* * * Prothorax basi multo latlor. 



Sybra modesta. 

 S. fusca, subtilissime pubescens ; elytris basi seriatim modice 

 punctatis, guttuHs cinerascentibus fere obsoletis adspersis ; 

 antennis fuscis. 

 Hab. — Saylee. 



Dark brown, with an extremely delicate greyish pile ; head with 

 strong punctures in front and between the eyes, none on the 

 vertex ; prothorax rather longer than broad ; scutellum sub- 

 transverse ; elytra subseriate-punctate, with several small blueish- 

 white spots scattered over them, the apex of each obliquely trun- 

 cate or broadly cuneate ; body beneath and legs dark brown, nitid, 

 the abdomen reddish ; antennae slender, dark brown, the basal half 

 of the terminal joints paler. A variety (apparently), from Bouru, 

 has a shorter prothorax.

Sybra patma. 

 S. fusca, subtilissime pubescens ; elytris basi irregulariter 

 punctatis, punctis majoribus, guttulis albis adspersis; an- 

 tennis testaceis. 

 Mab. — Amboyna. 



Broader than S. modesta, the punctures at the base of the elytra 

 larger and towards the scutellum irregularly scattered, the spots 

 fewer and more distinct ; the antennae testaceous, with a thin 

 greyish pile. It may be only a local variety. 

 Length 5 lines.

 ferruginous pile, and very small remote punctures ; in the Ceram 

 specimen (species?) the head is more strongly punctured ; scu-

 subseriate-punctate, with greyish lines in the intervals of the 

 rows (in the Bouru specimen alternating with pale ferruginous 

 lines) ; body beneath and legs brown, nitid, delicately pubescent ; 

 antennae pale brown, greyer and more pubescent towards the 

 tip. 



Length 6 lines.
