spot, the apex slightly mucronate at the suture ; body beneath 

 and legs greyish-ochraceous ; antennae brownish, the tips of the 

 third and fourth, and the remaining joints, black, the fourth 

 ochraceous at the base. 

 Length 6 lines. 



ZiEERA. 



Caput antice subtransversum, genis rotundatis, tuberibus an- 



tenniferis brevibus, distantibus. Oculi parvi, profunde emar- 



ginati. Antenncs breves, setaceae; scapo cylindrico ; articulis 



tertio et quarto singulis scapo aequalibus ; cseteris fere obsolete 



articulatis et multo brevioribus. Prothorax subtransversus, 



capite latior, antice angustus, lateraliter ante medium dente in- 



structus. Elytra basi prothorace multo latiora, postice sensim 



angustiora. Pedes mediocres ; tarsi breves, triangulares. Pro- 



et meso-sterna elevata, producta. Corpus breviter convexum. 



The cylindrical form of the antennal joints, masking, as it were, 



the lines of articulation, and the lateral tooth of the prothorax, 



distinguish this genus from Praonctha. From Atmodes it differs 



in the form of the scape and the convexity of the prothorax and 



elytra, 



Z(Bera cretata. (PI. VIII. fig. 5.) 



Z. fusca, prothorace macula laterali elytrisque strigis duabus

Hab. — Batchian. 



Covered, except on the abdomen, with a short, scaly, dark- 

 brown pubescence, mixed with a few larger and whitish hairs, 

 many of which stand alone at the bottom of the punctures ; 

 upper surface rather remotely punctured, the brown colour on the 

 head and prothorax, continuous with a narrow transverse band at 

 the base of the elytra, lighter than the rest, but the line between 

 the two very distinct ; a white spot on each side of the prothorax 

 underneath ; nearly on the middle of the elytra a large oblique 

 snowy-white stripe or patch, and behind this, and on the apical 

 slope, a thin line also snowy-white and oblique, the apex rounded j 

 abdomen dark chesnut-brown, with a sparse, paler pubescence. 



Length 5| lines.
