fourth interspace accompanied laterally by a transverse spot, then follow a short dash 

 near suture, an irregular spot on apical declivity and a small spot near sutural 

 angle. Pygidium as long as broad, flat, but the apex gently carved upwards. 



Underside grey, bnffish at sides. Legs grey, slightly rufons at knee-joint, apex 

 of tibia,e black like the tarsi, first tarsal segment pro.ximally grey. 



Length (exclusive of head) mm. 



One ? from Perak. 



39. Sympaector miltinus spec. nov. 



?. In facies similar to Acorijiius rufus Jord. (1894) and allies. 



Nearest to S. nigromaculatiis Jord. (1894), being, like that species, rufesccnt 

 and bearing black spots on the npperside. Rostrum, head and antenna as in 

 S. niqromaciilatu.f, the rostrum a little wider in proximal half. 



Pronotum narrower in posterior half than in .S'. nlyromaculatm, therefore less 

 conically narrowed anteriorly ; transverse discal groove deep ; dorsal carina dis- 

 tinctly convex, but curved backwards in centre, the lateral angle more obtuse 

 than in S. nigromaculatus and less projecting laterad ; two black dorsal vittae, 

 not reaching apex, of nearly even width throughout, being slightly constricted 

 at the transverse groove and more strongly at the carina, each vitta about half 

 the width of the interspace which separates them ; lateral carina less oblique than 

 in S. ni<iromttCidaius. 



Elytra more convex and less conical than in the allied species, with the 

 following black markings : a spot on suture before middle, another on subbasal 

 callosity, a third and a fourth at the lateral margin, one of them placed at basal 

 third and the other behind middle, all more or less circular, before apex and 

 well separated from it a transverse banil, not interrupted, narrowest at margins, 

 widest at suture. 



Underside uniformly pubescent, the pubescence as on npperside )-ellowish 

 in certain lights ; prosternite with black dot placed in front of and below the apex 

 of the lateral carina. 



Length (exclusive of head) 8| mm. 



One ? from " Borneo." 



40. Sympaector pagis siiec. nov. 



Brown ; the style of marking as in <S'. aiignUfi'i- Walk. (1859) and lohiUheadi 

 Jord. (1895). Rostrum rufesceut, rugose, slightly depressed along middle, dorsally 

 with a thin carina on each side between the antennae, no cariuae in basal third ; 

 maxillary palpus thick, short, second segment twice as broad as it is long, third 

 much more obtuse than in the allied species. Antennal grooves at two-thirds 

 or three-fifths from base, ojjen dorsally. Genal groove open at eye. A white 

 dorsu-lateral streak on rostrum continuous with the sides of the head, frons and 

 border of eye also white. Antenna rather thick, black, segments 1, 2, two-thirds of 

 3 and extreme base of 4 rufous, 1 longer than 3, this shorter than 4 and following, 

 the dilference in length between segments 4 — 11 not considerable, apex of antenna 

 luteous white. 



Prothorax nearly twice as broad as long, with transverse groove on notum, the 

 latter bearing five sharply-marked white vittae, one in centre^ and two on each 

 side, tiiese confluent in front and behind and one of them bordering tiie lateral
