242 CETONIIN^. 



in front and a little contracted behind, the dorsal carinae are not 

 very strongly marked, and there are eight prominent tufts of 

 orange-coloured sette forming two transA-erse series. The scutelhvm 

 is rather long. The ehjtm are rather indistinctly striated and 

 separately rounded at the hind margins. The terminal spiracles 

 are not sharp, but the jrropygidium bears two large yellow tufts 

 at its posterior edge. The front tibia bears five well-developed 

 teeth, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd being very long and sharp. The first 

 joint of the hind tarsus is nearly twice the length of the second.

Type in the British Museum. 



226. Dasyvalgus fulvicauda, sp. u. 



Black, with the propygidium, pygidium and end of the abdomen 

 beneath red ; clothed with minute dark setae and yellow scales, 

 the latter forming four longitudinal crests at the base of the pro- 

 notum and a patch beneath each hind angle, and being rather 

 closely aggregated at the anterior and sutural parts of the elytra 

 and upon the propygidium and pygidium. 



The body is rather short and the legs are slender. The head 

 imCi pronotum are deeply and closely pitted, the head has a traus- 

 verse crest upon the vertex and the pronotum has two rather 

 widely separated carinae, ending in a pair of tufts behind the 

 middle, a short anterior carina between the two former and a 

 short outer one on each side near the middle ; the sides are 

 strongly rounded in front and the hind angles rounded off. The 

 scutellum is narrow and pointed. The elytra are rather indistinctly 

 striated, the shoulders and apical calli are tufted, and the hind 

 margins are separately rounded. The terminal spiracles are 

 moderately prominent, and the p>ropygidium bears a pair of rather 

 distant tufts at the hind margin. The front tibia has the 1st, 2nd, 

 and 3rd teeth long and acute and the 4th very obtuse. The first 

 joint of the hind, tarsus is twice the length of the second. 



Length 4'5-5'5 mm.; breadth 2-5-3 mm.

227. Dasyvalgus ovicoUis, sp. n. 



Brick-red, with the sternum dark and the pygidium and pro- 

 pygidium densely, the lower surface, pronotum, and scutelkim 

 less densely, clothed with ochreous scales, and the elytra deco- 

 rated as follows : — a dense patch of ochreous scales, more or less 

 completely divided into two, at the middle of each, with similarly 

 dense patches of black scales immediately adjoining before and 

 behind, the yellow scales also occurring more irregularly at the 

 front and hind margins and near the suture. There are small
