714 REVISION OF THE* AMYCTERIDES, iv., 



irregularis Macl. One of the two specimens bore three names — 

 elongatus, lachrymosus, and Spencei—o^nd was also marked "com- 

 pared with type", which type was not indicated. There was also 

 a note, which I attributed to Pascoe(I do not now remember on 

 what authority) — "Judging from notes, this should be the ^ of 

 insect named Spencei in Hope's Collection— my lachrymosus var." 

 I have not now a female of »S'. irregularis available for compari- 

 son with the description of *S'. Spencei, but do not think it at all 

 likely that the two species are identical. S. elongatus is certainly 

 distinct from ^S*. Spencei and S. irregularis, and belongs to 

 Section ii.

9. Large, robust, elongate-ovate. Clothing moderately dense, 

 yellow, variegate with white, prothorax trivittate, a triangular 

 brown patch present on each side of middle of head; beneath, 

 feebly maculate with cinereous at sides and in the centre of each 

 segment, apical segment more uniformly clothed. 



Head separated from rostrum by a moderately well defined 

 transverse impression; centre of forehead subcarinate, lightly 

 impressed on either side, external ridges not carinate on head. 

 Rostrum as wide as head, external ridges subparallel; median 

 carina conspicuous, rather broad, a small fovea present at junc- 

 tion with head; sublateral sulci rather deep at base, becoming 

 shallower anteriorly. Eyes subovate. Prothorax (6 x 7*5mm.) 

 widest in front of middle, not greatly ampliate; ocular lobes well 

 defined; disc with feeble median and sublateral impressions; set 

 with isolated, rather small, somewhat depressed, briefly elongate 

 granules; sides with granules smaller and rounded, extending 

 almost to coxse. Elytra (15 x 10 mm.) subparallel on sides to 

 beyond, thence rather strongly narrowed to apex, each elytron 

 separately produced at apex, mucroniform, dehiscent ; base 

 evenly and gently marginate, humeri noduliform, not greatly 

 produced. Disc with rows of small, rather shallow, but moder- 

 ately well defined punctures, each subtended by a fine setigerous 

 granule. Interstices feebly raised, with small elongate tubercles;
