689. Triclioclirysea antennata, sp. n. 
Yiolaceous ; antennae black, basal joints fulvous ; labrum metallic 
green. 
Closely covered with long grey pubescence. Head strigose on 
vertex, rather closely punctured on the front; palpi fulvous; 
antennae short, not extending much beyond base of elytra, basal 
three joints fulvous, basal joint piceous above, terminal five strongly 
widened, scarcely longer than broad. Thorax nearly twice as broad 
as long, lateral margins very feebly rounded, anterior angles pro- 
minent, surface finely and closely punctured, but the interstices 
wider than the punctures. Scutellum broader than long, finely 
punctured. Elytra broadly subquadrately ovate, very feebly trans- 
versely depressed below base, more strongly, blit not more closely 
punctured than the thorax. Prosternum subquadrate, closely 
punctured. 
Length 6-71 mm. 
Hab. Sikhim : Mungphu ; Burma. 
Very closely allied to T. hirta, Eabr., but more shining in 
appearance and less closely pubescent. The principal distinction, 
however, is that the antennae have their terminal joints dilated, 
while they are filiform and elongate in T. hirta.

id. (Bromius) Journ. Ent. ii, 1805, p. 440. 
Dark cupreo-aeneous ; base of antennae fulvous ; the whole body 
clothed with long, suberect, silvery-grey hairs. 
Head extremely closely punctured, furnished with a small central 
tubercle: clypeus of male produced at either side into a strong 
tooth ; labrum metallic green or aeneous ; antennae rather slender, 
basal joint aeneous, following three or four joints fulvous, rest 
black. Thorax subglobose or subeylindrieal, surface rather strongly 
rugose-punctate, interstices at the sides confluent. Scutellum 
closely punctured, greenish. Elytra feebly depressed below base, 
more finely punctured than the thorax, puncturation arranged in 
very irregular rows, interstices everywhere finely punctured. 
Length 6-7 mm.

691. Tricliochrysea severini, Jac. Mem. Soc. Eat. Bely, vii, 1900, 
p. 109. 
Cupreous or dark aeneous ; basal joints of antennae and the tibiae 
more or less fulvous. 
Head finely and rather closely punctured; clypeus semicir- 
cularly emarginate in front ; labrum flavous, stained with aeneous ; 
antennae with the basal five or six joints fulvous, rest fuscous. 
Thorax strongly subeylindrieal, sides straight (not rounded as 
originally given), puncturation rather close and somewhat stronger 
than that on the head, interstices clothed with long stiff black
