MYLLOCERUS. 327 



the apical emargination rather shallow but acute ; the upper 

 surface very deeply and broadly impressed, without any central 

 carina, but with the lateral carinas sharply raised and slightly 

 converging in front. Anteums thick, piceous, with white depressed 

 setae, the scape tinely scrobiculate ; the fuuicle with joint 1 a little 

 longer than 2, 3-7 subequal and about as long as broad. Prothorax 

 much broader than long, the sides rounded, broadest at the middle, 

 shallowly constricted before and behind, the posterior angles 

 rather acute, the base shallowly bisinuate, the apex scarcely 

 narrower and oblique at the sides ; the upper surface coniluently 

 granulato-punctate. Elytra broad, subtruncate at the base, the 

 shoulders roundly rectaugular, the sides subparallel, the stria3 

 broad and deeply punctate, the intervals finely rugose and with 

 distinct granules on the dark areas ; the setae scale-like and quite 

 recumbent, so that they can be distinguished only with difficulty 

 from the true scales. Legs piceous, with grey scaling, the femora 

 with a small tooth. 



Length, 4-4| mm. ; breadth, 2-2i mm. 



Bengal: Cliota Nagpur (Cardon). 



Type in the Brussels Museum. 



302. Myllocerus teniiiclavis, sp. uov. 



Colour black, with fawn-coloured scaling ; the prothorax with 

 a broad dark stripe on each side ; the elytra with irregular dark 

 dorsal markings. 



Head w ith a deep frontal fovea or furrow, the eyes sublateral, 

 less convex in the 5 , the forehead slightly broader than the space 

 between the scrobes. Rostrum about as long as broad, evidently 

 longer than the head, the sides narrowed from the base to the 

 middle and rather strongly dilated at the apex, the apical emargi- 

 nation not very deep and forming a right angle, impressed above 

 and with a deep central furrow throughout, the lateral cariucB 

 distinct, the shallow posterior portion of the scrobe containing a 

 short deep furrow in front of the eye. Antemue piceous, the 

 scape stout and gradually clavate at the apex ; the funiele with 

 joint 1 much longer than 2, 3 and 4 subequal and slightly longer 

 than 5 to 7, the club very narrow and elongate, not broader than 

 the funiele. Prothorax a little broader than long, its sides very 

 slightly rounded, broadest rather before the middle, shallowly 

 constricted before and behind, the base bisinuate, the apical 

 margin of equal width and oblique laterally ; the upper surface 

 with distinct scattered punctures visible through the scaling and 

 with a rounded impression on each side behind the middle. 

 Elytra separately rounded at the base, the sides slightly dilated 

 behind the middle, the shoulders I'oundly rectangular, the striae 

 strongly punctate, the setae very short and depressed. Legs 

 piceous, with grey scaling ; the femora with a stout sharp tooth, 

 which is unusually large on the posterior pair, the tibiae simple. 



Length, 5-5| mm.; breadth, 2^-2^1 mm.
