Mr. F. P. Pascoc on new Species q/" Lamiidffi. 205 



An isolated species in coloration, but in form coming nearest 

 to A. arnica and A. j^olynesus ; but with a more decidedly 

 ti-ansverse prothorax than either. 



Coptops ceyiturio. 



C. nigra, fulvo-ccrvino pubcscons, maculisque albis intcrjectis ; ely- 

 tris maculis nigris fasciis duabus formantibus. 



Hah. India. 



Black, closely covered with a fulvous fawn-coloured pubes- 

 cence, spotted with white, and on the elytra having two im- 

 perfect black bands formed of numerous approximate and 

 contiguous spots ; head very sparsely punctured ; prothorax 

 very irregular above, the basal tubercle, as Avell as the two 

 anterior, rather strongly marked ; scutellum very broad at the 

 base, incm-ved at the sides, tnincate at the apex ; elytra 

 sparingly punctured, each puncture in the centre of a white 

 spot, the first band midway between the base and middle, the 

 second a little behind the middle ; body beneath greyish ful- 

 vous, the middle of each abdominal segment with a sulitrian- 

 gular black denuded patch ; legs and antennae Avith fulvous 

 fawn and dark brown pile. Length 10 lines, 



A very distinct species, apparently most allied to C. pe- 

 tecliialis. 



Crossotus stup)ticus. 



C. confuse griseo tomentosus ; prothoracc sparse punctato ; clytris 

 basi fusco nebulosis, utrinque pone medium macula transversa 

 fuscesceutc ; tibiis anticis parum arcuatis. 



Ilab. Damaraland. 



Dark bro-vvn, covered Avith a grey, more or less confusedly 

 s))otted with darker grey, irregular tomentum ; head with a 

 narrow black impressed median line, an oblique line also on 

 the vertex on each side ; prothorax short, broader at the base 

 than at the apex, a stout spine on each side behind the middle, 

 with a few distinct punctures above, an imdefined brown stripe 

 above the s})ine ; scutellum truncate at the apex ; elytra with 

 a few punctures at the base, and three or four small tufts of 

 black hairs on each, including one on the shoulder, obscurely 

 clouded witli brown, behiiul the middle a brownish transverse 

 spot near the outer margin ; body beneath, legs, and seai)e of 

 the antenna? grey speckled with brown, the rest of the joints 

 greyish, gradually darker towards their apices, all those at 

 the base with a rather dense black fringe. Length 9 lines. 



This species, besides its coloiu-, has a more transverse pro- 

 thorax than C. ji/innicorni's or C\ natakjisis, which ai)pear to
