lateral! and termiaates in the sixtli interspace ; this broad sutiiral vitta is continued 

 to the apex of the elytra by a thin sutaral line which occupies only half the 

 sutural interspace ; a discal stripe joins the sutural one at the basal margin 

 and terminates before the middle ; a rather broad lateral stripe runs from below 

 the shoulder parallel . with the outer margin to the apical sutural angle, the 

 inner edge of this line slightly irregular. Pygidium buff, with black, triangular, 

 median stripe which is about one-third the width of the pygidiuiu proximally. 



Underside white, apices of tibiae and of tarsal segments blackish. 



Length (exclusive of head) 17 mm. 



One S from the Andaman Islands. 



T. Acorynus flavipunctum spec. nov. 



Black ; the pubescence slate-colour and very short ; markings very inconspicuous, 

 with the exception of a rounded spot in front of the scutellnm, which is yellow. 



Rostrum not quite twice as long as it is broad at the base, with five carinae, 

 which are sharply defined from the base to near the apex, where tlio three median 

 carinae widen out and disappear, the middle one being the longest ; the lateral 

 carina joins the cariuiform edge of the antennal groove close to the apex of the 

 rostrum ; punctures in between the carinae and at the apex large. Frons anteriorly 

 in S a little narrower and in ? a little wider than the interspace between the 

 central carina and the next, mesially cariuate. Antenna black, segments 1-8 more 

 or less rnfescent at base and apex, 3 = 4 or even a little shorter, 9 twice 8, lo = 8. 



Pronotum longer than broad, densely punctured, especially at the sides, but 

 not rugate, no transverse groove ; a median dash behind apical margin, two 

 small spots towards the side one behind the other, a spot above the lateral 

 carina and another at the basal angle grey, inconspicuous, a spot before the 

 scutellnm much larger, yellow. 



Elytra more than half as long again as broad, rather strongly depressed at 

 base, the callosity therefore prominent anteriorly, slaty grey for the greater part, 

 with short black lines, which form on each elytrum a patch before and another 

 behind the middle, there being also some indistinct black spots at the side. 



Underside with very short slaty-grey pubescence. Tibiae with a s])ot proximally 

 to middle. Last abdominal steruite carinate in i. 



Length (exclusive of head) 0} to 8 mm. 



One c? and three ? ? from the Kina Balu, North Borneo. 



In facies similar to A.distiiKjaendiis Jord. (18U4) aud A. luteolutus Jord. (1804;. 



8. Acorynus homospilus spec. nov. 



S . In the markings of the upperside similar to .1. gporadis Jord. (l'Jil3), but 

 very ditl'erent in structure. 



Black, pubescence of upperside dark brown. Bostrum shorter than broad, 

 with three prominent dorsal carinae which terminate beyond centre, where the 

 rostrum is rather deeply impressed, the two lateral ones of them convergent 

 anteriorly, at sides a thinner carina which is separate from the cariniform edge 

 of the antennal groove. Frons anteriorly a little less than half the width of an 

 iutersjjace between the dorsal carinae of the rostrum, with a thin mesial carina ;
