DASYTALGUS. 243 



black tufts upon the humeral and apical calli, and orange-coloured 

 tufts placed, two upon the dorsal carinse of the pronotum, two 



near the hind angles and two at the 

 hind margin of the propygidium. 



The body is moderately broad and 

 the legs are long. The protliorax is 

 ovate, gently and continuously rounded 

 at the sides and base, with the hind 

 angles almost entirely obliterated and 

 the front angles not much produced. 

 There are two long and nearly parallel 

 dorsal carinas. The scutellum is very 

 long, narrow and blunt. The ehjtra 

 are separately rounded at the hind 

 margins. The terminal spiracles are 

 sharp but not long. The 1st, 2nd 

 and 3rd teeth of the front tibia are 

 Fi<r. 56. very sharp, the 4th obtuse, and the 



Lasyvalgiii omcollis. oth strong but not acute. The tarsi 



are very slender, and the basal joint 

 in the hind foot is as long as the two succeeding ones. 

 I have only seen males. 

 Length 6-7 mm. ; breadth 3-4 mm.

228. Dasyvalgus penicillatus. 



Valgus penicillatus, Blanch.* Cat. Col. Mus. Paris, 1850, p. 45. 



Black, clothed beneath, rather uniformly but not densely, with 

 minute yellow scales, and above with larger scales closely packed 

 upon the propygidium and pygidium and less uniformly upon the 

 pronotum and elytra, where they are interspersed with spots and 

 patches of dark scales and setfe. The yellow scales of the elytra 

 are most numex'ous near the suture and in a patch placed behind 

 the middle of the outer edge, and there is a round patch of dark 

 scales on each side of the suture before the middle. 



The body is a little elongate and the legs are slender. The 

 diipeus is notched at the front margin and there are two tufts 

 placed transversely upon the forehead. The prothorax has the 

 sides strongly rounded in front, nearly parallel behind, the hind 

 angles distinct and the base regularly rounded. The dorsal caringe 

 are parallel, moderately sharp in front, and terminate in two 

 strong tufts behind the middle ; there are also four tufts near 

 the base. The scatellurti is long and narrow, and the elytra are 

 tufted at the shoulders and apical calli and separately rounded 

 at the hind margins. The terminal spiracles are only slightly 

 prominent, and the projjygidium bears a pair of rather distant 

 yellow tufts at its hind margin. The front tibia is moderately 

 long, the 1st and 3rd teeth very long and sharp, and the others
