flavous. Elytra scarcely wider at base than the thorax, with a very 
shallow depression below the base, strongly punctate-striate ante- 
riorly, and still more at apex, the latter paler in colour than the rest 
of the disc ; first row of punctures short, not extending to the middle, 
eighth row only visible at the middle, interstices flat and impunctate. 
Body beneath and legs flavous; intermediate and posterior tibiae 
strongly emarginate at the apex ; claws bifid. Prosternum sub- 
quadrate, anterior margin strongly produced. 
Length 2d mm. 
Hab. Bengal: Mandar (Coll. Jacoby). 
Much smaller than li. Ichasianensis, legs entirely fulvous, second 
joint of the antennae much longer, elytra with a depression and not 
wider at base than thorax. 
670. Rhyparida immaculata, sp. n. 
Pale fulvous ; apical joints of antennae black. 
Plead entirely impunctate, vertex above eyes with a deep short 
groove on each side that nearly meet in front ; clypeus broadly 
subquadrate, separated from the face by a shallow transverse 
groove, surface scarcely perceptibly punctured, anterior margin 
concave-emarginate ; antennae with the basal five joints flavous, 
rest black, second joint short, third and following joints very 
elongate. Thorax twice as broad as long, sides rounded, base 
with a submarginal deeply impressed line, anterior margin with 
a similar but less deep line, surface only slightly convex, im- 
punctate. Scutellum oblong, impunctate. Elytra slightly wider 
at base than the thorax, oblong, scarcely perceptibly depressed 
below the base, moderately strongly and regularly punctate- 
striate, the punctures very closely placed, scarcely finer at the 
apex than anteriorly, interstices sparingly and minutely punctured ; 
seventh and eighth rows of punctures abbreviated, the outer two 
rows rather deeply impressed below the shoulders. Prosternum 
broadly sabquadrate. Tibiae strongly emarginate at apex ; claws 
bifid. Anterior margin of thoracic episternum concave. 
Length 4 mm. 
Hab. India (Coll. Jacoby). 
Larger than 11. bengalensis, the clypeus of different shape and 
impunctate, the thorax more stronglytransverse, less subcyliudrical, 
second joint of the antennae short, elytra wider at base.

Black, the basal joints of the antennae fulvous. 
Of an entirely deep black colour. Head obsoletely punctured 
and with a more or less distinct oblique ridge at the sides of the 
vertex ; the clypeus separated from the face b} r a transverse 
groove, transversely subquadrate, with a few fine punctures, the
