SECOND YARKAND MISSION. 
11. — SCARITES ARENARITJS. 
Bonelli, Obs. Entom. 2, p. 40. 
Chaudoir, Bull. Mosc. 1855, i, p. 86. 
Sab. — Yangihissar. A widely-distributed species, throughout the basics of the Medi- 
terranean and the Caspian; but not hitherto recorded from regions further east. Solsky 
includes the allied species, Sc. persicus (Chaud.), among the insects taken by Eedchenko 
in Turkistan. The Yangihissar examples agree better with Sc. arenarius, haying two 
denticulations above the digitation of the anterior tibiae ; they are, however, rather more 
elongated than specimens from Algiers and Imeritia with which I have compared them. 
The siz e is 8| — 9| lin. 
12. — Dyschiritts ordinatus. 
Bates, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1873, p. 240. 
Sab. — Pamir, between Sirikol and Panga. I see no definite character to separate this 
small species from I). ordinatus, hitherto known only from Japan. 
13. — Broscus. punctatus. 
Dejean, Spec. Gen. Col. ill, p. 431. 
Sab . — No locality, probably near Yarkand. A widely-distributed Oriental species, being 
recorded from Egypt, Mesopotamia, Nepaul, and China. 
14. — Pristomacii/erus chalcocephaltjs. 
Wiedm., Zool. Mag. ii, i, p, 57. 
Sab . — Jhelam Valley. One example, differing from the original Hongkong specimen 
only in the squarer form of both the yellow elytral spots. 
Closely allied to Pristomaclicerus messii of Hongkong (Bates, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1873, 
p. 324). It differs a little in colour and the form of the anterior elytral spot from Wiede- 
mann’s description. 
15. — Chljenius spoliatus, var. inderiensis. 
Chlcenius spoliatus, Rossi., var. inderiensis, Motschulsky, Bull. Mosc. 1864, ii, p. 346. 
Sab. — Yangihissar. One example, agreeing perfectly with the above-cited description 
of a remarkable variety of this widely-distributed species, hitherto recorded only from the 
borders of lake Indiersk. The type-form occurs throughout nearly the whole Palsearctic 
region, from the western shores of Europe to Japan.
