S- -I. iiiger, ciuereo-olivaceo-jmbescens, signaturis liacce pube deusius obtectis 

 notatus, nempe : macula infraociilari, tribus vittis inconspicuis prothoracicalibus, 

 clvtroruni iiiterstitiis basi, tertio postico, niatula suturali auteinediana, fascia augunta 

 obliqua nieiliaua intra inargiueni pxtenium et iiitcrspatiuni tertiuui. 



Rostrum prothorace parum brevius, sat planatuni medio paium profundatum 

 dorso tricarinulatum, carina media caeteris minus elevata, omnibus intra antennas 

 abbreviata, lateribus (intra oculos et anteuuarum sulcos) bicarinulatum, his carinulis 

 convergent ibus longe post antennas confluis. Oculi subovati, antice approximali. 

 Frons angusta profundata ; vertex antice levissime carinatus. Antennae protboracis 

 basim paulo superantes ; articulis (piatuor basalibus rulis, apice brunneis, caeteris 

 brunneis liasi extrema rufa, tribus ultimis nigris ; ;5" quarto suliaequali, 5° ad 8"'" 

 gradatim decrescentibus, 9" octavo vix, decinio dimidio longiore, sed ultimo breviore. 



Protborax longitudiue dimidio latior, retrorsum recte ampliatus, ruguloso- 

 punctatus, sine sulculo trans\erso dorsali : carina dorso fortiter biflexuosa, lateribus 

 recte antrorsum (hand versus inferum) flexa, angulo recto. Elytra con\'exa, striato- 

 punctata, interstitio tertio postice elevato, margine basali depresso. 



Pygidium breve, lateribus parallelum, apice rotundatum. .Metasternum 

 punctatum, medio impressione notatum. Tibiae cum tarsis brunneo-nigrae, posticae 

 apice nigro-pubescentes, anticae ai)ice calcare sat lato, intermediae calcare triangular! 

 acuto armatae. 



Long, (iff mm., rostr. If, elytr. 4^, hit. 3. 



Hah. Kuilu (A. Mocquerys, 1892). 



In pattern this form resembles A. geometricwa sp. nov., but is (juite different in 

 the s-tructure of rostrum and protborax ; the spurs at the apex of the four anterior 

 tibiae may be sexual. 



II. SPECIES LNDICAE. 



44. Acorynus striolatus sp. nov. 



?. A. sulcirostn SchOnh., similis, .sed antennis gracilioribus, articulo penultimo 

 [larum longiore ; prothoracis carina dorsali medio parum fortius sinuata ; elytris 

 retrorsum sensius angustatis, striis usque ante apicem distincte jmnctatis, multis 

 brevibus lineolis, sicut guttulis in .specie aulcifrons dicta dispositis, notatis; pygidio 

 sine signatura basali-laterali, parum angustiore; abdomine segmento ultimo (?) apice 

 conspicue bi.sinuato, angulo intra sinus ])arum recurvato piloso ; tibiis anticis apice 

 intus baud dilatatis. 



Long. 11 mm., rostr. 2|, elytr. 7i, lal. 4.',. 



JIab. Perak. 



This species is less robust than A. sulcirostfia SchOnh., chiefly owing to the 

 elytra being more attenuated behind ; pattern of the elytra almost the same as in 

 A. sulcirostris, but the small dots of grey ijubescence which form short rows in the 

 stripes of the elytra of A. sidciro-ilris nre coalesct^'d to short linear markings in the 

 new .species. The anal segment, which is rounded at the apex in the feiiude of 

 A. sulcirostris, is conspicuously bisinuate in ^-1. striolatus s[). nov.
