 with greyish yellow hair. Pronotum closely and finely punctured, 

 with a greyish yellow hair in each puncture. Scutellum and 

 elytra closely and rugosely punctured and setose, with the hairs 

 rather longer near the extremities and with only slight vestiges 

 of smooth costae traceable here and there. Pygidium rather 

 convex, moderately evenly punctured and shortly hairy. Claws 

 rather short, those of the front and middle feet not very unequal, 

 the inner hind claw very small and slender.

312. Rhamphadoretus suillus, sp. nov. 



Testaceous yellow, with the forehead, the pronotum (except the 



sides), scutellum, sutural edges of the elytra, and the tarsi brown 



or reddish. 



It is ovate, not very elongate, convex, smooth and shining, the 

 upper surface coarsely and not closely punc- 

 tured, with extremely minute, very sparse, 

 inconspicuous pale setae. The head is finely 

 and not closely transversely strigose, the 

 clypeus semicircular, with its margin strongly 

 reflexed. The pronotum is convex, coarsely 

 and irregularly punctured, with the sides 

 evenly rounded, the front angles almost 

 right angles and the hind angles very obtuse. 

 The elytra are also rather coarsely and not 

 closely punctured and bear three slightly 

 elevated costse ; the scattered setae are a 

 little closer together near the margins. The 

 pygidium is clothed, like the lower surtace 



of the body, with rather , longer and closer hairs. The front tibia 



is armed with three strong and sharp teeth. 



cJ . The eyes are very large and the clypeus small. The longer 



claw of the front and middle feet is extremely minutely cleft 



above the tip. 



9 . The head is much smaller, and the tarsi are much shorter,
