Dysnos semiaureus. 



D. breviter ovatus, fusco-tomentosus, obscure aureo-varius ; prothorace

Hab. Moluccas (Batcbian). 



Shortly ovate or inclining to cylindrical, with an opake brownish- 

 black tomentum, varied on the elytra with pale longitudinal patches of 

 pale golden hairs ; prothorax not wider than the elytra ; first two joints 

 of the antennae and the legs ferruginous, the tarsi with the two basal 

 joints black. Length 1^ line. 



Smaller and proportionably shorter than D. auricomus, with the 

 prothorax nowhere wider than the elytra. In my specimen, the 

 subulate process terminating the last joint of the antennae is absent, 

 a chai-acter which may probably txu'n out to be sexual only.

 pimctate, a large dark brown patch at the base and another in the 

 middle common to both elytra, the alternate interstices also spotted
