VALGUS VETHII. 241 



median tooth ; the posterior tibiae as long as the four basal 

 joints of the posterior tarsi , of which the first joint is as 

 long as the second. The legs sparingly covered with white 

 scales , the tibiae especially those of the posterior pair lon- 

 gitudinally scratched. 



The scutellum covered with whitish scales. The elytra 

 closely sculptured , each with five fine longitudinal striae 

 between the shoulder and the suture ; the interstices covered 

 with yellow scales , the second interstice also with a small 

 spot of erect black scales a little before the middle. The 

 inclined lateral portion of the elytra more sparingly covered 

 with scales , of which those at the shoulder , at the middle 

 and at the apex are more or less black. The propygidium 

 and pygidium very closely covered with yellow scales. The 

 apical margin of the propygidium bears laterally a pair of 

 short tubes and between them a pair of tufts of erect 

 yellow scales. 



The abdomen beneath covered with umbilicate punctures 

 and sprinkled over with elongate white scales. 



In one of the three specimens (captured in July 1878 

 at Soeroelangoen) there are hardly any black scales at the 

 pronotum , and also the black spot at the second interstice 

 is totally wanting on the right elytra. The third specimen 

 is in a bad condition. 



I have dedicated this species to Mr. 0. D. Vetli , Geologist 

 and Photographer to the Expedition.
