3G4 Mr. G. J. Arrow on the 



Hab. Ceylon: Bogawaiitalawa (4900-5200 feet, G.Leicig). 



It is a large, rather massive species, moderately closely 

 clothed with decumbent whitish seta3, which are very dense 

 upon the scutcllum and form four longitudinal rows of closer 

 agglomerations upon the elytra, which also bear a very few 

 erect scattered hairs. There is a slight metallic lustre upon 

 the anterior part of the body. 'J he clypeus is semicircular 

 and rugose and the forehead coarsely jjuuctured. The pro- 

 thorax is moderately short, strongly and rather closely punc- 

 tui'ed, and at the sides rather rugosely. The lateral margins 

 are continuously rounded, the front angles acute and the 

 hind angles indistinct. Ihe elytra are closely and rather 

 coarsely punctured, with narrow indistinct costse coinciding 

 with the rows of patches of agglomerated setse. 'i'he 

 pygidium is rugosely, the sides of the metasternum densely, 

 and its middle very sparsely, punctured. The front tibia is 

 rather sharply tridentate. 



The eyes of the male are rather larger, the clypeus of the 

 female a little longer, and the apex of the abdomen slightly 

 indented beneath in the latter.

Chestnut-red, with the elytra bright yellow, except the 

 margins, which arc rather broadly red externally and very 

 narrowly along the base and suture. 'J'he head and pro- 

 thorax are lightly metallic. The body is moderately elon- 

 gate and conxex, and clothed with decumbent whitish sct:o, 

 which are rather scanty above, except at the apical margins 

 of the elytra and the pygidium. There are also a few 

 scattered erect hairs. 'J'he clypeus is fairly large, rugose, 

 with the margin semicircular, and the forehead is strongly 

 and closely puucturid. The pronotum is moderately short,
