tarsi) in part black; the vestiture brownish, fine, and 

 close, that on the metasternnm and elytral fascia cinereous 

 or white; the apical three joints of the antennae rather 

 stout, 9 and 10 a little longer than broad ; the elytra shining, 

 transversely depressed below the base, somewhat roughly 

 punctulate, and also finely punctato-striate down the 

 anterior half of the disc. Length 3-4 mm. The type was 

 probably somewhat abraded. M. japonica, Harold, from 

 Japan, is an allied non-fasciate form.

Hab. India, Dacca. 



The insect from Dacca in the Pascoe collection, supposed 

 to be the type of M. fumosa* is very like M. nankinea, 

 Pic, from which it differs in having the elytra rufescent at 

 the apex, and much more distinctly punctato-striate, the 

 prothorax more dilated anteriorly, and the occipital groove 

 deeper. Pascoe, however, says nothing about the broad 

 black elytral fascia, but his description agrees in other 

 respects. The length given is 2^ lin. 



13. Macratria dichroa, n. sp. 



Elongate, narrow, shining, clothed with rather long, decumbent, 

 whitish hairs, which are uniseriately arranged down each of the 

 elytral interstices; rufous, the head in the middle above, the eyes, 

 a very broad post-median fascia on the elytra (extending forwards 

 along the suture and outer margin to the base), the posterior 

 femora and tibiae (the knees excepted), and the abdomen in part, 

 black or piceous, the mouth-parts, palpi, antennae (the infuscate 

 joints 9-11 excepted), anterior and intermediate legs, and posterior 

 tarsi testaceous. Head transverse, well developed behind the 

 moderately large eyes, subtruncate at the base, minutely punctate, 

 the occipital groove short ; antennae rather short, slender, joints 

 9-11 thickened, 9 and 10 about as broad as long. Proi 

 convex, longer than broad, oval, a little wider than the head, 

 slightly dilated on each side at the base behind the trail 

 groove ; scabroso-punctate. Elytra moderately long, rather narrow, 

 wider than the prothorax, subparallel in their basal half; conspicu- 

 ously striato-punctate, the interstices faintly costate externally 



* It bears the MS. name adamsi in bis handwriting.
