Fuscous-brown, with the elytra, abdomen, and legs chestnut-brown ; 
palpi and antenne flavous; the frontal part bears long, fulvous hairs; 
the prothorax has a lateral fringe of similar hairs, and the pectus is 
only moderately hairy ; clypeus slightly obliquely expanded laterally 
towards the broadly arcuate apical part with the margins strongly 
reflexed, covered, exceptalong the anterior margins, with conspicuously 
asperous punctures bearing each a long cilia, the head is simple and 
punctulate ; prothorax glabrous on the disk, moderately ampliate 
laterally, only slightly attenuate from the median part to the rounded 
posterior angles and covered with fine, closely set round punctures, 
the base is pubescent in front of the scutellum which is cordate, 
glabrous and faintly aciculate in the basal part; elytra sinuate 
laterally in front of the median part, slightly ampliated thence, and 
covered with somewhat deep but not broad, nearly equi-distant 
punctures, the juxta-sutural stria is very plain, and there are three 
somewhat faint ones on each side; the propygidium is almost entirely 
covered by the elytra, the pygidium is broad, convex, very much 
drawn forwards and has a fringe of very long, flavescent hairs ; the 
abdominal segments are very hairy, and so is the inner part of the 
posterior tibia.

ACHELYNA TESTACEA, N. spec. 
Shaped as the preceding species, but a little larger; the colour is 
testaceous-red, and the elytra reddish-yellow, the hairs on the head 
and along the prothorax are of a lighter yellow, the sculpture is 
nearly the same, but the asperous punctures on the basal part of the 
clypeus are not quite so conspicuous, and the clypeus is straight
