somewhat scaly, and the punctures on the elytra are large, and 

 have at the base a little compact circle of scales, which gives a 

 ringed appearance to each puncture.

ITab. — Batchian. 



A pale honey-yellow derm, covered, especially on the elytra, 

 with very small, white, not very closely set, scales. Head much 

 narrower than the prothorax, even at the apex, the vertex con- 

 siderably raised above the eyes ; prothorax twice as broad as 

 long, the disc between the tubercles with coarse, closely-set punc- 

 tures, which are pitchy-brown internally, giving that part of the 

 prothorax a much darker appearance than the sides, which are 

 more densely pubescent ; scutellum dark brown, very transverse, 

 and contracted at the base; elytra very much broader than the 

 prothorax, especially at the base, coarsely punctured in somewhat 

 irregular lines, the basal ridge very short, dark brovvn, behind 

 this two oblique slightly elevated stripes of the same colour, one 

 in the middle, the other towards the apex, the side bent down at 

 a right angle, forming, from the shoulder to near half the length 

 of the elytra, a sharp well-defined ridge; posterior margin and 

 apex fringed with longish, curved, while hairs ; body beneath 

 and legs covered with a greyish pile, the tibiae also fringed with 

 long hairs; antennae half as long again as the body, very pale, 

 the apex of the third joint, and of all the succeeding, dark brown, 

 the last four or five becoming gradually entirely brovvn, except at 

 the base. 



Length 3 lines.

Hub. — Aru. 



Dark brown, mixed with a little grey on the elytra; front of the 

 head, and especially the sides of the protliorax, more strongly 

 marked with the same colour. Head much narrower than the 

 prothorax, the latter nearly twice as broad as long, the disc with 

 two large but not very elevated tubercles, the sides considerably 

 contracted at the base behind the spine, which is short and tooth- 

 like; scutellum scutiform; elytra much broader than the prothorax,
