with close rugulose punctuation, and towards the apex with minute 

 scattered granules, the anterior margin crenate, pubescence decum- 

 bent except for the scattered sette, and partly concealing the sculp- 

 ture. Scutellum scarcely distinguishable. Elytra closely applied at 

 base to the prothorax, as wide and about a third longer, the sides 

 gently rounded towards the base, more strongly behind, apex 

 rounded ; surface slightly rounded to the middle, thence more con- 

 vex and decUvous, with very close fine subrugulose punctures, 

 bearing short decumbent and sometimes squamiform hairs, the 

 punctures of the striae not separable from those of the interstices, 

 and with regular uniseriate erect setfe. Underside more deeply 

 infuscate, pubescent. Legs ferruginous. 



Hah. Darama I. (J. J. Walker). 



Two examples. The British Museum Collection pre- 

 sumably contains others, as it received the first series of 

 Mr. Walker's captures. Mr. Walker informs me that

 glutinous material which entangled the undei-sides of the 

 specimens.
