species of the Genus Adoretus. 599 



on eacli side of the nikldle line of the pronotuni reddi.sh ; 

 fairly closely clothed with uniform short setse, except upon 

 the pyoidiuui, which bears rather long erect hair. 



It is elongate, rather parallel-sided, and depressed. The 

 eyes are large and prominent, the head closely granulated 

 except upon the vertex, which is strongly punctured, and the 

 clypeus is short and transverse. The pronotum is very short, 

 strongly and closely punctured, strongly rounded at the sides, 

 with the front angles nearly right angles and the hind angles 

 entirely rounded off. The scutellum and elytra are strongly 

 and closely punctured, the costae of the latter moderately 

 distinct. The antennae are 10- jointed, joints 3 to 7 regularly 

 diminishing in length. The front tibia bears three strong 

 teeth, the second nearer to the terminal one than to tlie third, 

 and the longer claw of the front and middle feet is cleft. 



It is closely related to A. crihratus, White, and A. hir~ 

 manus, but differs from both in having the hind angles of the 

 pronotum completely rounded off. The pronotum is also 

 less densely punctured than that of A. cribratus. 



I have seen two males only. One of them is in Mr. H. E. 

 Andrewes's collection, the other has been given by him to 

 the National Collection.

Pale yellow, with the tarsi and clypeus red and the vertex 

 of the head nearly black ; thinly clothed with minute greyish 

 seise. Very long and cylindrical, with the head not very 

 wide and the clyfieus relatively moderately large, the latter 

 semicircular, with strongly reflexed margin. The head is 

 transversely rugulose, the clypeus rather laxly. Tlie pro- 

 notum is coarsely but very scantily punctured (a little more 

 closely at the sides), with the lateral margins strongly 

 rounded, the front angles acute and the hind angles com- 

 pletely rounded away. The scutellum is sparingly punctured 

 and the elytra moderately strongly and closely, with not very 

 well-marked costaj. The pygidium is finely coriaceous and 

 clothed with short erect seta;. The front tibia is armed with
