674 ( - ). HYPOCCELIODES ULKKI Dietz, 1896, 413. 



Pitchy-brown, above sparsely clothed with white scales, forming a 

 spot on thorax in front of each obtuse lateral tubercle and a cruciform 

 scutellar spot and ill-defined spots and bands on elytra; humeri white; an- 

 tennee and tarsi brownish-yellow. Beak cylindrical, striate and punctured 

 on basal half, pubescent throughout. Thorax nearly one-half wider than 

 long, sides broadly rounded; ocular lobes prominent; disc closely punctured, 

 the dorsal channel distinct only on basal half. Elytral striae deep, wide, 

 closely punctured; alternate intervals wider, punctate. Length 2.7 mm.

 thorax with prominent ocular lobes but without lateral tubercles ;, 

 front coxae prominent, hind ones widely separated; claws armed 



with a long tooth. 



KEY TO SPECIES OF ACALLODES.

675 (8836). ACALLODES VEXTRICOSTS Lee., 1876, 272. 



Ovate, strongly convex. Dark reddish-brown, thinly clothed with 

 narrow whitish hair-like scales which form pale median and lateral lines 

 on thorax and an elongate white scutellar spot, a sub-oblique cross-bar 

 before the middle and a transverse one on apical third of elytra, the space 

 between the two bars a little darker; antenna? and tarsi pale reddish 

 brown. Beak stout, curved, as long as thorax, slightly widened toward 

 tip, strongly punctured, glabrous. Thorax slightly wider near base than 

 long, sides rounded on basal half, disc broadly constricted near apex, densely 

 and coarsely punctate. Elytra at base scarcely wider than thorax, distinct- 

 ly longer than wide, widest behind the middle, thence rapidly converging to 

 the conjointly rounded apex; striae deep, coarsely punctured; intervals con- 

 vex, rugose. Length 2.8 4 mm. (Fig. 101, D. )
