hairs, which are shorter and less depressed than those of any other 

 part of the body ; sides regularly rounded ; sui-face deeply punctured, 

 puncturing crowded and rugose on the sides, somewhat more scattered 

 on the disc, the centre of the latter covered by a large obtrigonate 

 black patch. Elytra oblong, sides parallel, slightly nan-owed near the 

 apex, the latter regularly roimded, dehiscent at the sutural angle ; above 

 convex ; each elytron with eleven sulcate striae, the first abbreviated, 

 each stria impressed with a single row of irregular punctures, inter- 

 spaces somewhat raised and subcostate towards the lateral margin, 

 their surface covered with distinct punctures, which render those of 

 the striae confused ; a large subbasal rotundate spot, a common bilobate 

 patch at the middle of the suture, another, larger and oblong-ovate, 

 placed behind the middle, and a small spot placed external to the 

 humeral callus, shining black.

 2| lin. 



Ovate, very convex, black, body clothed with coarse cinereous hairs, 

 intermingled with whiter pubescence, the latter covering a broad space 

 along the outer margin of each elytron, and also forming an interrupted 

 vitta on the inner disc. Head rugose-punctate ; basal joints of antennse 

 obscm*e fulvous. Thorax subcylindrical, sides obtusely rounded, nar- 

 rowed in front ; rugose-punctate ; the centre of the disc with a slightly 

 elevated shining ridge. Elytra coarsely pimctured, the puncturing

Hob. Bombay. Collected by H. Downes, Esq. 



The single individual of this insect sent by Mr, Downes is un- 

 fortunately rather worn, but fresh specimens are in all probability 

 much more closely covered with white pubescence.
