Hah. Sumatra. 



A rather dull, broad species. The antennae are robust and 

 stronglj' dentate. Thorax transverse, broadest at the posterior 

 angles (which are acute), impressed on each side ; the mesial carina 

 is doubled rather behind the middle. Elytra at the base not broader 

 than the thorax, rather wider towards the apex ; the extreme base 

 and the four strong costae for half their length rusty yellow, rather 

 strongly punctate-striate in double lines, the lines divided by a very 

 fine costa. 



Bulenides turbidus. 



(Plate IX. fig. 4.) 



Nigro-fuscus, opacus ; thorace rufo-ochraceo, crebre punctato, 

 medio carina distincta postice duplicata, disco utrinque infuscato ; 

 elytris quadricostatis,interstitiis biseriatim fortiter punctatis, seriebus 

 linea tenui divisis. $ . Long. 5| lin. 



Hab. Sumatra. 



Rather more elongate than B. pauj^er, the thorax less transverse 

 and less rounded in front. Thorax with the margins broadly re- 

 flexed and rather thickly punctured ; the mesial carina is very 

 distinct, divided posteriorly into two parallel carinas. Elytra each 

 with four strong costae, the interstices with two rows of strong 

 (slightly transverse) punctures, the rows divided by a fine line which 

 is scarcely raised. 



Bulenides dubius. 

 (Plate IX. fig. 5.) 



Fuscus, parum nitidus ; thorace fusco-testaceo, lateribus parum 

 reflexis, disco utrinque fortiter impresso, antice carina brevi, medio 

 areola lanceolata ; elytris basi plus minusve fusco-flavis, quadri- 

 costatis, interstitiis biseriatim punctatis, seriebus basi costa tenui 

 divisis. Long. 3 lin. 



Hah. Borneo. 



Thorax obscure testaceous, rather dusky at the base ; the carina 

 is scarcely perceptible in front, and is divided posteriorly into two. 

 Elytra parallel, fuscous, paler at the base ; each elytron with four di-
