398 Dr. G. A. K. Marshall on new 
broad bilateral stripe extending obliquely from the front 
margin to the basal angle below the shoulder of the elytra; 
the elytra with a slightly oblique dorsal stripe from the base 
to about one-third the length, starting at the base on 
intervals 2 and 3 and ending on intervals 3-5; behind the 
middle a complete broad transverse band gradually widening 
outwardly and curving forwards at the sides, being usually 
continued as a narrow stripe along interval 8 to the base ; 
and, finally, a broad V-shaped mark at the apex on 
intervals 3 and 7-9, not uniting with the transverse band ; 
the lower surface with dense pale scaling and yellow dusting 
throughout. 
Head coriaceous on the vertex, the forehead sparsely 
punctate and with a shallow median fovea. Rostrum only a 
little longer in ? than in @, strongly deflexed, slightly 
curved distally, cylindrical as far as the antenne and very 
little wider beyond; in the ¢ closely and fairly strongly 
punctured throughout, with a short smooth median hne 
between the antennee, and the submentum with a downwardly 
projecting tooth; in the 2 the punctures rather smaller 
and separated. Antenne inserted well beyond the middle in 
both sexes, the scape longer than the funicle ; joint 2 of the 
funicle as long as but much more slender than 1, 3 to 5 equal 
and as long as or a little longer than broad, 6 wider and 
longer than broad, 7 as long as the first two joints of the 
club. Prothorax widest at the base, subconical, the sides 
gently rounded and distinctly constricted near the apex; the 
anterior dorsal margin feebly rounded, the postocular lobes 
distinct and heavily fringed; the dorsal outline sloping 
gently near the apex and plane behind ; the dorsum closely 
set with somewhat depressed, forwardly directed, and pointed 
granules, each bearing a recumbent seta, but the apical area 
only with sparse shallow punctures. Scutellum not enclosed, 
subcircular or slightly transverse, bare, smooth, plane or 
with a more or less distinct median depression. Elytra 
subcylindrical, a trifle broader than the base of the pro- 
thorax, the basal lobes not very strongly produced, and the 
apices separately rounded ; the striaz containing large deep 
punctures as far as the postmedian band, beyond which the 
punctures disappear, striz 4 and 5 being deeper at the base 
and curved outwards; the intervals even, rugulose, and 
sometimes indistinctly granulate, the non-squamose parts 
fairly densely clothed with short curved setz and thinly 
covered with yellow or reddish powdering; a broad deep 
impression behind the scutellum, the pre-apical impression 
shallow. Legs (fig. 1,¢) rather elongate, rugulose; the
