COLEOPTERA. 49 
25. — Lachnosterna stoliczkje, n. sp. 
Oblonga, picea, nitida , pectore prosternoque griseo-villosis ; capite hand pano, clypeo 
fortiter rejlexo-marginato, anterius vix emarginato; protliorace lateribus rotundatis, anterius 
quam posterius magis angustccto, crebrius punctato, angulis posterioribus obtusis, margine 
laterali serrato ; elytris crebrius fortiter punctatis, areis longitudinalibus parcius punctatis , 
hand argute elevatis. 
Long. 15 — 16 mm., lat. 8 mm. 
Head coarsely, but not rugosely, punctured, the clypeal margin greatly reflexed, t he 
clypeus of the same breadth as the vertex, so that its elevated side margin is continued 
directly backwards in a straight line along the inner margin of the eye as an elevated space 
which extends as far as the portion of the head which forms the summit of the vertex ; this 
upper part of the vertex is placed on a different plane from the middle part of the head and 
is impunctate except at the sides ; there is no trace of any transverse carina. The membra- 
nous border of the elytra is very fine, but is distinct throughout. 
The male has the flabellum of the antennse a little longer than the female ; in this latter 
sex the front tibiae are evidently tridentate, while in the male they are only bidentate, and 
even the upper of the two teeth is not very distinct : the tooth of the claws is placed quite 
near the base in the male, but in the female it is rather nearer the middle of the claw, and 
is also a little larger. The species will be readily identified by the structure of the head and 
the claws. I have only one allied species in my collection; it is also from Northern India 
and is still undescribed.

Antennis 10-articulatis ; oblongus, colore variabilis, ferrugineus vel piceus, sub-opacus, 
protliorace in medio seepius nitido, ad latera a lb Ido ~p r u inoso * clypeo in medio prof unde emargi~ 
nato ; prothoracis lateribus anterius crenulatis ; elytris indistincte et inequaliter punctatis, 
lateribus dense ciliatis ; pygidio ventreque pruinosis ; pectore prosternoque dense villosis. 
Long. 17^ — 20 mm., lat. 9-10 mm. 
The head is small and very densely punctured ; the clypeal suture consists of an extremely 
fine elevated line, the part in front of which is reddish, while behind the line the colour 
approaches black ; the clypeus is divided into two lobes by a very deep medial incision. 
The thorax is without hairs on its upper surface ; it is moderately closely, and hardly coarsely, 
punctured ; it is much narrowed towards the front, and the anterior angles are not in the 
least prominent ; the hinder angles are rounded and a little obtuse. The elytra are dull, and 
their surface is uneven, from some longitudinal elevations ; their punctuation is irregular and
