except down the middle and along the basal margin ; the elytra witli a large, 

 common, posteriorly narrowed space on the disc extending from the base to 

 beyond the middle (not reaching the humeri and outer margin, and enclosing a 

 dark streak), an oblique mark on the inner part of the disc before the apex, and 

 the outer margin in part, testaceous, for the rest fuscous ; the head and prothorax 

 densely, finely, tlie elytra more coarsely and irregularly, punctate, the punctures 

 on the latter vinequal in size. Head transverse, convex, the eyes very large and 

 narrowly separated ; antennae long, filiform, not very slender, joints 2 and 3 

 short, sub-equal, 4-11 elongate. Prothorax broad, strongly transverse, semi- 

 circular, sinviate and margined at the base, the disc longitudinally depressed in 

 the middle behind, and broadly, transversely depressed in front of each of the 

 almost obsolete basal foveae. Elytra long, wider than the prothorax, rapidly 

 narrowed from aboiit the middle, narrow and rounded at the apex, broadly 

 depressed below the base. Legs long, rather stout ; penultimate tarsal joint 

 lobed. Length 4;^, breadth li mm. ( cJ ?)

One specimen. March larger and more elongate than S. lunulata 

 Blackb., the pallid anterior mark on each elytron united into a large 

 common patch which extends forwards to the base, the sculpture not 

 so coarse, the elytra rapidly narrowed posteriorly, the legs and antennae 

 much longer. The fifth ventral segment is entiie. S. pallidonotata 

 Pic, from Darjoeling, seems to have very similarly maculate elytra. 



12. — 8crar>tia fusconotata, n. sp. 

 (Plate VII, fig. 8, ^ .) 



Elongate, narrow, fusiform, shining, flavo-pubescent ; testaceous, the eyes 

 black, the elytra sometimes with the suture at the base, an oblong patch at the 

 sides, and a spot on the disc before the apex, more or less infuscate ; closely, 

 rather coarsely, punctate. Head transverse, broad, convex, narrowly extended on 

 each side behind the eyes, the latter large, narrowly separated in ^ , more distant 

 in 9 , the frontal sutvu-e distinct ; apical joint of maxillary palpi sub-ciiltriform ; 

 antennae very long in cJ , a little shorter in 9 > rather slender, filiform, joints 2 

 and 3 in both sexes short, sub-equal, together not so long as 4, 4-11 elongate^ 

 11 shorter than 10. Prothorax transverse, gradually, arcuately narrowing from 

 the sharp hind-angles, the base sinuate, the two foveae shallow, the disc more 

 or less hollowed down the middle posteriorly. Elytra long, scarcely wider 

 than the prothorax, narrowing from a little below the base, somewhat acumi- 

 nate in g , the apices more rounded in $ , the disc obliquely depressed 

 anteriorly. Ventral segment 5 arcuate-em arginate at the apex, 6 divided into 

 two rather broad, straight lobes, and the aedeagus slender, in g . Legs very 

 long ; penultimate tarsal joint small, feebly lobed. Length 3|-4, breadth 

 11-1 A mm. (c? ¥■)
