Very similar in form to M. myops, but decidedly broader or 

 more ovate, and antenniferous tubercles in the male less pro- 

 minent at the apex. The head and thorax are covered with 

 small, shining, black granulations, and more speckled with 

 bright tawny than in M. myops ; the four black lineoles much 

 less distinct. The elytra have no trace of the black transverse 

 discoidal spot beyond the middle ; they are more densely and 

 largely granulated over their basal half, and are rather evenly 

 sprinkled with wavy specks of bright tawny tomentum, the 

 ground-colour being dark shining brown, with rounded spots of 

 black tomentum. 



Mesosa perplexa^ Pascoe. 



Mesosa perplexa, Pascoe, I'rans. Ent, Soc. ser. 2, vol. iv. p. 243. 



Apparently not uncommon. Also N. China and I. of For- 

 mosa. 



This species differs considerably from the typical Mesosfp, 

 having a distinct anterior lateral tubercle to the thorax, and 

 forehead very slightly concave between the antenniferous 

 tubercles. The disk of the thorax, however, is not grossly 

 tuberculatc, as in Coptops ; and the eleventh antennal joint in 

 the male is shorter than the tenth, and quite straight.
