Clypeus deflexed between the mandibles, and the labrum more or less uncovered. Pronotum shorter than in the female. First four ventral segments greatly contracted, the last two moderately long. Pygidium incurved and completely covered by the elytra. Pirst four joints of the front tarsus very short and broad, the fourth with an internal lobe ; claw-joint very large and strongly curved, the inner claw large and entire. 2 . Longer in sha])e. Clypeus more triangular. Elytra thickened near the middle of the outer margins. Pygidium prominent, not covered by the elytra. Inner front claw bifid or toothed. The second Indian representative of this genus differs in many important particulars from the typical species, and it may be necessary eventually to separate it generically, but this point can only be decided when the discovery of more specimens has made it more adequately known. Key to the Species. Light-coloured ; liind legs slender dohertyi, Ohaus. Dark-coloured ; hind legs short and thick hirmanica, Arrow. 20. Fruhstorferia dohertyi. Fruhdorfena sexmandata, Kraatz, var. dohertyi, Ohaus, Deutsche Ent. Zeits. 1905, p. 98; Pouillaude, Iusecta,'l915, p. 16. Pale greenish yellowy with the mandibles, tarsi, abdomen, the extreme margins of the clypeus, prothorax (in front and behind), and scutellum, and a small spot upou the apical callus of each elytron, mahogany-red. It is rather elongate in shape and not very convex, and the lower surface is clothed, not very thickly, with short, pale yellow hair. The head is not large, and the clypeus is produced as a narrow rounded lobe between the mandibles. The forehead is shining, very scantily punct
