122 CTJECT'LIOXID^. 



Head more coarsely punctate and wrinkled, the eyes rather more 

 prominent. Protliorax evidently broader than long in the $ , less 

 markedly so in the o • Ehjtra more acuminate behind, especially 

 in the 6 , more coarsely punctate and with the intervals narrower 

 than the strife in both sexes, the dorsal outHnemuch more convex; 

 the scales larger and less dense, almost circular, whereas in polli- 

 nosus they are oval or irregular. 



The c5' organ has the spatula less acute at the tip, and also pre- 

 sents a fine carina on the basal halt' of its convex surface which is 

 lacking in jwllinosus.

The variation with gi'een scaling described by Dr. Heller seems 

 to occur only in Ceylon ; and it is noteworthy that a similar 

 variation of IJ. 77iastos, Hbst., is also found in that island. 



85. Dereodus andamanensis, sp. nov. 



Colour black', with thin grey scaling, which is scarcely paler at 

 the sides. 



Head shiny, with sparse shallow punctures, the deep central 

 furrow contiiuied right up to the vertex, the forehead flattened 

 transverseh",so that (when looked at from in front) it is on the same 

 level as the upper surface of the eyes, with a shallow longitudinal 

 lateral impression separated b}" a ridge from the deep orbital 

 groove ; eyes A'ery convex, almost circular, llostrum as long as 

 broad, much broader at the base than the forehead, strongly nar- 

 roAved from the base to beyond the middle, the upper surface quite 

 flat almost to the apex, with the usual deep central furrow, the 

 curved lateral impressions comparatively shallow, and with no 

 impression before the eye. Antennce with the two basal joints of 

 the funicle equal, the remainder slightly transverse, 7 a little 

 longer, Protliorax subcylindrieal, about as long as broad, the sides 

 only slightly rounded, the apex but little narrower than the base, 

 which is truncate ; the up])er surface much more convex and more 

 shallowly impressed than in the other Indian species, with a fine 

 central stria which is almost interrupted in the middle by a trans- 

 verse smooth space, a v^ry shallow transverse impression near the 

 apex and a narrow one just behind the middle ; the sculpturing 

 composed of irregular shallow fovese, the intervals being finely 

 punctate. Elytra rather narrow ( c5' ), the sides almost parallel 

 from the rounded shoulders to beyond the middle, the base jointly
