CELEBIA SUTURALIS. 85 



Celebia suturalis, sp. n. 



C. oblongo-ovata ,'^' nigra , squamulis rufescentibus in- 

 duta; elytris sutura lineisque tribus dorsalibus, altera 



Hab. Timor, Flores. 



Stouter than the above , the elytra broader in proportion and with the or- 

 dinary punctuation, the scales more closely set — especially beneath and on 

 the legs — more greyish than white, and with numerous pale setse on all 

 parts; the sculpture of the rostrum and prothorax is somewhat variable, jud- 

 ging from the three specimens before me, one from Timor (Q) has a well- 

 marked median groove on the former and three or four short impressions on 

 each side, and on the prothorax, which is decidedly transverse , an abbreviated 

 central groove, the male from the same island has a much narrower protho- 

 rax with a cross-shaped central impression; in the specimen from Flores the 

 median groove on the rostrum does not extend to the head , and the protho- 

 rax has a short transverse impression on each side without a median longitu- 

 dinal groove. 



Each of the following species depart in their general appearance from the 

 above — and from each other — although their technical characters will scar- 

 cely, in my opinion, allow of their generic separation. 



Ihj seller es macularius, sp. n. 



D. angustior, niger, squamulis albis, aliis infuscatis maculatiiu varus, sat 

 dense tectus; prothorace dorso inaequali, baud sulcato, lateribus leviter rotun- 

 datis; elytris striato-punctatis , apicibus subacuminatis. — Long. 4 lin. 



Eab. Arabia (Yemen). 



Narrowish, black, rather closely covered with white, more or less distinctly 

 spotted with blackish-brown, scales; head and rostrum with a well-marked 

 median groove, a short curved groove on each side below the eye; antenuEe 

 black, sparsely covered with white seta3, scape short, funicle more than twice 

 as long, its two basal joints longest; prothorax apparently rather longer than 

 broad, disc slightly concave on each side of the median line followed by a 

 blackish denuded stripe, the sides a trifle rounded but not deflected; scutellum 

 scaly, inconspicuous; elytra convex, nearly parallel on the sides, the posterior 

 third rounded to the apex, which is only slightly produced, sti-iate-punctate , 

 punctures distinct, moderately approximate; beneath and legs scaly with scat- 

 tered slender white setse; intermediate coxse more approximate than in the 

 preceding. 



Dyscheres rugosus, sp. n. 



D. ellipticus, fuscus, squamulis roseis maculatim indutus; prothorace rugoso, 

 trisulcato; elytris confertira grosse punctatis; oculis prominentibus. — Long. 

 54. lin.
