Descriptions of Netu Scohjtidai. 205 



the shoulders rounded rectangular, the sides subparallel, narrowed 

 and incurved behind, the apical margins oblique ; surface cylindri- 

 cal to the hinder third, thence strongly declivous and subretuse, 

 punctui'ed in scarcely impressed rows, the sutural row not deeper, 

 the punctures rather large but not conspicuous, owing to the trans- 

 verse rngje extending between them on to the interstices, the 

 latter scarcely convex, with close piliferous punctures or punctiform 

 elevations, in single series, except on the 3rd and 5th interstices, 

 where they are iiTegularly biseriate, the hairs fine and short, longer 

 at the side-margins ; declivity somewhat flattened, impressed along 

 the 2nd interstice, dull, rugosely punctured, not more strongly 

 hairy, or tuberculate. Underside black ; tibise strongly serrate.

The rugosity of the elytra is a characteristic feature^ 

 and one which renders the details of the sculpture hard 

 to examine. The head is slightly but still perceptibly 

 prolonged in front, although the entire absence of any 

 rostrum is supposed to be one of the distinguishing 

 features of this and allied genera. 



Dryoccetus sumatranus, sp, n. 



Oblongus, badius, subuitidus, erecte fulvo-setosus ; prothorace 

 longitudiue subbreviore, fere semielliptico, anterius tamen sub- 

 constricto, dorso ante basin transverse gibbo, per totum aspero, 

 granulis in parte postica subtilioribus ; elytris punctis magnis 

 striatis, interstitiis transverse rugulosis alternatim uni- vel irregu- 

 lariter biseriatim setosis, declivitate obliqua, subretusa, interstitiis 

 convexioribus, 2'^ impresso. Long. 5"7 mm. 



Oblong, not very shining, testaceous-brown, pilose with rather 

 strong erect fulvous hairs. Head large, the front oblong, subconvex, 

 closely and rather strongly punctured, subrugose, with scanty long 

 pubescence ; eyes oblong-oval, sinuate in front ; antennaj yellow- 

 testaceous, normal, outer face of the club spongy apically, with 

 nearly straight sutures. Prothorax rather broader than long, widest 

 just before the base, the sides and apex conjointly rounded, save 

 for a slight constriction about the anterior third, hind-angles sub- 

 rectangular, the base truncate; surface gibbous and elevated into an 

 obtuse transverse nodus at the hinder fourth, anteriorly convex, 

 posteriorly declivous from the nodus to the base, thinly pilose, 

 asperate with close imbricate rugae, finer posteriorly, and granular, 

 especially towards the middle of the base. Scutellum triangular
