Indian Forest Records. 
[ Vol. VII 
Labrum transverse, twice as broad as long, gradually rounded from 
base to anterior margin, the median part of which is straight; marginal 
fringe of bristles narrow; disc coarsely punctate. 
Mandibles rugosities much worn ; apices truncate. 
Ventral mouth-parts distorted. 
PROTHORAX. Rronotal plate trapezoidal, basal \\ times apical 
margin ; sides straight for about the apical fifth, at which point a short 
oblique impression occurs, then curved outwards to the posterior angle ; 
disc with a few large punctures and an impressed median line, trans¬ 
versely aciculate in anterior half, vermiculate posteriorly, and at sides ; 
prosternal region wrinkled ; eusterum separated from presternum by a 
forward-curving suture. 
ABDOMEN. Ambulatory ampulla , dorsal with two parallel furrows, 
ventral with one ; no tubercles. 
PARAPHRUS GRANULOSUS, THOMS. 
Thomson, 1861, Essai Class. Ceramb., p. 329. 
On pages 275—276 of “ Indian Forest Insects/'’ Stebbing refers to 
specimens of Paraphrus gramdosus, Thoms, as taken by Mr. A. J. Gibson, 
I. F. S., in July 1909 in Quercus ilex , in Bashahr State, North-Western 
Himalayas. This material is represented by one specimen in the Research 
Institute collection bearing the following data :“ specimen No. 50 of 23rd 
July 1909, from A. J. Gibson, Bashahr State, 23rd July 1909, Quercus 
ilex. No. nil, dated 18th July 1909. Paraphrus granulosus or n. sp./* 
all in Stebbing^s handwriting. I have determined the specimen as 
Lophosternus hilgeli, Redtenb.* 
Stebbing’s record, loc cit , pp. 275—276, should be transferred to the 
synonomy of the latter species. Lameere, 1913, p. 69, gives Bengal, 
Sylhet, Burma, Siam, Tonkin, as the distribution of Paraphrus granulosus 
and it is doubtful therefore if it occurs within the range of Quercus ilex , 
which extends from the western Himalyas towards Afghanistan. 
LOGAEUS SUBOPACUS, WATERH. 
Waterhouse, 1881, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (5), VII, p. 458. 
[ Since the foregoing pages were sent to press I have been able, 
through the courtesy of Dr. F. H. Gravely, Assistant Superintendent, 
Zoological Survey of India, to examine material of this species.]
