very long, distinctly longer than all next combined; joints 2 and 4 subequal in length, each a little longer than 3rd. Middle of abdominal sterna without depressions. Posterior margin of last visible abdominal sternite without notches. Aedeagus as depicted (fig. 36). Length 1.2 mm. Lederia (Lederina) indica sp.n. Locality: India, W. Bengal, Darjeeling, distr. Ghum, 2200 m, sifted litter, 1 <$ (holotype) - 6-17.X. 1967. leg. Gy. TOPÁL. The above specimen is deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest. Description: Body oblong-oval, convex, ca. 1.87 times longer than wide. Colour redbrown, maxillary palpi, antennae, prothorax, partly legs and abdomen lighter, red-yellow. Dorsum slightly shining, clother with fine, short, decumbent, silky, grey-yellowish pubescence. Head finely and sparsely punctured, but coarser and denser than pronotum. Eyes reniform, coarsely faceted, well emarginate anteriorly. Isthmus between eyes ca. 1.2 times larger than eye height. Joint 2 of maxillary palpi longitudinal; joint 3 distinctly shorter than 2nd, transverse; joint 4 well developed, roundly securiform, not less than 1.6 to 1.7 times broader and ca. 3.3 times longer than 3rd, ca. 1.3 to 1.4 times longer than wide (fig. 6). Antennae rather short, a bit exceeding beyond pronotal hind margin; joints 1 and 2 well developed, longitudinal, latter a bit longer than former, taken together they are a bit longer than joints 3 to 8 combined; joint 3 short and slender, ca. 2.3 times as thin and not less than ca. 3.5 times as short 2nd; joints 3 to 5 thin, subequal in length; joints 6 to 8 a little broadened, 8th more or less transverse; joints 9 to 11 broadened in a distinct club; joint 9 slightly longitudinal, ca. 1.6 times as broad and ca. 2.2 times as long as 8th; joints 9 and 10 subequal in length; joint 11 ca. 1.7 times longer than 10th; joints 9 to 11 combined ca. 1.4 to 1.5 times as long as joints 3 to 8 taken together and ca. 1.3 to 1.4 times as long as both joints 1 and 2. Pronotum much transverse, ca. 2.1 times broader than long, broadest at base, whereupon anteriad slightly roundly narrowed. Surface finely transverse shagreen and exceedingly finely and sparsely punctured. Elytra more or less oblong-ovoid, ca. 1.52 times longer than wide, broadest at anterior third, whereupon backward roundly narrowed. Surface finely transversely shagreen and very finely (but still clearly denser and coarser than pronotum) punctured. Isthmus between punctures at the anterior part of elytra considerably larger than diameter of a puncture. Procoxae narrowly divided by a triangular prothoracic process nearly reaching hind third of their length. Mesothoracic process dividing mesocoxae short and narrow, ending somewhere between anterior third and half of their length. Metathorax provided with a fine isodiametric microsculpture, rather finely punctured along medial depression and very finely superficially punctured around, although clearer laterally. Axial depression of metathorax narrow, lanceolate, reaching anteriad some one third of metathoracic length (fig. 29). Metepisterna very narrow, not less than 6.0 times longer than wide (as fig 20). Surface on anterior part of metacoxae at internal margin rather smooth; broadened posterior part with a fine microsculpture, very finely punctured. Spurs of metatibiae large, unequal in length, longer one nearly reaching apex of metatarsal joint 1 (fig. 25). The latter very large, considerably longer than all next combined. Posterior margin of the last visible sternite of abdomen without nitches. Aedeagus as depicted (fig. 33). Length 1.6 mm. Lederia (Lederina) similis sp.n. Locality: Nepal, Phulchoki, 2600-2650 m, Quercus litter, 1 S (holotype) - 21-22.III.

1980. leg. MARTENS AUSOBSKY. - Paratypes 2 o with the same label; 1 6* from the same locality, but taken on 14.V.

1980. Holotype and two female paratypes deposited in the Senckenberg Museum, Frankfurt a.M., FRG. The male paratype has been retained for a subsequent deposition in the Zoological Museum of the Moscow University, USSR. Description: Body oval or oblong-oval, much convex, 1.79 to 1.89 times longer than wide. Colour red-brown or dark red-brown, meso-, metathorax and elytra often darker, dark red-brown or brown, elytra often with lighter apical parts and suturai area, antennae and maxillary palpi lighter, red-yellow. Surface more or less dull or slightly shining, clother with thin, decumbent, grey-yellowish pubescence. Head rather finely and densely punctured. Eyes reniform, distinctly emarginate anteriorly, interocular isthmus 1.25 to 1.40 times as large as height of eye. Maxillary palpi 4-jointed; joint 2 elongate, clearly longitudinal; joint 3 very slightly transversal or subequally long and wide,
