they are strongly declivous; the apices are obliquely truncate 

 and very faintly emarginated towards the suture; on each ely- 

 tron there is a distinct lateral median fuscous plaga , which , 

 towards the upper side, has a convex margin and is surrounded 

 by a rather broad arcuate band of an ashy-white or fulvous- white 

 colour. The posterior declivous portion of the elytra is also in 

 the middle more or less ashy or pale-fulvous in colour. The 

 punctuation of the elytra is rather strong, and is arranged some- 

 what in rows, which on the middle of the disk are separated 

 by slightly raised lines. 



This species may be recognized by the absence of a basal 

 tuft or tubercle from the elytra, taken with its rather distinct 

 style of marking. 



As it seems impossible to fix upon any definite characters 

 which separate Praonetha from Pterolophia, I have been obliged 

 to treat the first of these names as a synonym.

Glothed with a brownish or fulvous-brown pubescence , with 

 a few paler patches, and with many small points and a few 

 spots of a dark velvety brown colour. Head moderately concave 

 between the antennal tubercles. Prothorax transverse, sides 

 nearly straight and very sligthly diverging from the base to 

 within a short distance of the anterior margin where they be- 

 come constricted ; the disk transversely sinuately impressed near 

 the apex, with a fine and straight transverse groove just before 

 the base, and with a broad and rather faint depression along 

 the middle; on either side of this depression there is a small
