LASIODACTYLIJS MACULOSUS. 75 



pubescent, the margins dull ferruginous. Head broad, rather 

 finely -and closely punctured , with a moderately strong 

 oblique impression on each side just in front of the eyes. 

 Epistoma rather more finely punctured than the head. 

 Antennae reddish testaceous. Prothorax about twice as 

 broad as long, with a semicircular and rather deep eraar- 

 gination in front , very finely and closely punctured ; all 

 the angles slightly obtuse ; the sides gradually rounded. 

 Scutellum large , rounded behind , extremely finely punc- 

 tured. Elytra at the base very slightly broader than the 

 prothorax , about twice as long as the head and prothorax 

 together, somewhat narrowed posteriorly, moderately strong- 

 ly and irregularly punctured , with traces of feebly elevated 

 lines representing costae; humeral angles not prominent, 

 reddish testaceous ; sides nearly parallel for about one third 

 of their length , then rounded to the apex : each elytron 

 with three longitudinal rows of small spots on the disk, 

 and a somewhat larger spot near the scutellum reddish 

 testaceous; these spots are not constant in size, but usu- 

 ally those just behind the middle, on the disk, are some- 

 what larger than the others. Under side coloured as 

 above ; the pro- and mesosternum rather coarsely and close- 

 ly punctured; the metasternum more finely and less 

 closely so , abdominal segments and under-margins of the 

 elytra almost as strongly punctured as the mesosternum. 

 Legs pale brown ; apical half of the femora reddish testa- 

 ceous. — Length 6^/4 — T^/g mm.; greatest width S^/g — 4^/4 

 mm. 



Sumatra (Ludeking). 



Unlike any species of Lasiodactylus known to me, but 

 nearest to L. tibialis Boh. from Natal; it is, however, a 

 much narrower insect and duller in colour, it also differs 

 in the punctuation of the under side, and in having the 

 apical half of the femora testaceous.
