ORYCHODES RITSEM^. 163 



the abdomen are hardly furrowed ; the last abdominal seg- 

 ment is fringed with golden hairs. 



The anterior legs stout, with the tibise angularly dila- 

 ted in the middle, all the femora are toothed, the tarsi 

 pubescent. 



This OrycJiodés belongs to the group formed by 0. 

 lineolatus Kirsch *), insignis Lewis ^) and pictus Pascoe '') , 

 which have the head posteriorly unspined ; it differs from 

 0. lineolatus , by the rostrum and the lines on the elytra, 

 from 0. insignis and pictus , by the elytra being differently 

 punctured and spotted. 



I have much pleasure in dedicating this species to Mr. 

 Ritsema, as a slight sign of friendship. 



Achrionota bilineata Pascoe*). 



9. Elongated, narrow, blackish, opaque; covered here 

 and there with yellow-whitish scales. The apical portion 

 of the rostrum is brown, shining, the neck pitchy, the 

 legs ferruginous brown. The head is moderately elongate , 

 deeply separated from the neck , with a shallow groove 

 in the middle extending to the basal portion of the ros- 

 trum ; above punctured , with a few scales at the sides , be- 

 neath almost entirely covered with ochreous scales; the 

 basal portion of the rostrum is as long as the head but 

 more slender, with two longitudinal furrows along the 

 middle and vaguely punctured; the apical half is longer 

 than the head, filiform, impunctate. The antennae are 

 scarcely longer than the rostrum, nearly filiform, with 

 the first joint as long as the second and third together ; the 

 remainder subcylindrical and greyish pubescent with rare 

 blackish hairs; the IV^ as long as the basal joint and 

 acuminate at the tip.
