sporsis, lincatim punctatis, apice singulatim triangulariter pro- 

 ductis ; thorace crebre punctulato. Long. 3-4| lin. 



Abundant on Cissus. 



NaiTow, linear, light brown, thickly clothed with short, ad- 

 pressed, yellowish, scale-like hairs, the elytra (very distinctly 

 and evenly lineate-punctate) having a number of small, 

 roundish, isolated, cretaceous spots, about 12 in number, on 

 each ; the apex is on each side triangularly produced. The 

 thorax is long and narrow, closely punctured, and having four 

 short whitish streaks- 

 behind. The antenna3 are pitchy red. 



Syhra ordinata^ n. sp. 



B. angusto-elliptica, elongata, fusca, nifescenti-fu3co siiblineatim 

 variegata ; au tennis ( J ) corpore tricnte longioribus, rufescentibus, 

 scapo bre\-i ovato-clavato ; thorace grosse subsparsim punctate ; 

 elytris omiiino striato-punctatis, apice oblique truncatis, angulis 

 exterioribus productis. Long. 4| lin. 



Hiogo ; on dead (7^ssMs-stems. 



An elongated species, tapering a little to both extremities ; 

 scarcely convex, with elytra declivous from base to apex. The 

 colour is dingy brown, clothed with laid pubescence, varied 

 with tawny reddish, chiefly in indistinct lines down the flat 

 interstices of the well-marked rows of punctures of the elytra. 

 The thorax is nearly cylindrical, the sides being scarcely 

 rounded. The sides of the breast have a few large punctures. 



Syhra crihrella^ n. sp. 



S. elongato-oblonga, convexa ; fusca, griseo-ochreo indistincte varie- 

 gata ; capite et thorace elytris multo angustioribus, fortiter 

 punctatis, hoc breviter cylindrico, linea dorsali interrupta Isevi ; 

 elytris convexis, postice declivibus, apice brevissime oblique trun- 

 catis, crebre sublineatim punctatis, interstitiis nonnullis paulo 

 elevatis. Long. 3|-4 lin. 



Moon-temple, Kob^. 



Approaches Praonetha by its rather convex form and com- 

 paratively narrow head and thorax. The notch of the middle 

 tibiae is placed near the end, and distinct, as in Apomecyna. 

 The antennae are of the length of the body, and dull rufescent. 

 There is a slight elevation in the situation of the centro-basal 

 ridges of the elytra. The colour and markings are very ob- 

 scure and variable ; sometimes there is a trace of a lateral 

 cinerous patch on the elytra. The breast beneath is closely 

 and strongly punctured.
