neir Species of Pyrocliroidse. 531 



antico fulvis ; capitc fusco, et dimidio clytrorum postico nigro ; 

 capito siniplice ; antcuuis maris giacile pectiuatis, feminte 

 robustioribus. 

 Long. 12-14 mm. 



Ildh. Sumatra. 



This species resembles P. hipartita, Pic, but may be distin- 

 guished by the bhick portion ot the elytra being most advanced 

 alonn the suture, whence it curves backwards, to advance a 

 little again at the extreme margin. In hipartita, a specimen 

 of which M. Pic has kindly forwarded for comparison, the 

 line of demarcation is siiarjjer, and retreats at first from the 

 suture, to return at a sharp angle, and finally reach the 

 margin considerably in advance of its siitural limit. In 

 ditn'idiala the front of the head is undulate in both sexes, 

 while behind the eyes the head is almost angled. The 

 branches ot the antennee are long and slender in the male, 

 shorter and stouter in the female. The prothorax is slightly 

 transverse, much narrower in front than behind, and thickly 

 clothed with a reddi.sh pubescence. The elj'tra are narrow, 

 divergent behind, and distinctly striped. 



Coll. Mus. Geneva. 



Dendroides assamensis, sp. n. 



Parum elongatus, deprcssus, fulvus ; prothorace postice late de- 



presso ; antennis maris graciliter, feminae validius pectinatis. 

 Long. 10-14 mm. 



Hah. Assam, Sumatra. 



The large eyes, closely approximated above in the male 

 and less so in the female, indicate the genus of this species. 

 In the male they a])proach more closely than in Z^. ?i?^>o«e?2s?5, 

 Lewis, though rather less so than in the N. American species. 

 The face is excavated before the eyes, the posterior side more 

 steeply than the anterior. The antennaj are pectinate, as in 

 ■nipone7isis, the branches are rather finer than in that species, 

 tut not so fine as those of cowcc/or, Newm. The prothorax 

 is slightly transverse, somewhat narrower in front than behind, 

 with the sides evenly rounded. The disc is widely depressed, 

 the depression almost reaching the posterior margin. The 

 elytra are expanded and flattened posteriorly and faintly 

 costate. The limbs and underside are pitchy biown. 



There is a speciaien from Sumatra in the Museo Civico, 

 Genova, that agrees very closely with those from Assam.
