56 Mr. K. G. Blair on some neio differs from the other four described species in having a yellow scutellum. It may be mentioned that in none of the species (including D . flavipennis, Skuse, a specimen of which I have examined) does the anal vein quite reach the hind margin. In an undescribed species in the British Museum from Ashanti, the costa extends slightly beyond the tip of the radial sector. The following Walkerian types in the British Museum are assignable to different genera from those in which they were originally described : — Plafywa insolita belongs to Symmerus (but Scj is rather long, ending free). Leia unicohr „ Mycomyia (s. str.). „ indivisa „ Mycomyia (Neoempheria). „ nubilipoinis „ Acrodicrania (butCiu is not detached at base). Mycetophila apicalis „ lioletina ( = B. longicauda, Lundstr., 1912). „ cinctkornis „ Boletina ( = B. niyricoxa, Staeg., Lundstr. ; hypopygium identical, but has yellow coxae). „ concolor „ Boletina ( = B. sciai-i?ia, Mg.). „ despecta „ Phronia. „ pleheia „ Exechia. „ bifasciafa „ Dynatosoma* IV. — Some new Species of Indian Tenebrionidae. By K. G. Blair. (Published by permission of the Trustees of the British Museum.) Blaps armata. Elongata, prothorace leviter transverso, lateribus rcgulariter arcu-atis, marginibus reflexis, dorso convexiusculo subtiliter punctu-lato ; elytris elongato-ovatis, apice sat acute rotundato haud caudato; femoribus anticis ante apicem acute dentatis. Long. 30 mm. Hah. Chitral (/?. Hill) ; Fort Sandeman (E. P. Stealing). This species, of which only the female is before me, seems to be very distinct from any' other described species. From B. femorah's, Fisch., which has the anterior femora toothed, it differs, inter alia, in being only half as long and in in-habiting a different region ; it cannot be placed in Asidoblaps
