408 Dr. G. A. K. Marshall on new 
starting from the front margin of the pronotum on a line 
with the inner edge of the eye, running on to the elytra on 
the base of interval 5, almost immediately passing to 6 and 
continuing on it for one-third the length, then passing to 7 
and there continued to the apex, though sometimes more or 
less broadly interrupted behind the middle; at about one- 
third from the base the longitudinal stripe emits a transverse 
band of the same width reaching almost to the suture and 
sloping slightly backwards, and at two-thirds the length a 
similar but much more oblique, and therefore longer, band ; 
between these bands, but on the outer side of the stripe, two 
short, variable, and often irregular bands usually reaching 
stria 9; stria 1 with a row of pale dots on the declivity, each 
formed of about four scales (often abraded); the prothorax 
with a sharply-defined, narrow, lateral stripe extending from 
the postocular lobe to the basal constriction on a line with 
stria 10; the lower surface fairly densely clothed with small 
pale scales and buff powdering. 
Head with close shallow punctation, the forehead with a 
transverse depression covered with dense scaling. Rostrum 
elongate, cylindrical, scarcely widened at the apex, feebly 
curved, coarsely punctate, and dorsally bicarinate as far as 
the antennz, each of the punctures containing a scale, and 
the apical area with small sparse punctures ; in the 9 
long as but distinctly more slender than in the g, but the 
punctation only very slightly finer. Antenne inserted a 
little beyond the middle in both sexes, the scape as long as 
the funicle, of which joint 1 is shorter than 243, 3 to 6 are 
transverse, and 7 is about as long as the club. Prothorax 
rather broader than long, rounded at the sides, widest 
behind the middle, constricted at the base and more strongly 
so in front ; the dorsal apical margin gently rounded, the 
longitudinal outline feebly convex ; the dorsum evenly set 
with low granules, the apical area shallowly punctate. 
Scutellum not enclosed, small, transverse, smooth, and bare. 
Elyitra subcylindrical, a little bro ader at the shoulders than 
the base of the prothorax, obtusely acuminate behind, and 
with a strong transverse basal impression ; the shallow ‘strize 
with large quadrate punctures as far as the posterior band, 
behind which the striz are deeper and the punctures much 
smaller and shallower, the punctures without scales or 
granules ; the intervals narrower than the striz, subcostate, 
vith small indistinct granules, which are more numerous at 
the base, and with microscopic sete. Legs (fig. 1, 7) rather 
long and slender, with coarse shallow punctures, each of 
which contains a scale; the femora with a sharp simple
