STICTOBURA. 201 



strife; the underside is deeply punctate, the metasternum im- 

 pressed, the fovea very deeply punctate; elytra black with the 

 margin, apex, and an irregular pattern red; this figure consists 

 of a vitta parallel to the suture and 2 external transverse branches 

 dilated at their ends. L. 11 lin. Japan (Lewis). 



Sticholotis Confucii. 



Lotis Confucii, Muls. Spec. p. 1036. 1. 



Canton (Hope), Sarawak (Wallace). This latter locality 

 throws some doubt on the other ; certainly Wallace's specimen 

 (for which I am indebted to Mr Saunders) agrees accurately with 

 Mulsant's description, but he has not noticed the 2 external striae; 

 traces of 9 stria? exist on the whole. 



Sticholotis punctatus, sp. n. 



Resembles S. substriatus in all respects, except that it is a 

 little smaller, more coarsely and closely punctured, with no trace 

 of the stria?; the thorax and margins of the elytra pitchy black. 

 Japan (Lewis), found with the preceding, under leaves at a height 

 of 2000 ft. 



Bura. 



Mtds. Spec. p. 419 (typ. cuprea). 



Evidently allied to Pentilia, but with very coarse unequal 

 punctuation; the maxillary palpi are only slightly securiform. 



Bura cuprea. 



Bura cuprea, Muls. Spec. p. 419. 1. (T). 

 Haiti (Reiche). 



Stictobura. 



gen. nov. 

 Coxal fovea? incomplete; punctuation coarse, unequal, very 

 sparse ; elytral epipleurse foveolate, continuous to apex, elytra 

 with an abrupt thickened margin ; thorax finely punctured, base 

 margined, epipleurse not foveolate ; antenna? tolerably long, club 

 with the joints elongate, but closely fitting ; the meso- and meta- 

 sterna apparently connate, deeply punctured. Maxillary palpi 

 slightly securiform. Allied to Bura, but anomalous, from the 

 comparatively long antenna?. 



Stictobura pallidiguttata. 



Calvia pallidiguttata, Muls. Op. in (1853). 



Testaceous ; elytra olive-green, each with 4 yellowish-red spots, 

 (2 oblique before and 2 behind the middle). L. 2 lin. Malabar.
