terrupted one towards the apex, with several spots, black, each band 

 bordered with dull fulvous; femora and tibiae greyish, ringed with 

 black, tarsi black, base of the claw-joint only grey; body beneath dull 

 brown, with a very thin greyish pile. Length 5 lines. 



E-esembles the last in colour, only it is much less pure, and the 

 elytra has not the ashy base of that species. The prothorax is un- 

 usually short for an Agelasta. 



Agelasta catenata. 



A. piceo-fusca, pilosa, atra, murino alboque lineata ; antennis pedibusque 

 annulatis, illaruni articulis terminalibus brevibus, ciliatis. 



JIab. Cambodia. 



Pitchy brown verging to black, with a short close pile, running in 

 narrow, longitudinal, irregular and partially inten'upted lines of brown- 

 ish grey and white, bearing similar lines, or here and there on the 

 elytra spots, of the black epiderm between them ; antennae scarcely 

 longer than the body, more or less brown an^ black, the fourth to the 

 seventh joints inclusive white at the base, the apex of the latter and 

 the remainder (which are much shorter) densely ciliated beneath ; legs 

 greyish white varied with brown ; tarsi greyish white, the apex of the 

 fourth joint and claws black ; body beneath pitchy black, with a greyish- 

 white pubescence. Length 7^ lines. 



The specimen described above is probably, from the structure of 

 the antennae, a female ; the same crowding together of the terminal 

 joints is seen also, and in the same sex, in A. polynesus, White. 

 Like the last, it was sent from Cambodia by M. Mouhot.

Eobust, dark brown, covered with short closely set hairs; head 

 slightly gibbous between the eyes, with an impressed longitudinal line, 

 rusty yellow, more or less varied with dark brown ; prothorax trans- 

 verse, narrow anteriorly, the disk irregular, bituberculate at the side ; 

 an impressed line posteriorly, rusty yellow, with three longitudinal 

 bands on the disk ; scutellum transverse, rounded below, black, the 

 sides paler ; elytra much broader than the prothorax, gradually narrow- 

 ing from the shoulders, which are very prominent and produced ante- 

 riorly, a small tubercle at the base, covered with pale-yellowish hairs, 

 and irregularly spotted with black, particularly at the base, where they
