9. Acmocera lutosa sj),'c. nov. 



c? ? . Similar iu shape and structure to .1. antkriboides, occiput and elj'tra 

 more densely punctured. Toraentum clay-colour, forming a broad mesial vitta on 

 the pronotum, and several markings on the elytra : namely, a narrow band from 

 scntellum oblii][nely behind shonlder towards outer margin, a pentagonal sutural 

 patch just before middle, an M-sliaped ahteapical band common to both elytra, 

 and an angle-shaped marginal spot at the tip of each elytrum. Smaller than 

 A. antkribonlcs, and the elytra rather more flat. End-segment of antenna tawny- 

 brown.

 Head and thorax finely shagreened, frons dispersedly punctured ; a few punctures 

 on occiput near eyes. Pronotum short, almost twice as broad as long (side-spine 

 excl.), smooth, except a very few punctures at the base of the spiue ; transverse 

 subapieal groove deep and sharply impressed. Elytra conical ; shoulders jirominent, 

 subcarinate ; puncturation dense and coarse, except at apex, which is almost 

 smooth. Tibiae not distinctly carinate. Antenna : in c? more than twice the 

 length of, in ? one-third longer than, the body ; scape long, slender, end-segment 

 as long as third in S , gradually ta{)ering, but not pointed, clothed with single long 

 hairs, which are denser at apex ; in ? half the length of the third or less, not 

 awl-shaped. 



Tomentum luteons grey, somewhat maculate, condensed beneath the eye and at 

 the base of the pronotal spine. Pronotum with a clayish, irregular line on each side 

 of disc, the lines merged together behind. Elytra marked with two transverse 

 blackish bands, one snbbasal, situated at the highest point of the elytra, bordered 

 in front by condensed luteous tomentum, the other postmedian, irregular, zigzag, 

 followed by a clayish apical area, which includes a brown N on each elytroi'.
