Olenecam/ptus cretaceus } n. sp.

 fuscis. Long. 11 lin. 3 . 



One example. 



This fine and distinct species is clothed above and beneath 

 with a white tomentum, so dense and thick that it appears like 

 chalky-white pigment ; a lateral stripe, beginning behind the 

 eye and extending along the upper flank of the thorax and the 

 margin of the elytra, remain naked (or nearly so) and of a fine 

 tawny-brown colour ; on the elytra the vitta emits a short 

 quadrate branch not far from the base, and a second a little 

 beyond the middle ; nearer the apex is a slight projecting angle 

 of the same colour. The forehead is also brown, and coarsely 

 granulate and pubescent. The antennae are about twice the 

 length of the body, naked, tawny-brown, darker at the base, 

 all the joints (especially towards the base) roughened with 

 sharp tubercles. The legs are tawny brown ; the anterior 

 femora are flexuous, nearly as in the typical species ; the tibiae 

 are also bent near the end, and serrate interiorly throughout.

Nagasaki ; common in hedges. Also I. of Formosa and 

 Hong-Kong. 



The species varies much in size, and also in the relative 

 length and breadth of the thorax ; but Japanese specimens are 

 not specifically distinguishable from Chinese.

Hiogo, on bamboo fences ; larvae feed in the interior of the 

 stems. Also I. of Formosa. 



Distinguished by the form of its elytra — gradually narrowed 

 and sloping from the basal crests to the apex, with produced 

 divaricate apices. In fresh, unabraded examples the head,
