8. Demotina Jansoni, n. sp. 

 Oblonga, siibcylindrica, nigro-picea, opaca, albo-squamosa ; 

 epistomate, antennarum basi tibiisque (his plus minusve in- 

 fuscatis) rufo-piceis ; thorace latitudini aequilongo, subcy- 

 lindrico, rude lugoso ; elytris profunde striato-punctatis, sat 

 dense squamosis, squamis hie illic congregatis, plagas indis- 

 tinctas formantibus ; epistomate transverse. 

 Long. 1^ lin. 

 Hab. VVaigiou. 



Head opake ; surface finely rugulose, clothed with large ad- 

 pressed white scales ; epistome shining, transverse, not distinctly 

 separated from the face ; eyes large, prominent. Thorax not 

 broader than long, sides rounded, obliquely converging from be- 

 In'nd the middle to the apex ; surface coarsely rugose, clothed 

 with ovate adpressed scales, which are rather more crowded to- 

 wards the lateral border. Elytra obsoletely depressed below the 

 basilar space, the latter indistinctly elevated, shoulders slightly 

 prominent ; surface deeply and coarsely striate-punctate, clothed 

 with large ovate scales arranged (although somewhat indistinctly) 

 in longitudinal rows ; on each elytron are several patches of similar 

 scales ; interspaces at the base raised and forming faint transverse 

 strigae. 



Nearly allied to D. pauperata, of which insect it may be only 

 an extreme variety.

 Oblonga, subcylindrica, picea, subnitida, albo-squamosa ; an- 

 tennis basi, pectore, epistomateque pallide rufo-piceis ; tho-

 punctato ; elytris profunde striatim punctatis, sparsius squa-
