with rows of grey scales ; viewed dorsally, the elytra present 

 the appearance of l)ein<!; transversely tninrrate, but this is 

 caused hy the eoalescenee of the tifth, sixth, seventh, and 

 eighth interstices before reaching the apex, and a consequent 

 slight lateral elevation on each elytron; the sutural angle is 

 sharply dctined and the apical margin raised.

IVehbia SO-spinalus, sp. n. 



Head black, prothorax dark brown, legs and elytra (except 

 the apical jiortion, which is darker) pale yellow. Front con- 

 vex, coarsely and sparsely punctured on a shagreened ground, 

 with a narrow longitudinal carina from the mouth halfway 

 to the vertex and slightly raised centrally, and over the mouth 

 a transverse ridi^e of hair. Prot/ioru.t subquadrate, granu- 

 late anteriorly, with short erect hair, minutely and regularly 

 punctured posteriorly on a shagreened surface, slightly 

 broader apically, the anterior surface indented centrally, with 

 a few coarse curved rugosities laterally, the actual anterior 

 edge being bent under and not visible from above. Eli/tra 

 hardly one-sixth longer than, and equal in breadth to, the 

 prothorax, faintly striate-punctate, the interstices flat and 

 irregularly punctured, the declivity commencing at the 

 apical third, abruptly truncate, fundus flat and margined by 

 fifteen spines on each elytron, decreasing in size towards 

 the centre and increasing again to the apex ; the fundus is 

 j)r()vidcd with four rows of raised and roughened circular 

 piliferous bosses which have a granular surface, the sutural 

 row being much raised and broadened centrally, the remainder 

 of the surface being flat and very finely granulate. 



Length 3 mm. ; breadth 1 mm.

Type in the Uritish Museum. 



The sutural elevation on the fundus is caused by a cluster 

 of the bosses which are uniseriate in the other rows.

Difl'ers from M'. '60-jtjjiii(t(us in the rather more abruptly 

 truncate declivity, the more obscure striae, the number of 

 marginal spines on each elytron : it is also darker in colour, 

 and the prothoracic tubercles are coarser.
