338. Demonax albosignatus, sp. n. 



Elongate ; black ; head and prothorax covered with dark 

 grey pubescence ; prothorax bordered with white pubescence at 

 the base on each side, marked above with a median, slightly raised, 

 asperate black band. Elytra brownish black, slightly tomentose, 

 marked with narrow bands of whitish pubescence : the first band 

 crosses at the base and, just before reaching the shoulder, turns 

 straight back and extends a short distance along the disc : the 

 second band begins at the suture at a short distance behind the 

 scutellum, diverges slightly from the suture as it passes backwards, 

 and at about one-third from the base crosses the disc transversely, 

 it is sometimes angulately dilated at its outer end, a little in front 

 of which there is a small subrnarginal white spot ; the third band 

 crosses transversely a little in front of the apical third, at the 

 suture it is produced in front as a very narrow band, and is some- 

 times also produced posteriorly; the apex is rather broadly 

 covered with a baud of ashy-grey pubescence, from which a 

 narrow sutural band of whitish pubescence extends in front. 

 Body beneath covered with ashy-grey pubescence, the episterna of 

 the meso- and metathorax and the sides of the abdomen more 

 densely covered with whitish pubescence. Antennae black, faintly 

 covered with grey pubescence ; a little longer than the body in 

 the o , shorter in the $ ; third and fourth joints very feebly 

 spined at the apex. Prothorax much longer than broad, slightly 

 rounded at the sides ; the disc with a median and two feebler 

 lateral elevations, the surface asperate, especially along the median 

 band. Legs black, rather faintly covered with grey pubescence ; 

 the hind femora extend by nearly a third of their length past the 

 apex of the elytra in both sexes ; first joint of hind tarsi twice as 

 long as the second and third united. 



Length 10-13 ; breadth 2-2f mm.

339. Demonax oblongomaculatus, sp. n. 



Black, densely covered above with grey or yellowish-grey 

 pubescence. Elytra marked each with a somewhat variable number 

 of small oblong black spots ; one of these is on the disc, nearer 

 to the suture than to the side, at a very short distance from the 

 base, and is followed by a small sutural spot to which it is some- 

 times joined, three spots are placed in a transverse row at the 

 middle or a little before it, and three smaller spots form another 

 transverse series at a short distance behind the middle; the
