to those of EH. bodkini, but the scape is but little curved, and 
the setee are finer, shorter, and straighter ; the club is larger 
and as long as the three preceding joints. Prothorax asin 
EE. bodkini, except that the front margin is truncate and not 
rounded. Scutellum strongly exserted, subquadrate. Llytra 
elongate, subtruncate at the base, the apical area somewhat 
produced, the apices separately pointed, the humeral slope 
forming, an angle with the base; the punctures in the sulci 
are closely placed, nearly twice as numerous as in JL. bod- 
kint, entirely covered with scaling, but not obliterated ; the 
alternate intervals distinctly raised, the setee very short and 
quite recumbent. Legs with uniform pale sandy scaling ; 
the front femora angulated, but without a distinct tooth. 
Length 8-93, breadth 22-34 mm.

Chevrolat’s MS. name has been retained for this species. 
Eustylus ephippiatus, sp. n. 
Colour black, with dense chalky-white sealing and light 
brown markings; prothorax with a light brown lateral stripe, 
which is quite indefinite on its lower side, but has a sharp, 
darker brown, emarginate edge above, thus enclosing a 
hexagonal discal whitish area, in which brownish scales are 
mingled, especially along the front margin ; elytra with an 
irregular humeral brown patch extending for about one- 
fourth the length and lying between striz 2 and 7, pale and 
ill-defined in front, and with a darker dentate edge behind ; 
beyond the middle a broad common transverse band, extending 
to stria 7 and darker and dentate on both edges ; and, finally, 
an irregular apical patch, ill-defined behind and with a 
darker dentate edge in front. 
9. Lead scarcely impressed behind the eyes, which are 
moderately prominent, the width of the forehead only very 
little greater than the length of the eye. Jostrum rather 
stout, parallel-sided in the basal half, the genz strongly 
dilated, the epistome much less raised than usual, being far 
Jower than the inner edge of the scrobe, the apical slope more 
abrupt and steep than usual, the length of the scrobe about 
equal to the space between it and the eye. Antenne with 
the scaling brown on the scape and grey on the funicle ; the 
scape somewhat compressed and gently curved, the sete 
recumbent ; the funicle with joint 2: evidently longer than 1, 
3 about equal to 7 and a little longer than 4, 4 to 7 subequal, 
elongate and gradually dilated from base to apex ; the club 
rather longer than the two preceding joints. Prothorax as
