154 Major T. Bronn on new Gowra and 



a ridge formed by subereot testaceous or pale brown scales, 

 on each shoulder there is usually a shorter dark one ; there 

 is also a transverse ])ale spot at each side in line with the 

 hind thigh ; the lateral punctuation is coarse, sometimes 

 ibvciform. The legs bear numerous dark outstanding sefse. 



CA«^er5?V/6' dull piceous, with rather coarse punctures; in 

 each of these there is a depressed, elongated, yellowish 

 scale ; the fifth ventral segment is rufescent and broadly 

 depressed at each side.

Broken Kiver {Mr. J. H. Lewis). Another of his nume- 

 rous discoveries amongst fallen leaves and twigs. 



Obs. — 1424 must be removed from Acalles, so as to 

 become known as Onias sentus. 



Onias ornatus, sp. n. 



Convex, medially contracted, opaque, piceo-rufous ; ros- 

 trum entirely shining pitchy red ; tarsi and antennae pale 

 ferrugineous ; clothing variegate, pale Ijrick-red and blackish, 

 the long erect setse numerous, very conspicuous on the legs 

 as well as the body, and quite fuscous. 



Rostrum finely and distantly punctate in front, longitu- 

 dinally sculptured behind, with a few fusco-testaceous squamae 

 at the base. Thorax about a fourth longer than broad, 

 evidently broadest behind the middle, gradually narrowed 

 anteriorly, more strongly and obliquely towards the base ; 

 rather coarsely and closely punctured, nearly bare and a 

 little shining at the apex and along the middle; the pale 

 reddish elongated squamae somewhat concentrated along each 

 side of the broad, yet long, central depression. Elytra only 

 about a fourth longer than the thorax, much wider at and 

 before the middle than at the base, so that the body seem-? 

 much contracted at the middle; they are almost vertical 

 behind ; they are striate-punctate ; at the base, near the 

 suture, there are two short elevations, composed of elongate 

 slightly rufescent squamae ; along the sides and on the back 

 the scales are shorter, but of similar colour, but thei'e is a 

 blackish, slightly raised, squamose spot on each shoulder, 

 another further back and nearer the suture, one on the 

 suture at the middle, and two on each side of the summit of 

 the posterior declivity, the inner one the larger. 



Easily distinguishable from 0. latisnlcatus by the brighter 

 and more rufescent vestiture, by the thorax and elytra being 

 appreciably broader near the middle ; the scales arc more
