 

 bicular, of the shape and nearly the size of the apical half of the 

 elytra ; the basal angles are acuminated and slighty envelop the 

 shoulders ; the posterior margin is prolonged in the middle, towards 

 the scutellum ; the foveas or basal impressions are 2 and rather 

 distant from each other. Scutellum obsolete. Elytra with 2 de* 

 pressions at the base. Tibiae straight ; tarsi with joints 1-4 subequal 

 or very nearly so. Mesosternal carina middling. 



Report on the Proceedings of the Magnetic Survey, from January to 

 May 1856, by Hermann Schlagintweit, 



Eoutes. — After having completed the observations at G-owhatty, 

 detailed in my last Eeport* I left Gowhatty, December 21st, and 

 proceeded up the Brahmaputra to Mungeldie, and from thence to 

 Oodulgoorie on the Frontier of Assam and Bhootan. 



I found occasion to proceed from this place into the country of 

 the Karapo-Bhootans, who occupy the Himalayas East of Bhootan 

 Proper; while my Assistant, Mr. Adams, and the Draftsman, 

 Abdool, who accompanied me as far as Oodulgoorie, went to the 

 coal mines and salt wells in the Baree Dihing.
