Scirtes ?iiacitlatus, n. sp. 



Piceus, nitidus ; eljtris ocliraceis, aiugulis maculis (jiiiuqiiu 

 piceo-uigris. Loug. 1-^ liu. 



Form of S. hemispha^ricns, but a trifle broader across tliu 

 middle. Thorax the same as in that species, with uot very close 

 biit distinct punctuation. Elytra yellow, the ])imctuation like 

 that in hemisphcpricus but not quite so close. Each elytron has 

 five rather lai"ge blackish-bi'own spots : one near the middle of the 

 base ; an oblong one close to the suture, attached by one angle 

 to the basal spot, and united at its apical angle with a large 

 round spot on the margin ; there is an ovate spot close to the 

 apex, more or less joined to a transverse spot at the apical 

 margin. 



Hab. India. 



Scirtes qv.<((/rin/ari(l(itus, u. sp. 



Oblongo-ovalis, nitidus, piceus, fulvo-flavo-pilosus ; clytris 

 rufo-piceis, maculis quatuor nigris notatis. Long. 2^ lin. 



Ivegularly oblong-ovate, moderately convex, dark ])itchy. 

 Antennaj black, a little pitchy at the base. Thorax not quite 

 so transverse as in ;S'. hemispha'ricvs, the anterior angles a little 

 more directed forwards; the punctuation very close, but not 

 crowded, and although fine is very distinct when the pubescence 

 is removed. The elytra are pitchy-red, clothed with yellowish 

 fawn-coloured pubescence; the punctuation is like that on the 

 thorax, but rather stronger; rather behind the middle there is 

 a large quadrangular black spot, tou.ching the mai'gin, but not 

 reaching the suture; and at the apex there is another spot, more 

 rounded, also touching the margin biit not the suture. The 

 hind femora are dark pitchy, the impressions above at the apex 

 arc rather deep, and there is a deep incision near the a})ex at 

 the posterior margin ; the longer spur to the tibia is about two- 

 thirds the length of the basil joint of the tarsus.

Sc/rfefi cosUdatns, n. sp. 



Oblongo-ovalis, pallide piceus, griso-flavo-pubescens; aiiteuiiis 

 nigris, elytris singulis costis tri!)us obtusis. Long. 2^ lin. 



This species has somewhat the appearance of Cypim cnurciatiis, 

 but is rather flatter and relatively a trifle broader. The antenna; 

 are black witli the three basal joints ferruginous. The thorax
