Hah. Sumatra. 



A rather dull, broad species. The antennae are robust and 

 strongly dentate. Thorax transverse, broadest at the posterior 

 angles (which are acute), impressed on each side ; the mesial carina 

 is doubled rather behind the middle. Elytra at the base not broader 

 than the thorax, rather wider towards the apex ; the extreme base 

 and the four strong costoe for half their length rusty yellow, rather 

 strongly punctate-striate in double lines, the lines divided by a very 

 fine costa.

Nigro-fuscus, opacus ; thorace rufo-ochraceo, crebre punctate, 

 medio carina distincta postice duplicata, disco utrinque infuscato ; 

 elytris quadricostatis, interstitiis biseriatim fortiter punctatis, seriebus 

 linea tenui divisis. $ . Long. 5| lin. 



Hab. Sumatra. 



Rather more elongate than B. pauper, the thorax less transverse 

 and less rounded in front. Thorax with the margins broadly re- 

 flexed and rather thickly punctured ; the mesial carina is very- 

 distinct, divided posteriorly into two parallel caringe. Elytra each 

 with four strong costoe, the interstices with two rows of strong 

 (slightly transverse) punctures, the rows di%'ided by a fine line which 

 is scarcely raised. 



Bulenides dubius. 



(Plate IX. fig. 5.) 



Fuscus, parum nitidus ; thorace fusco-testaceo, lateribus parum 

 refiexis, disco utrinque fortiter impresso, antice carina brevi, medio 

 areola lanceolata ; elytris basi plus minusve fusco-flavis, quadri- 

 costatis, interstitiis biseriatim punctatis, seriebus basi costa tenui 

 divisis. Long. ^ lin. 



Hab. Borneo. 



Thorax obscure testaceous, rather dusky at the base ; the carina 

 is scarcely perceptible in front, and is divided posteriorly into two. 

 Elytra parallel, fuscous, paler at the base ; each elytron with four di- 

 stinct costfe, which turn slightly away from the scutellum near the
