[Horn 



organs. Eyes round, moderately prominent. Scrobes moderately deep in 

 front, slightly arcuate and well defined, posteriorly vague and passing im- 

 mediately beneath the lower margin of the eye. Antennae moderately 

 long, scape gradually clavate, attaining the middle of the e5^e ; funicle 7 

 jointed, the first two slightly longer and subequal, 3-7 obconical, the last 

 slightly broader but distant from the club which is oval, acute and dis 

 tinctly articulated. Thorax oboval, without ocular lobes or fimbriae. 

 Scutellum invisible. Elytra oblong oval, feebly emarginate at base and 

 slightly wider than the thorax. Mesosternal process nearly vertical. Meta 

 sternum short, side pieces with distinct suture, but almost entirely covered 

 by the elytra. Intercoxal process broad, truncate, second segment not as 

 long as the two following united, separated from the first by a very nearly 

 straight suture. Tibiae mucronate, the anterior and middle denticulate 

 within, corbels of hind tibiae open, glabrous, tarsi normal, claws free. 

 Body above sparsely scaly in irregular bands and patches.

Form elongate oval, dark brown, ornate with pearly scales. Head and 

 rostrum as long as the thorax, moderately densely punctured, sparsely 

 covered with pearly iscales and recumbent scale-like hairs. Thorax slightly 

 longer than wide, broadest in front of middle, sides arcuate in front, 

 slightly convergent towards the base, apex truncate and with feeble con- 

 striction behind the margin, disc moderately convex, median line distinctly 

 impressed, surface coarsely and closely tuberculate, each tubercle punc- 

 tured at summit and with a scale-like hair, lateral margin with a narrow 

 line of pearly scales. Elytra oblong oval, narrower in the male, disc mode- 

 rately convex, suddenly declivous at apex, surface with striae of large, deep, 

 closely placed punctures, intervals narrower and with granules moderately 

 elevated ; surface ornate with pearly scales, arranged in the form of a hu- 

 meral lunule and an irregular patch on each side of the declivity. Body 

 beneath densely punctured, sparsely covered with scale-like hairs and with 

 a patcli of pearly scales on each side of metasternum. Legs piceous,

AGASPH^ROPS n. g. 

 Rostrum much longer than the head, cylindrical at base, dilated in front, 

 alae prominent, above with deep median groove, tip feebly trisinuate, a V- 

 shaped elevated line and on each side a broad groove. Supports of decidu- 

 ous pieces prominent, obliquely truncate and acute at tip. Mentum filling 

 the gular emargination. Scrobes deep and visible from above in front, 

 feebly arcuate, gradually feebler posteriorly and passing immediately be- 

 neath the eyes. Antennae moderate, scape short, moderately robust, gradu- 

 ally clavate, nearly attaining the anterior margin of the eye ; funicle 7- 

 jointed, one and a-half times the length of the scape ; joints 1-2 sub-equal, 

 longer than the others, 3-7 short, obconical ; club oval. Eyes round.
