Species of Alcides from the Oriental Region. A05 
sparsely punctate. Antenne with the scape as long as the 
whole funicle, which has joint 1 a little shorter than 243, 
3 to 6 bead-like and transverse, and 7 as long as the two 
basal joints of the club. Prothorax slightly broader than 
long, parallel-sided from the base to the middle, then 
roundly narrowed and with the subapical constriction rather 
shallow ; the dorsal anterior margin slightly rounded, the 
longitudinal outlme feebly curved and sloping upwards 
from the base ; the dorsum fairly closely set with markedly 
flattened granules. Scutel/um punctiform, glabrous, almost 
enclosed in front. E/ytra cylindrical, not broader than the 
prothorax, broadly rounded behind, and with a shallow 
transverse impression at the base ; the deep striz containing 
large oblong fovew, which are reduced behind the post- 
median band, so that the striz appear deeper there, but not 
deepened at the base; the intervals rather narrower than 
the striz, subcostate, rugosely punctate, and with small seti- 
form scales, which are sparse in the basal half and much 
denser at the apex. Legs (fig. 1, h) relatively short and 
stout, thinly clothed with short recumbent setz ; the an- 
terior pairs of femora with an elongate vertical tooth and 
two indistinct denticulations in front of it, the hind pair 
with a small simple tooth ; the front tibize broad, narrowing 
to the apex, the inner edge not toothed and very feebly 
bisinuate, the posterior pairs simple; the front coxze not 
tuberculate. Sternum with the front intercoxal space very 
nearly as wide as the median one ; the metasternum sparsely 
granulate towards the sides. 
Length 9°5-10°5 mm., breadth 3°5-3°6 mm. 
Java: Depok, iv. 1909 (G. H. Bryant). 
Described from two males. 
Very closely allied to A. jugalis, sp. n., but the elytra are 
more parallel-sided, and the prothorax less conical and more 
abruptly narrowed in front ; the lateral stripes on the pro- 
notum unite anteriorly before reaching the front margin ; 
the sutural stripe on the elytra is furcate posteriorly, etc. 
Alcides stevensi, sp.n. (PI. VII. fig. 6.) 
3 ¢. Integument black or piceous black, not very densely 
clothed with small pale scales, and more or less dusted with 
rust-red powder. 
Head closely punctate, the forehéad with a shallow median 
fovea. Rostrum a little shorter than the front femur in both 
sexes, nearly straight but strongly deflected, and gradually 
widened at the apex ; strongly and closely punctate through- 
out in the @, and with the punctures in the basal half more
