Two specimens, taken by Mr. H. W. Cox, appear to be the 

 sexes. The species belongs to my Section ii., and is intermediate 

 between Subsections B and C, the size, colour, and sculpture of 

 the elytra showing affinity to A. (jeminatnm Pasc, while the f«n-m 

 and sculpture of the prothorax are nearer those placed under 

 Subsection C. 



Adelium flavicorne, n.sp. 



Elongate-eliptic, black, with a violet tinge, very nitid above, 

 nitid black beneath; palpi, tarsi, and antennte (except the three 

 basal joints) pale yellow. 



I/ead and pronotuvi coarsely rugose-punctate, labrum prominent, 

 epistoma semicircular in front, limited behind by curved suture, 

 canthus prominently raised, head widest at the eyes, these large 

 and prominent, antennae very long, extending beyond the base of 

 prothorax, joint 3 about as long as 4 and 5 combined, cylindric; 

 joint 4 shorter than succeeding, 4-8 subcylindric, 9-10 elongate, 

 but more conical, 11 elongate-ovate, as long as, but not wider 

 than 10. Prothorax 3 x 4 mm., length measured in middle, 

 greatest width at middle, base and apex of nearly equal width, 

 anterior angles prominent, widely rounded and lobate, sides 

 widely and sinuately rounded, rather abruptly incurved poste- 

 riorly to meet the wide rectangular posterior angles, the anterior 

 half strongly crenulated, the extreme margin nodulose, but raised 

 and entire on posterior half; disc evidently canaliculate in ^, 

 this channel subobsolete in 9 specimen, base truncate and (like the 

 apex and sides) narrowly bordered, margins wide and foliated, and 

 less coarsely rugose than discal portion. Scntellum triangular and 

 smooth. Elytra wider than prothorax at base, oval and convex, 

 shoulders rounded, showing epipleural fold, sides slightly widening 

 to beyond the middle, then tapering finely to the apex; lineate- 

 punctate, with about ten lines of punctures on each elytron, the 

 punctures regularly spaced but of unequal size, the intervals with 

 elongate raised shining nodules, varying in size, and somewhat 

 irregularly placed {i.e., with some indications of a linear arrange- 

 ment), becoming coarser at the sides, and more conical towards
