The yellow spots on the elytra are as follows :—One basal sub- 
circular, one marginal ante median much like the corresponding 
spot in A. Samouwelli, one post median fasciaform but not nearly 
reaching the suture, one half-way between the last mentioned and 
the apex rotundate. The fig. of A. dilutipes, V. de Poll (Tijd, 
voor Ent. XX XIT., pl. i., fig. 17) would represent this species 
if the spots near the middle of the suture were removed, the 
apical spots brought forward, and the legs differently coloured.

BUBASTODES (gen. nov.). 
Bubasti similis sed antennis brevibus, foveis poriferis in articul- 
orum facie interna positis ; scutello perparvo. 
I think this genus is allied to Bubastes, which it closely re- 
sembles in its cylindric and robust appearance and general style 
of colours, pattern, and sculpture ; but its antenne are those of a 
Chrysobothris, and its scutellum is little more than punctiform. 
In the example before me the basal ventral segment is longi- 
tudinally sulcate. 
B. sulcicollis, sp. nov. Robusta; subcylindrica; sat nitida; 
supra vix perspicue, subtus sparsim breviter, pubescens ; 
obscure enea, elytris viridibus (certo adspectu obscure 
cupreo-micantibus) ; capite convexo crasse ruguloso in medio 
longitudinaliter carinato, clypeo antice fortiter emarginato ; 
prothorace quam longiori dimidio (postice quam antice 
quarta parte) latiori, late profunde canaliculato, crasse nec 
crebre (latera versus sat crebre) umbilicato-punctulato, 
lateribus fortiter rotundatis, margine antico leviter sinuato- 
emarginato postico leviter bisinuato, angulis anticis acute 
vix productis posticis subrectis; elytris ineequaliter minus 
fortiter punctulato-rugulosis, striatis, lateribus haud crenu- 
latis, ad apicem oblique obsolete emarginatis ; corpore sub- 
tus in medio pedibusque sparsim crasse, illo ad latera crebre 
magis subtiliter, punctulato-rugulosis. Long., 74 1.; lat.,

The description of Castalia globithorax, Thoms. (which its 
author thought might form a new genus), suggests the probability 
of its being congeneric with this insect, but it is evidently not
