3;i9. Adoretus testaceus. (Plate V, figs. 19 & 20.) 



Geniates testaceus, Hope,* Gray's Zool. Miscell., 1831, p. 23. 

 Geniates assimilis, Hope,* 1. c, § (new syn.). 



Brown, with the elytra a little paler, and the antennae, femora 

 and tildae yellow. The head and the sides of the body beneath 

 are rather closely clothed with decumbent grey setae, and the 

 pronotum bears irregular patches of similar setae. The elytra 

 are very sparingly sprinkled with Aery minute setae, \\ hich are 

 more numerous at the sides ; towards the extremity of each 

 elytron tliere are three rows of longer erect setae meeting at the 

 very ])rominent apical callus, which beai's a conspicuous tuft of 

 similar setae. 



It is long, narrow, parallel -sided and depressed. The head is 

 finely gr.mulated and broad, the clypeus broadly rounded and the 

 margin strongly reflexed in the middle. The pronotum is closely 

 but rather unevenly punctured, becoming rugose at the sides, and 

 the lateral margins are angulated behind the middle and nearly 

 straight from there to the front and hind angles, of which the 

 former are acute and the latter obtuse but well marked. The 

 «cutelluni and elytra are strongly and densely punctured, and the 

 costae are narrow but distinct. The pygidium is rather thickly 

 clothed, except at the apex, with moderately long outstanding 

 hair. The front tibia is armed with three sharp, but not long, 

 equidistant teeth, and above them the outer edge is finely serrated ; 

 the longer claw of the front and middle feet is cleft. The antennae 

 are 10-jointed. 



S . The pronotum is rather less coarsely sculptured than that of 

 the female, to which the name assimilis was given by Hope. 



Length, 11-12 mm. ; breadth, 5*5 mm.

340. Adoretus nasalis, sp. nov. (Plate V, fig. 21 .) 



Brown, with the legs, antennae and elytra yellowish, the deep 

 punctures upon the last stained vi'ith brown, and as they are 

 absent fi-om the costae, an appearance of pale longitudinal stripes 

 is produced. The surface above and beneath bears minute 

 uniform decumbent grey setae, sparsely distributed, especially 

 upon the elytra, where they are only visible with the help of 

 a lens. 



It is a parallel-sided, rather depressed species, with slender
