Hah. Buru, Aru, Beccari. 



Allied to S. obscurus, Bois. {Calandra) but more narrowly 

 elliptical , tlie alternate interstices raised , etc. I have S. obscurus 

 from Tahiti, and Australia, the latter from a French collection. 



The species from Aru appears to be a variety.

 riigineuin, basi vittis subaureo-tomentosis induto; antennae nigrescentes ; 

 clava articulo basali breviusculo; prothorax oblongus, nigi-o-fuscus, punctis 

 cinctis adspersus, ad latera vitta conspicua albido-tomentosa ornatus; scu- 

 telluni anguste triangulare; elytra fulvo-rufa, singulo ante medium macula

Hab. Sarawak, Doria and Beccari. 



A well-marked species at once distinguished by a conspicuous 

 whitish silky stripe on each side of the disc of the prothorax.

 antenna; nigrescentes; clava articulo basali longiusculo; prothorax in medio

 mora sat fortiter clavata, dente majusculo armata; tibiae baud sulcatae, 

 anticse intus basi profunde sinuatae. Long. 12 ram. 



Hab. Aru, Beccari. 



It would be perhaps convenient to separate this and the 

 above and a few other (undescribed) species from Sphenophorus 

 on account of their davate and toothed femora combined with 

 a well-marked fades. Many of the Calandrinm are covered with 

 a whitish farinose exsudation probably disappearing after a time, 

 as that colour must be taken with a caution. This species dif- 

 fers, inter alia, from S. De-Haanii in its punctuation.
