or spine, in front of this emargination, the posterior with 
a very hroad, jjointed, flattened tooth, beyond the middle ; 
tibicB feebly sinuous: 1st joint of hind tarsi elongate: 
body somewhat broadly ovate, pilose. 
Near Altes, Pascoe, but at once to be distinguished 
fi-om that and from all the other genera of the subfamily 
by the dentate pro- and meta-tibia?. 
Apomestris Westwoodi, u. sp. 
Somewhat broadly ovate, convex ; body and legs covered 
with moderately long, slender, black hairs : entirely of a 
rich deep brown, very glossy and slightly bronzed, varie- 
gated on the elytra with irregular markings of a lighter 
— castaneous brown — colour ; some of these marks assume 
the form of ocellated spots : head with a foveate depression 
on the front, irregularly and not closely punctured ; pro- 
thorax irregularly punctured, sparse on the disk, more 
crowded and coarser at the sides ; two slight shallow de- 
pressions on the disk, the hinder one small and just in 
front of the scutellum, and another large, shallow depression 
at each side ; the thickened edges Avith an irregular row 
of rather strong ])unctures which in places slightly nick 
the sides : elytra strongly punctured, the punctures large, 
not close, and vanishing before the apex ; a slight depression 
at each side the base in front of the shoidder (which is pro- 
minent), another at each side the suture behind the scu- 
tellum, and others larger, but more ill-defined, down by 
the sides, and liehiiid the shoulders: underside, legs and 
antenna? shining black, pilose, the hairs on the underside 
decumbent. 
Long. 6i lin.; lat. elytr. 3^ lin.

Decialrna ? Pascoei, n. sp. 
Differs from D. toiuitarsis (Pascoe, Ann. Nat. Hist. 
1869, p. 291 ) in having the head (save the clypeus) coarsely, 
reticulately rugose-punctured ; the scutelhnn, underside, 
legs, antennjB and tarsi of the same deep, shining black as 
the entire nj)per surfiice.

I doubtfully refer this species to Decialrna, because
