18 COLEOPTERA CHLAMYDAE. 



lines, of which the most prominent are a basal sutural, and 

 another behind it, a basal median, a rather broken oblique 

 line from the humerus to the middle, ending in a transverse 

 tubercle directly behind the sutural, and two or three moder- 

 ately prominent costiform ones at the apex, the intervals are 

 strongly punctate, most prominently behind ; the velvety ap- 

 pearance is most marked in the discal part, the suture is 

 dentate, pygidium coarsely confluently punctate with a deep 

 elongate lateral fovae. 



I place this form near venusta Lac. Its colors are very 

 marked and prominent. 



Clilaniys capitata nov. sp. Oblong quadrate, opaque black, 

 head, antennae, mouth parts and legs rufous, a spot in the vertex and 

 clouds on the legs brown, thorax thickly punctate, with a large side 

 tubercle and deeply sulcate gibbosity, marked in front somewhat after 

 the manner of scrofa Lac. Elytra rather sparsely and coarsely punc- 

 tate, with broken elevated lines not prominent; pygidium tricarinate; 

 prosternum wide in front, gradually compressed to a sharp point 

 behind ; length 3i mm. 



Type. — c? ; Ha Lang (Lamey), China; two cf specimens. 



Head slightly convex, shiny, punctate, a slight depression 

 on the vertex occupied by a dark spot, antennae with 2d joint 

 globular obconic, joints 3 and 4 elongate and cylindrical, 

 club beginning with 5th joint and loosely articulate, trans- 

 verse, thorax moderately punctate, gibbosity declivous be- 

 hind at an angle of about thirty degrees, sulcate starting from 

 the rear margin, narrow and rather vague, becoming wider 

 and deeper to the apex, and then gradually fading away in 

 front, its side ridges break at the apex and split into elevated 

 lines, the median one becoming antelateral, looked at from 

 behind the ridges show as two tubercles, the side of the gib- 

 bosity shows a moderate swelling, and there is a well defined 

 lateral hump. Elytra with about the same lines as sctosa, 

 but not as well marked or as prominent, suture finely den- 

 tate in its posterior two-thirds, abdomen finely punctate with 

 an ill-marked side tubercle, the three carinae of the pygidium 

 are nearly entire, the lateral ones excurved at the top. The 

 distinguishing features are the red head and structure of the 

 antennae.
