leaving upon each elytron four or five longitudinal series of 

 small bare spots, between which the scales are rather more closely 

 aggregated. The apical calli are very prominent and bear thick 

 tut'ts of short white setae. The scales of the pronotum are rather 

 more closely aggregated at a short distance from the outer 

 margin on each side. 



It is a large compact species, ovate and moderately convex, 

 with short stout legs. The head and pronotum are densely 

 granular, the clypeus nearly semicircular, the eyes prominent ; 

 the prothorax short, the sides gently rounded, the front angles 

 acute and the hind angles distinct but obtuse. The elytral costae 

 are moderately distinct, and the intervals closely and finely 

 punctured. The pygidium is conical and bears long outstanding 

 hairs at its apex. The front tibia bears three small very acute 

 teeth, placed close together at the extremity and separated from 

 one another by acute notches. The upper part is finely serrated.

Brown, densely clothed with decumbent grey setae, which 

 form alternate denuded and densely covered patches upon the 

 elytra. The apical protuberances of the latter 

 are prominent and slightly tufted, and there are 

 two strong tubercles upon the pygidium before 

 the extremity, which bear thick tufts of white 

 setae. 



It is small and narrowly elongate, densely and 

 rugosely punctured above and beneath. The 

 head is large, with prominent eyes and broadly 

 semicircular clypeus. Thesidesof the pronotum 

 are moderately rounded, the front angles slightly

Adoretus bicaudatns. elytral epipleurae are not developed. The sides 

 of the abdomen are sharply carinate, and the 

 posterior edge of the propygidium is also sharply elevated and united 

 with the lateral carinae by a short ridge on each side, in which the 

 last spiracle is situated. The continuous carina so formed coincides 

 with the outer edges of the elytra. The legs are rather short, the 

 hind pair very short and thick ; the front tibia is armed with 

 three short teeth, the uppermost further from the second than 

 that is from the first and separated by a rather sharp notch ; 

 the larger claw is minutely cleft in the front and middle feet, 

 and the shorter claw of the hind foot is Jess than half the length
