Soekaranda. 



Of this species, there are seven specimens before me, all 

 of a fnscous grey colonr, and ol' robnst shape; in a Ibrmer paper 

 (»f mine on Phyfophaga from Burma (Genoa Annais) I have 

 ulready referred to the present species of which I however can 

 lind no deseription and nuist assume that I have overlooked to 

 describe it. S. utiicolor Jac. likewise from Sumatra exactly 

 resembles the present insect but must I thiuk lind its place in 

 another genus, since the palpi are slender and the elytral epipleurae 

 indistinct below the middle. the thorax is likewise of other shape. 

 ^\ bitnaculata Jac. is of nearly similar appearance. but the thorax 

 is longer, without the oblique posterior angies and is strongly 

 and rather closely punctured, the elytra have also a blue round 

 spot placed near the middle.
