The position oflhe elytral spots in this species differs from any 

 other Indian Cryptocephalus known to me, and the finely pubescent 

 and spotted head in connection with the shape of the prosternum 

 will farlher assistin the récognition of the species. 



CRYPTOCEPHALUS DIVISUS sp. n. 



Pale flavous, the terminal joints of the antennse fuscous, thorax 

 impunctate with two black spots, elytra finely punctate-striate, 

 narrowly margined with black, each with four black spots (2, 2). 



Far. The punctures of the thorax very small, the elytra will a 

 small humerai spot only. 



Length 4 mill. 



Head finely and remolely punctured, longitudinally depressed at 

 the middle, the extrême vertex and a small spot at the base of the 

 antennse black, antennse rather short, the lower five joints flavous, 

 the others black, the second joint very short, the following three 

 equal, the rest slightly longer; thorax narrowed in front, flavous, 

 the sides feebly rounded, the dise very convex, flavous, shining, 

 the middle with two large transversely shaped spots, scutellum 

 black or flavous, margined with black; elytra with the base near 

 the scutellum rather raised, finely punctate-striate, ail the margins 

 narrowly black, each elytron with four black rounded spots, of 

 which two are placed near the base (one on the shoulders, the 

 othernear the scutellum) and two below the middle, transversely, 

 below and the legs flavous. 



Closely allied to C. octospilotus Baly but the head spotted, the 

 outer joints of the autennœ black, the thorax with two black spots 

 and the elytra raised near the scutellum. C. konbirensis Duviv. lias 

 the anlerior elytral spots placed dilïerently and is of fulvous not 

 flavous colour; the variety agrées in every respect with the spotted 

 form except in the reduced thoracic spots and the absence of those 

 of the elytra except the small humerai spot. 



ATROPIDIUS NIGROPLAGIATUS sp. n. 



Below more or less piceous, basai joints of the antennas and the 

 legs fulvous, head and thorax black, very finely punctured, elytra 

 flavous, a broad transverse band at the base and a round spot below 

 the middle, black. 



Var. Head and thorax fulvous, the elytral band indicated by some 

 obscure spots. 



Length 2 mill. 



Head flat, extremely minutely punctured, blackj opaque, with a 

 short central groove at the vertex, thç clypeus fulvous, antennse
