PHARSALIA ALBOMACULATA. 119 



species should be of no value , this species being very dis- 

 tinct and aberrant, according to the large clear spots on 

 a dark ground , its pattern somewhat resembles that of 

 Combe Brianus White. The couple in the Leyden Museum 

 is labelled »Reinwardt: Java", and bears the manuscript name 

 of Mr. de Haan, which I have retained; the locality of 

 the pair in my own cabinet is not stated. 



4. P eriaptodes frater^ v. d. Poll. 



Brunneo-niger , prorsus pubescentia densa grisea tectus ; 

 elytra ad basin circum scutelbim macula communi magna 

 trapezoïdali notata , ab humeris usque ad medium, suturae 

 fascia oblique incurvata brunnescente, retro gradaiim diffluente 

 ornata ; pubescentia capitis , prothoracis , antennarum , partis 

 inferioris pedumque setis pallidis sparse intermixta. Anten- 

 narum scapus rugosus. Discus prothoracis granulis parvis 

 ob situs , spinae laterales validae , houd ver o forte supra ductae. 

 Elytra ad humeros dente parvo , obtuso instructaj parte 

 basali gramdis parvis perpaucis , lateraliter subtus humeros 

 sat numerosis , obtecta ; ad apicem truncata , nonnihil emar- 

 ginata , dente pervalido marginali armata. 



Length 41 mm., breadth at the shoulders 13 mm,, length 

 of the antennae 60 mm. 



Derm dark brown , entirely covered with a greyish scale- 

 like pubescence; the elytra ornated at the base with a 

 large brown trapezoidal blotch , common to both and enclo- 

 sing the scutellum , and an oblique curved brownish band, 

 shading ofi insensibly behind , beginning below the shoul- 

 der and terminating at the suture somewhat below the 

 middle. The pubescence of the head and the prothorax is 

 intermixed with a few very short pale setulose hairs, which 

 become longer and much more numerous on the antennae , 

 the under surface and the legs. 



The scape of the antennae is rather strongly rugose in 

 a transverse direction , the third joint is as long as the 

 6th and 7th together, the 4th — lOth gradually decreasing, 

 the terminal joint not quite twice as long as the foregoing.
