236 Mr. G. Lewis on 



liumeral stria is wide in the middle and well sliortened at 

 both ends, first dorsal basal and well marked, with a rather 

 long and straight appendage, with a puncture within its 

 apical end, representing, perhaps, an appendage to the second 

 stria, second stria also basal and half the length of the first ; 

 the propygidiuni is bi-impressed posteriorly, and in the im- 

 pressions the punctures are somewhat closf, on either side 

 there are a few ocellate punctures, along the base and on the 

 disc the punctures are very small and few; the pygidium is 

 cofirsely and densely punctate ; the mentum is rather wide 

 and the carina obscure, being seen only in certain lights ; 

 the prosternum is triangularly widened at the base and the 

 anterior lobe is laterally striate ; the anterior tibiae are 

 4-dentate. 



This species differs from all the known Asian species by 

 the position of the thoracic fossettes ; those of 11. dyak are 

 very similar, but the thoracic angle is emarginate and the 

 fossette is behind the emargination.

Ilololepta comis, sp. n. 



OLlongo ovalis, rlepressa, nigra, nitida ; fronte bistriata ; pronoto 

 laterihus modice punctate ; clj tris stria 1 dorsali in medio 

 evanescenti vel subiuterrui^ta ; propygidio bifoveolato, circum 

 grosse et minute punctate ; pygidio dense punctato. 



L. 71 mill, (absque mandibulis). 



Oblong-oval, depressed, black, and shining; the head bi- 

 striate, with a very fine punctuation above ; the thorax, 

 lateral stria ceases after passing the anterior angle, within 

 tiie stria in the median area there is a small cluster of punc- 

 tures which are continued anteriorly in fewer and finer 

 points; the elytra, subhumeral stria reaches the base, is very 

 broad in the middle and a little shortened before the apex, 

 first dorsal fine and broken or evanescent before the middle, 

 second short, basal, with a very small appendage at the apex ; 

 the propygidiuni has two shallow fovese punctate, the disc is 

 smooth and surrounded with scattered punctures of various 

 sizes, a few near the middle being the largest ; the pygidium 

 is densely punctate ; the prosternum, keel narrow but trian- 

 gularly wide at the base ; the anterior tibias are 4-(lentate, 

 the two at the apex are robust and close together, the inter- 

 mediate are 3-dentate, with the apical tooth bifid.
