which convei'i^e inpa-kedly behind and vanish before the middle, 

 and in addition a short obhque carina on each side, which reaches 

 the lateral margin anteriorly and vanishes a little behind the inner 

 carina?. The pale elytral spot is very oblique, narrow and in- 

 conspicuous. The abdomen is slightly hollowed at the base 

 heneath, and the hind tibiae are strongly dilated at the end. 



2 . The body is more elongate and parallel- sided, and entirely 

 clothed with pinkish silvery scales, amongst which the pale elytral 

 spot is very inconspicuous. The propygidium is very wide, 

 hoi'izontal and broadly prominent in the middle. The abdomen 

 is convex, the hind tibifie not dilated at the end, and the tarsi 

 short.

Tlae species was described by Dr. Gestro from pale-coloured 

 (perhaps rather immature) male specimens. A siugle female 

 found at the same time as the series of ten males appears to me 

 almost certainly to belong to the species.

Dai'k bi'own, clothed with reddish-brown scales above and 

 lighter scales beneath, the elytral suture and a narrow transverse

The form is short and broad. The protliorax is leather quadrate, 

 with the anterior part prominent in the middle, the posterior 

 angles very blunt and the base not dilated. The discoidal cariuse 

 form a loop in front, they do not strongly converge behind and 

 are interrupted before the middle, reappearing behind the middle 

 and again before the base. The lateral carinic are strong but do 

 not reach the margins. The scutellum is broad at the base and 

 strongly triangular. The elytra are broad and the lateral costa 

 is prominent at the posterior end. The propyyidium is gently 

 excised at the middle of the hind margin. The hind tibia and the 

 first joint of the hind tarsus are dilated at the end. 



cJ . The prothorax is shorter and more quadrate than that of 

 the female, and is slightly emarginate before the scutellum. The 

 hind extremity of the elytral costa bears a tuft of hairs.
