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



to different shades of brown, the colouring much less distinct in 

 some individuals than in others ; prothorax rather transverse, 

 convex, quite entire ; each elytron with two raised lines, on the 

 innermost of which are seated three crests, one at the base, one 

 directly behind the middle, and the third on the declivity towards 

 the apex, the first of these crowned with short hairs, apex trun- 

 cate; palpi testaceous. 



Length 5 lines. 



There are four other species of this genus from Aru in Mr. 

 Wallace's private collection. 



Sthenias Bondii. 



S. pubescens, roseo-griseus; capite, prothorace, elytrisque basi, 

 fusco-^fittatis, his t'ascid mediana triangulari (apice scutellum 

 versus) tarsisque fuscis. 



India. 



Pubescent, greyish with a delicate rose-coloured tint; stripes 

 over the head, thorax, and basal third of the elytra brownish, the 

 first begins over and between the eyes, and as it passes to the 

 elytron divides into two, the other at the side expands on the 

 shoulder into a broad patch, below this and with the apex towards 

 the scutellum, a triangular brownish band ; tarsi brown. 



Length 8 lines. 



Dedicated to Frederick Bond, Esq., one of our members, to 

 whom 1 am indebted for this and many other interesting insects. 



Phemone. 



Head rather large ; eyes small, emarginate ; palpi elongate, slen- 

 der, acuminate ; labrum produced, narrower anteriorly, covering 

 the mandibles; antennae setaceous, longer than the body in the male, 

 the third joint longest, the rest gradually decreasing ; prothorax 

 broader behind ; elytra depressed ; legs robust, tarsi with the 

 three first joints short and very broad in both sexes ; pro- and 

 mesosterna produced. 



Proposed for my J pomecijna frenata (Trans. Ent. Soc. N.S, iv. 

 p. 107), a species which, from its antennae, tarsi and other cha- 

 racters, cannot be retained in that genus.
