Cerambycini. —Gahan lists 309 species from the Indian region, 
divided into 20 groups. It is impossible to discuss so large a 
number of forms here ; about 12 may be considered as common 
in the plains. We figure Hypoeschrus indicus, Gah., which bores in 
the Sal tree. 
Xystrocera glohosa is a reddish brown beetle, of about one inch 
length, with a conspicuous longitudinal band of metallic green along 
the elytra, found very widely. It represents the third group CEmini.
