length, and the penultimate joint is shorter and narrower than the 

 preceding ones.

 concave in front ; prothorax transverse, rounded at the sides, produced 

 into an angle anteriorly, a prominent gibbosity in front partially over- 

 hanging the head, and irregularly studded with granular tubercles; 

 elytra nearly ovate, wider than the prothorax at the base, the tubercles 

 closely and regularly an-anged in lines (nine or ten on each) ; legs 

 reddish-ferruginous, rather short, slender, closely covered with small 

 tubercles bearing rather longish setse; tarsi very short, the basal joint 

 shortly triangular, the rest, except the last, very transverse and clothed 

 with sparse stiff hairs ; antennae rather more than a fom-th as long as

Apolecta fucata. 



A. pallide grisea, nigro varia ; capite prothoraceque griseo bivittatis ; 

 elytris maculis approximatis ; tarsorum articulo prime basi cinerascente. 



Hab. Ceram. 



NaiTowIy oblong, with a short pale-greyish pUe varied with black ; 

 head and prothorax black, with two greyish or didl-white stripes from 

 between the antennae and eyes, and terminating at the posterior border 

 of the latter ; antennae three to four times as long as the body, black, 

 the last three joints white ; eyes dark horn-colour ; prothorax longer 

 than broad, narrowed in front ; scuteUum small, transversely oblong ; 

 elytra subovate, dull greyish, with large black approximate or confluent 

 patches; legs black, the first joint of all the tarsi ashy above at the

This is the largest and most robust of all the described species, 

 and nearest in colour to A. parvula, Thoms. The spots on the 

 elytra are more or less confluent according to the individual.
