BY KARL JORDAN, Pii.D. 



1. Xenocerus lautus spec. nov. 



?. Black, densely covered with a clayish tomentuiu, marked with black. 

 A mesial band on head, a spot behind eye, a kind of X on each side of pronotnm 

 formed by two lines extending from apex to base and connected laterally behind 

 apex and at the carina with a snbventral vitta, on elytra a patch ronnd scntellnm, 

 shonlder-angle, a lateral sjmt at basal fourth, an irregular dorsal patch on each 

 elytrum, and nnmerous dots in the alternate interspaces, a mesial vitta at 

 the apex of the pygidium, an irregular mesial stripe and some lateral spots on 

 breast and abdomen, a spot on femora near base, a minute one near aj)ex, a 

 spot near base of tibiae, apex of tibiae and tarsal segments and of ninth antenual 

 segment, part of antennal segments 1 to 7 and the whole tenth and eleventh, black. 



Head with a deep mesial sulcus, which extends on to rostrum, where it 

 is forked by the interposition of a short mesial carina, which is itself divided 

 again by an apical mesial groove. Antenna reaching bevdnd shoulders, segment 8 

 one-third shorter than 4, = 4, 11 one-fourth shorter than 3. Pronotnm 

 longer than broad, flattened above, nearly straight at sides from base to the end 

 of the lateral carina, suddenly constricted. Elytra cylindrical, not depressed, 

 finely striped. Pygidium transversely impressed at apex. Prosternum with deep 

 angulated furrow before the coxae ; mesosternal process narrow, snlcate, triangular. 

 First foretarsal segment nearly half the length of the tibia. 



Length, 25 mm. 



Hah. Mauson Mts., Tonkin, 20ti0— 30(h.i ft., Ajiril— May (Fruhstorfer). 



1 ?. 



Nearest to A', everetti (1894) Jord. The species bears a close culour- 

 resemblance to Eugigas harmanrii (1891) Lesne. 



~. Mecotropis cylindricus spec. nov. 



S. Black, covered with a dense cinereous tomentnm, irregularly spotted 

 with black; sides of head and protliorax more extended black than cinereous, 

 a jiatch above and another below shoulder black, black dots in middle of elytra 

 ]>artly merged together to form an ill-detined jiatch; tarsal segments cinereous 

 in basal half. 



Middle sulcus of rostrum extending beyond eyes ; antennal groove prolonged 

 to eye, accomjianied abovc^ by a carina. Eye truncate in front, very feebly 

 emarginate, not sinuate as it is in marmoreus (1894) Jord. Second segment 

 of antenna reaching middle of eye. Prothorax as in fruhstorferi (1894) Jord. 

 Elytra cylindrical, not depressed at suture. Pygidium broader than long. The 

 two grooves on underside of rostrum )(-shaiied, but separate. Prosternum with 

 deep transverse sulcus, which is angnlate, not interrupted. Anal segment truncate. 

 An olive-brown velvety double spot in middle of metasternnm. 



Length, 19 mm. 



Ilab. Mauson Mts., Tonkin, 20uo — yiiun ft., April, May (Fruhstorfer).
