ADOKETUS. 341 



semicircular, the eyes large and very prominent. The pronotum 

 is short, rather coarsely but moderately closel)'^ punctured, with 

 the front angles right angles and the hind angles completely 

 rounded ofi'. The elytra are coarsely and rugosely punctured, 

 but I'ather shining, the hairy clotliing being not at all close, 

 although rather long ; the apical calli of the elytra are prominent, 

 the vertical posterior part is almost devoid of hair, and the 

 hairs upon a small longitudinal area placed just anteriorly and 

 interiorly to the calli are more closely aggregated, forming upon 

 each elytron an inconspicuous elongate white spot. The pygi- 

 dium is rather uniformly clothed with lotig erect hairs. The legs 

 are slender, the front tibia armed with three sharp teeth, of 

 which the uppermost is rather remote from the others ; the 

 longer front and middle claws ai"e minutely cleft, and the shorter 

 hind claw is about half the length of the other. 



I have not seen a female.

Type in the British Museum. 



This seems to be nearly related to the Bornean A. tricliostigma, 

 Ohaus, of which, however, the puncturation is said to be not 

 coarse, and the hairy clothing of the elytra short and close- 

 lying.

Elongate-oval in shape and not very convex. The clypeus is 

 short, broadly rounded and closely granular, the forehead densely 

 rugose. The pronotum is densely punctured, with the sides 

 straight in front a;id strongly rounded behind, the front angles 

 right angles and the hind angles completely rounded off. The 

 scutellum is finely and closely punctured, and the elytra are 

 rugosely punctured, with very indistinct costae. The pygidium is 

 entirely clothed with soft, erect, but not long hair. The legs are 

 rather slender, the front tibia armed with three sharp teeth, the 

 uppermost one rather I'emote from the other two, the hind tibia 

 very narrow at the end and rather inflated in the middle, and the 

 shorter hind claw more than half the length of the longer.
