252 Mr. F. P. Pascoe's Descriptions of New Genera 



Dorcadion ? spinipenne. 



D. nigrum, rugosum, parce pubescens ; prothorace creberrime 

 punctate, lateribus spind tenui armatis ; elytris basi tuber- 

 culatis, humeris bispinosis ; antennis corpore longioribus. 

 Africa Australis. 



Brownish black, sparingly pubescent, the prothorax nearly as 

 broad as the elytra, with a slender spine at the side, and very 

 thickly punctured ; elytra widest about the middle, then tapering 

 to the apex, tuberculate at the base, with two strong spines, one 

 at the angle, the other near the suture ; legs rather slender ; eyes 

 small ; antennae longer than the body in both sexes ; pro- and 

 mesosternum simple ; scutellum nearly obsolete. 



Length 6 lines. 



If a Dorcadion at all, this can only be regarded as a very 

 abberrant species, but it will probably be eventually elevated into 

 a genus ; the Dorcadion Indicum of Guerin is not unlikely to be 

 congeneric. 



BUMETOPIA. 



Body oblong, oval, depressed ; head very broad, low in front ; 

 eyes lateral, small, deeply emarginate ; mandibles very large ; 

 palpi short ; antennae moderate, widely apart, the third and fourth 

 joints longer than the first, the rest shorter ; prothorax transverse, 

 entire ; elytra nearly ovate ; legs moderate. 



In many of its characters this genus accords with Taloepora 

 and Apomecyna, but the great breadth of the head and largely 

 developed jaws will at once distinguish it. 



Bumetopia oscitans. (PI. XXVI. fig. 7.) 



B. fusca, pube grisescente tecta ; elytris punctatis, versus 

 apicem obsolete trimaculatis. Hong Kong. 



Brown, with a greyish or greyish buff pubescence, and with 

 the whole upper surface irregularly punctured ; prothorax very 

 slightly toothed at the side ; elytra at its lower third with three 

 bufF-coloured obscure spots. 



Length 6 lines. 



Hathlia zehrina. 



H. alba ; capite prothoraceque vittis tribus nigrls ; elytris 

 maculis albis punctisque nigris variegatis. India.
