liead distinctiy produced and dedected between the bases of the 

 antennœ, andalso with a distinct latéral curved robust spine between 

 the antennnc and eyes, basai mai-gin moderately concave, eyes trans- 

 versely rounded; antenna.' i-obustandpilose,the two basai joints sliort 

 and robust, second shorter than first, third about twice as long as 

 fourth; rostrum exlending slightly beyond the posterior coxœ; pro- 

 notum wilh a small vesicle or hood which does not exlend beyond 

 base of head, and is convex and areolate, latéral pronotal margins 

 strongly convex and iji-areoiate, the disk with Ihree central longitu- 

 dinal carinations, the central one straight Ihe latéral ones slightly 

 curved, the posterior margin centrally subangularly siniiaie; scu- 

 tellum exposed, subtriangular, areolate, centrally, longitudinally 

 strongly ridged; elytra with the latéral margins nearly sti'aighl, 

 subparallel, convexiy rounded ai apices, costal areas bi-areolate, 

 discoidal and subcostal areas thickly but somewhat smally areolate; 

 suturai area with the areolels as large as those on coslal area; legs 

 slender. 



This genus apart from the structure of the head lias a considérable 

 resemblance to Acaiijpta Wkstw., a l*ala?arctic genus; in the Indian 

 enumeration it may be placed after Phalnoma and pr(jbably ie(|uir(.'s 

 a divisional séparation. 



Recaredus rex sp. n. — Pale fuscons-br-own, the interior of 

 the areolets on pronotal vesicle, latéral pronotal margins, scutellum 

 and costal and suturai areas of the elytra, greyish-white; eyes 

 and antenn.c piceous, the latter thickly, strongly and brownly 

 pilose; body beneath and legs castaneous; elytra longly passing the 

 abdominal apex; other structural characters as in generie diagnosis.
