third and following joints elongate and slender, the apical 
joints in the type wanting. Thorax twice as broad as long, the 
sides rounded, the surface impunctate or with a few very minute 
punctures, the extreme basal margin impressed with a row of 
deeper punctures. Scutellum broader than long. Elytra not 
depressed below the base, strongly punctured, the punctures 
arranged in closely approximate rows which form divided striae 
near the apex, the puncturation at the sides below the shoulders 
more irregularly placed. Anterior femora with a strong tooth, the 
others less strongly dentate. 
$ . Third to the terminal joints of the antennas nearly equal, the 
last two joints piceous. Head and the thorax entirely impunctate. 
Length 5 mm. 
Hah. Bengal : Barwav, Mandar ; Southern India : Nilgiris. 
The general colour of this species is pale fulvous in all the 
specimens before me; the nearly impunctate thorax and the 
elytral puncturation differ entirely from any of its congeners from 
the same region. 
814. Tricliona inconspicua, sp. n. 
Testaceous. Head impunctate, with a short central groove ; eyes 
with a very narrow sulcus near their inner margins : clypeus 
transverse, feebly separated from the face, surface with some fine 
punctures ; antenme long and slender, second joint nearly as long 
as the third, apex of terminal joints stained with fuscous. Thorax 
twice as broad as long, sides rounded, surface entirely impunctate. 
Elytra slightly wider at base than the thorax and with a shallow 
transverse depression below the base, very strongly punctate- 
striate, punctures very fine at the apex, last interstice at shoulders 
slightly costate. Body beneath impunctate. Prosternum narrowed 
anteriorly. Anterior femora armed with a strong tooth. 
Length mm. 
Hah. Southern India : Nilgiris. 
Differs from T. variahilis iu the entirely impunctate head and 
thorax. 
815. Tricliona indica, Jac. Mem. Sac. Ent. Belg. vii, 1900, p. 110, 
Dark fulvous or piceous ; apical joints of the antenme black. 
Head finely and sparingly punctured ; the clypeus broad, 
distinctly separated from the face, punctured like the head ; 
labrum fulvous; eyes very huge; antennae black, the basal four 
joints flavous or fulvous, the second and third joints thickened, 
equal, the fourth more elongate and slender. Thorax twice as 
broad as long, the sides rounded, the angles distinct, the surface 
finely and subremotely punctured. Elytra strongly and regularly 
punctate-striate, feebly depressed below the base, the punctures 
stronger at the sides and within the depression than near the 
suture, the apex more finely punctured, the interstices at the
