. Coleoptera: Lamellicornia.

Punjab : Kulu : Kashmib : Gilgit ; Feontiee : Peshawur. Type in coll. O. E. 123. Protaetia longipennis, sp. n. Copper-coloured, with the lo\\er surface and legs fiery red and the upper surface opaque ; decorated m ith white markings con- sisting of six or eight minute spots on each side of the pronotuni, a small ir- regular patch at the outer margin of each elytron considerably beyond the middle, and minute spots between these and at the sides. There are also, a small spot on each side of the pygi- dium, two or three on each side of the sternum, and two rows ou each side of the abdomen. It is an elongate, depressed species, tapering gently from shoulders to apex. The Jtead is sparingly punctured, but more closely at the sides of the clypeus, the front margin of which is very feebly excised in the middle. The pronotum is also sparingly punctured, except at the sides, the lateral margins are feebly angulated behind the middle, the posterior angles moderately prominent, and the base narrowly emarginate in the middle. The scuiellum is rather elongate. The eh/tra are long, moderately punctured, and have a broad depression upon the posterior half near the sutvu-e. The sides are strongly sinuated and the apical auHes not produced. The pyciidium is rugose and clothed with short erect setse. The mesostemal j^^'ocess is short and broad, the middle of the metasiernum and abdomen smooth, the sides of the former rugose, those of the latter coarsely punctured and both thinly clothed with short hairs. The front //ia? are sharply tri- dentate and the hind tibia/ closely fringed. I have seen only the female, in whicii the last two ventral seo'ments are strongly punctured and the si)urs of the hind tibia? very short and blunt. Length 21 mm. ; breadth 10
