and Asiatic Species of Laius. 339 
antennal joint of the ¢ subareute and not dentate behind 
and hollowed in front. 
Three 2 ? from S. Mysore (coll. Andrewes) may belong 
here. 
24. Laius duplex, sp. n. 
2. Elongate, somewhat robust, widened posteriorly, 
shining, very sparsely, finely pubescent, and also set with 
intermixed long erect hairs, those on the elytra arising 
from the coarser punctures ; black, the antennal joints 
1-3 (the base of 1 excepted), and in one specimen the 
extreme bases of the tibisze and the tarsi in part, testaceous, 
the elytra with a broad, outwardly-widened fascia (inter- 
rupted at the suture) and a large transverse patch (not 
reaching the suture or outer margin) on the disc of each 
towards the apex whitish or brownish white; head and 
eutire prothorax very sparsely, obsoletely punctulate, the 
convex portion of the latter almost smooth, the elytra 
finely punctulate between the scattered coarse punctures. 
Head feebly foveate between the eyes, the latter prominent ; 
antennee with joints 1 and 2 elongate, stout, 1 curved, 
3-10 rather slender, all longer than broad.  Prothorax 
about as long as broad, nearly as wide as the head, 
gibbous on the disc anteriorly aud strongly constricted 
towards the base, the transverse basal sulcus long and 
deep. LElytra rather long, somewhat convex, rounded at the 
apex, gradually widening from the base. Legs long. 
Length 3-35 mm, 
Hab. Java type] and Formosa (ex coll. Bowring). 
T'wo females, the Formosan locality requiring confirmation. 
A pilose, shining black insect, with two large, sharply-defined 
whitish fasciz on each elytron, the elytra with a double 
system of puncturing, the prothorax gibbous and almost 
smooth. ‘The elytral sculpture is different from that of 
Ji. javanus, Pie (1906), and the two recorded Formosan 
species, L. latefusciatus aud L. sewmaculatus, Pic (1919), 
cannot be compared with L. duplex. 
25. Laius sexsignatus, sp. n. : 
?. Moderately elongate, narrow, very finely pubescent, 
shining ; black, the antenne (the fuscous inner edge of 
joint 1 and the terminal joints -excepted), and the legs and 
abdomen in part, testaceous, the elytra each with three 
whitish spots—one, small, humeral, one, very large, below
