of elytrnm with three Mark tnfts,the second and third farther back than in icallacei 

 and much farther apart from one another; a hhick dot before apex, three black 

 raised dots in interspace 5, the first between tnfts 2 and 3 of third interspace, 

 seventh and ninth interspaces dotted with black in apical half. Antenna reaching 

 base of elytra, of the type of that of a ?, segment 2 as long as 1, 3 nearly 

 three times as long as 2. Eye less deeply sinuate than in irallacei. 



Length, 9 mm.

1 7. Caccorhinus obscurus spec. nov. 



(? ? . Black; antenna rufous ; legs and the light pubescent parts of the body 

 rufcscent. Pubescence black-brown, mixed with clay ; alternate interspaces of 

 elytra tesselated with brown and clay ; tibiae (except base and apex) and first 

 segment of mid- and hindtarsi clay ; sides of abdomen more densely j)ubescent 

 than middle. 



Rostrum nearly three times as long as broad, with basal mesial impression. 

 False mentnm very shallowly sinuate, the edge mesially feebly convex, the 

 lateral angles produced forwards. Antennal segments 2 to 8 short, 3 not longer 

 than 2, a very little shorter than .5, 7 and 8 thicker than the preceding ones, 

 and 10 a little darker in colour than the others, 9 one-third longer than broad, 

 shorter than 11. Prothorax of nearly the same shape as in lateripictus (1895) 

 Jord., a little narrower at base. Elytra cylindrical, not distinctly depressed along 

 snture, punctate-striate, the alternate interspaces faintly elevate. Prosternum 

 short, transversely impressed at apex. Metasternum granulose in middle in c?, 

 abdomen of 6 impressed, last two segments of ? granulose. Foretarsus somewhat 

 dilated in c?, first segment not longer than second. 



Length, 6 to 8i mm.

18. Apolecta tonkiniana spec. nov. 



S . Black ; head and jirniidtnm with a clay vitta on each side above, separated 

 on pronotum into spots ; elytra and underside of body clay ; a transverse band 

 beyond middle of elytra, narrowed and subinterrupted laterally, two subbasal 

 dots on each elytrum, a lateral one at basal third and a subapical one, black : 

 the elytra, moreover, indistinctly dotted with olive. Pygidium clay-colour, with 

 black mesial vitta. Prosternum olivaceous, clayish laterally above coxa. Abdomen 

 with a row of olive lateral dots. Femora olive-black. Tibiae black in apical 

 half or tliird. Tarsi black ; basal two-thirds of first segment jiubescent-clay. 



Mesial carina of head and rostrum distinct. Pronotum with raised mesial 

 line, cariniform in apical half; pimcturation rather dense, but punctures smaller 

 than interspaces ; carina as in aspericollis (1879) Kirsch, but the curve of the 

 dorsal carina rather more flat. Elytra subcylindrical, scarcely depressed above, 

 gradually declivous behind, much less abruptly than in asper/col/if: and depressi- 

 pennis. Prosternum punctured all over. Abdominal segments 1 to 4 each with 

 two tubercles in middle, 5 hairy.
