scales not very dense, more close above the small fuscous spot 
near the middle. Intermediate tibiae slightly cmargmate at apex.

Hah. Assam: Patkai Mts. ( Coll. Brit. Mas.). 
The smallest of the Indian species ; the elytral fuscous spot is 
very obsolete, but similar on both elytra and marked above by 
a slightly more dense accumulation of scales. 
753. Demotina serraticollis, Baly, Tran*. Eat. Soc. 1867, p. 85. 
Piceous, subopaque; antennae and legs rufo-piceous ; elytra 
fuscous, clothed with line grey pubescence and erect hairs. 
Head closely covered with adpressed dingy white scales : clypeus 
transverse, not distinctly separated from the face, surface glabrous, 
rugose, rufo-piceous ; antennae slender, nearly filiform. Thorax 
transverse, sides rounded, convergent in front, lateral margins 
armed with a single row of short teeth : surface transversely 
convex, finely (“ coarsely,” Baly) punctured, rugose at the sides. 
Elytra coarsely striate-punctate, clothed with dingy white, inter- 
mixed with other dark fuscous scales that form irregular patches. 
Length 4 mm.

I cannot find sufficient differences between the Indian specimen 
and the type to justify a separation ; the only variation seems to 
be in colour. In the Indian form the ground-colour is fuscous 
instead of piceous. I cannot call the puncturation of the thorax 
or elytra “ coarse,” but, on the contrary, would describe it as 
rather fine, even under a strong lens. 
754. Demotilia balyi, Jac. Ann. Mas. Civ. Genova, xxxvii, 1889, 
p. 168 . 
Obscure fuscous, covered with short greyish scales .and erect 
hairs ; clypeus fulvous ; antennae flavous ; thorax with narrow 
whitish bands ; scutellum and some spots at the base of the 
elytra whitish, the latter strongly punctate-striate, with an 
obscure fulvous transverse band. 
Head dark fulvous, clothed with pale yellowish scales : clypeus 
fulvous, broader than long, without scales, strongly punctured, 
its lower edge slightly emarginate ; apex of mandibles black : 
antennae filiform, two-thirds the length of the body, the apical 
joint fuscous, the third and fourth joints very elongate, equal, 
following joints gradually shortened and slightly thickened. 
Thorax more than twice as broad as long, the sides margined, 
slightly widened at the middle and rounded ; the surface rugose, 
dark fulvous, clothed with pale yellowish-white short adpressed 
scales which form a narrow longitudinal vitta on the disc and a 
broader stripe on each side, all the vitta) are, however, indistinct. 
Scutellum thickly pubescent. Elytra very closely and deeply
