pubescence; prothorax at sides, base, apex, and along middle 

 with yellowish pubescence, in places mixed with white ; elytra 

 with short stripes of whitish pubescence on each of the 

 interstices, causing an appearance as of three feeble somewhat 

 curved fasciae, one at base, one behind middle and one at apex. 



Eijes large, convex, distant. Rostrum short, stout, straight; 

 densely punctate ; longitudinally grooved. Antennse short, 

 inserted in middle of rostrum; scape slightly longer than club 

 and much shorter than funicle; 1st joint of the latter almost 

 twice the length of 2nd. Protliorax large, depressed along apex 

 of median line and subcarinate at base; a distinct impression on 

 each side at base and a feebler one on each side of middle. 

 Scutellum strongly transverse. Elytra slightly wider than pro- 

 thorax; feebly granulate; interstices moderately wide and feebly 

 convex. Propygidium large ; pygidium noncarinate. Eegs 

 moderately long ; four posterior femora feebly, the anterior 

 moderately strongly dentate; claw-joint very distinct. Length 

 3i, rostrum f ; width 14 mm.

One specimen is considerably larger (4i mm.) and its clothing 

 is of a dingy white. The species is very close to qiierulus, Pascoe, 

 from which, however, it differs in the insertion of the antenna;, 

 basal impressions of prothorax shallower, 3rd tarsal joint 

 narrower, »tc. I do not know the 9-

Black; antennae, knees, tibise and tarsi red. Upper surface 

 irregularly and rather sparsely clothed with moderately long 

 yellowish pubescence. 



Eyes rather large, round, convex, distant. Rostrum short, 

 stout, almost straight; densely punctate and feebly grooved at 

 base, shining and almost impunctate on apical half. Antennae 

 short, inserted in middle of rostrum: scape the length of club but 

 shorter than funicle; 1st joint of the latter distinctly longer and 

 stouter than 2nd. Prothorax feebly carinate in middle, depressed 

 along median line towards apex; a feeble depression on each side
