 a white tomeutum, legs marked as in inoniatus ; head with a white superciliary 

 stripe, which becomes yellowish belaud. 



Pronotnm : a lav<;e triangular basal mesial patch which reaches to middle, 

 irrcnlar, coulluent lateral nuirkiiigs, and two converging dorsal apical lines ending 

 each in a dot in middle of i)ronotnm, pale clay-colour. The black spots of the elytra 

 almost regularly distributed, of unequal size, partly confluent. Breast with black 

 lateral sjiots. Abdominal segments brownish black basally, the dark tomeutum 

 more extended laterally than in middle.

Aulodina gen. nov. 



(? ? . Similar to Atdoiles and Anaulodes in the long cylindrical shape of the 

 body, connecting these genera with PIdot'obiua by the peculiar position of the 

 autennal groove and the shape of the eye. 



Mandible long and slender. Rostrum very short, shallowly sinuate, the angles 

 rounded, upperside nearly flat, slightly impressed transversely at the base. Frons 

 broad, without grooves. Eye deeply sinuate, the upi)er ]iortion narrower than the 

 lower. Antennal groove lateral. Antenna (c?) reaching middle of elytrum, or ( ?) 

 only base ; gradually incrassate to end in <?, without abrupt club, segments 2 = 3 = 4, 

 segment 5 a little shorter, G to 8 of equal length, 9 = 4, 10 a little shorter, 11 some- 

 what longer ; in ? with a brosid abrupt club, formed by segments 9. 1(1. 11, segments 

 2 = 3 = .'i, 4 a little longer and (i = 7=S shorter tiian those, 9 longer than 10. 

 Pronotum somewhat longer than broad, convex, apex suddenly narrowed, the sides 

 therefore almost i)rojecting in a dorsal view ; carina rectangular, reaching middle of 

 sides. Elytrum not striped, only the sutural stripe being vestigial ; sntural angle 

 somewhat rounded, not dentiform. Third tarsal segment broad. 



Tyjie : A. unicolor. 



4. Aulodina unicolor sp. nov. 



S ?. Black, densely and uniformly covered with a bluish grey tomeutum, only 

 the three last segments of the antenna brownish black. Upperside densely 

 reticulate with ]ranctures, the elytrum besides with indistinctly seriated larger 

 punctures. Pygidium rounded-truncate. 



Length (head excl.) : c?, 4J mm. ; ? , 5| mm.

5. Rawasia grisesceus sji. nov. 



S ?. Black, thinly covered with a grey tomontum, marked with dispersed grey 

 dots. Segments 'i to 7 of antenna at apex, and the whole eighth, grey. Tibiae with 

 a narrow basal and a broader ajiical grey ring ; tarsi grey. Rostrum longer than 

 broad in J, as broad as long in ?, somewiuit flattened at base, without carina in S, 

 with trace of it in ? near apex : Irons irregularly striate. Antennal groove more open 

 than in Indian liawa»ia. Antenna reaching in <S middle, in ? base of elytrum ; 

 scment 8 shorter than in typical llawunia. Pronotum coarsely punctured, longer
