two posterior crests very low but not connected ; body beneath 

 dull reddish-brown ; antennas and legs leaden grey. 

 Length 3 lines. 



§ 8. Differs from § 7 in not having the intermediate crest. 



Praonetha annulitarsis. 



P. fusca ; prothorace bituberculato ; elytris basi elongato-cris- 

 tatis, fasciculis numerosis fuscis instructis, deciivitate apicali 

 griseata, et griseo-lineata, apice subrotundatis ; tarsis fuscis, 

 griseo-annulatis. 



Hab. — Sarawak. 



Dark brown, with a short brownish-grey pubescence ; head and 

 prothorax with a very compact brownish pubescence, having 

 numerous whitish hairs scattered singly amongst it, the latter 

 transverse, turgid, with two large tubercles on the disc ; scutellum 

 oblong, black, with its sides pale yellowish ; elytra slightly sub- 

 trigonate, compressed, the apex somewhat rounded, the basal 

 crest elongate, coarsely plumose, numerous small nodules inter- 

 spersed among the punctures, each bearing a short brown tuft, 

 the declivous portion dull grey, with irregular transverse paler 

 lines ; body beneath and legs dark brown, with an unequal grey- 

 ish pubescence, very loose on the tibiae and forming short bands 

 across the tarsi ; antennae brown, the bases of the joints greyish. 



Length t)| lines. 



This is a fine, robust species, and, except P. scopulifera (anfe, 

 p. 175), is the only one of the genus having numerous small tufts 

 on the elytra. 



Stesilea. 



Characteres ut in Praonetha, sed prothorax antice vix angustior, 

 et elytra magis elongata, depressa, semper aequalia. 



Although the technical characters of this genus are not very 

 definite, it is, nevertheless, a very natural one, and, but for the 

 absence of the small anterior prothoracic tooth, might have been 

 referred to the Niphonince. The species are all very homoge- 

 neous in point of size and colour, but the spots on the elytra may 

 probably prove to be an uncertain character.
