224. Dasyvalgus trisinuatus. 



Valgus trisinuatus, Gestro* Ann. Mus. Genova, (2) x, 1891, p. 860. 



Chestnut-red, clothed all over with coarse erect yellowish setae, 

 each elytron marked more or less evidently with a small black 

 spot, having a few yellow scales adjoining it. 



It is a small species, with the prothorax relatively rather large. 

 The head bears two tufts upon the vertex. The sides of the pro- 

 thorax are nearly straight, slightly converging to the front, where 

 the angles are prominent. There are two strong, nearly parallel, 

 dorsal cariuae, prominent at the front margin and terminating 

 behind in two well-marked tufts behind the middle of the pro-- 

 notum, which has also four tufts close to the base. The scntellum 

 is not long. The elytra are rather deeply striated and each has a 

 well-marked lateral costa, tufted at the end ; the hind margins 

 are nearly straight and the angles sharp. There are two rather 

 distant tufts at the hind margin of the j)ro^>y^«(?Mf)?i and the 

 terminal spiracles are sharply prominent. The p)l/gidinm is very 

 coarsely and shallowly pitted. The front tibia is rather broad 

 and armed with five nearly equidistant teeth, the 1st and 3rd 

 much longer than the rest. The first joint of the hind tarsus is 

 more than half as long again as the second. 



c? . The tarsi are much longer and more slender than those of

225. Dasyvalgas hystrix, sp. n. 



Chestnut-red, clothed with yellow scales beneath, and above 

 with intermixed yellow, orange and black scales, which are un- 

 evenly distributed and more or less erect. The yellow and orange 

 scales are dense upon the back of the head, the pronotum, jjro- 

 pygidium, pygidium, and the front and hind margins of the elytra, 

 and the last have also a small patch of black scales near the 

 middle of each and a few at the shoulders and apical calli. 



The body is short and the legs are slender. The clypeus is 

 strongly bilobed and the forehead crested. The prothorax is much 

 narrower than the elytra together, the sides are strongly rounded.
