A New Species

A new genus of enigmatic tribe Physocrotaphini, Physoglossus gen. nov., with a new species Ph. devagiriensis sp. nov. from a dry deciduous forest in the rain shadow belt of the south Western Ghats in south west India is described. Presence of mentum with bifid median tooth and large oval depression with dense patch of filamentous setae on 2nd and 3rd male sternites makes it intermediate to the Physocrotaphini genera, Pogonoglossus, Foveocrotaphus and Physocrotaphus. Key words: new ground beetle species, Anthiinae, the Western Ghats, India

Streblus Asper

This paper describes the fruiting phenology and avian frugivory of Streblus asper (Moraceae) in a mixed dry deciduous forest, Anaikatty hills, Western Ghats. Fruiting occurred during April-June. Nine species of birds were found to feed on the ripe fruits of this species. Bulbuls (3 species) belonging to Pycnonotidae, followed by two species of Myna (Sturnidae) made majority of the feeding visits and appear to be the major seed dispersers of this species
