 Hub. — Singapore. 



Pubescence ashy, with patches of Mack ; prothorax uniformly 

 ashy ; elytra with a black patch at the base extending more than 

 half-way down the suture, the lower part expanding into a band 

 directly across them, shoulder black, a triangular patch of the 

 same colour on each side towards the apex. Head narrower than 

 the prothorax, which is broader posteriorly, rounded at the sides, 

 the tooth small but very decided ; scutellum transverse, rounded 

 behind ; elytra broadest at the base, tapering very gradually to 

 the apex, its outer angle spinous, the disc with several erect black 

 setae, the punctures hidden by the pubescence ; body beneath, legs 

 and antennae with a fine greyish pile ; antennae about twice as 

 long as the body.

Driojjea inermis. 



D. cinereo-pubescens, nigro-notata ; prothorace nnuico, disco 



nigro-biplagiato ; elytris subangustatis. 

 Hab. — Dorey, Saylee, Waigiou, Morty, Batchian. 



Pubescent, ashy with black patches ; prothorax ashy, with two 

 oblong patches on the disc j elytra with a semicircular patch at 

 the base, an oblique patch on each side not meeting at the suture; 

 directly below the middle a broad band, behind this and equi- 

 distant from the apex and close to the outer margin a smaller 

 patch. Head scarcely narrower than the prothorax, which is very 

 little broader behind and without a tooth at the side ; scutellum 

 not transverse, rounded behind ; elytra oblong, rather narrow, 

 with several rows of depressed black setae, outer angle of the apex 

 not spinous; body beneath, legs and antennae dull fulvous, with 

 obscure brownish patches and a thin greyish pubescence ; antennae 

 about twice and a half as long as the body. 



Length 3^ lines. 



This species in some respects approaches Chydceopsis, but the 

 more depressed body, style of coloration and form of the protibise 

 are more characteristic of Driopea. The amount of black varies; 

 on the upper portion of the elytra the patches are sometimes 

 more or less conHucnt.
