Hah. Rhodesia : Umtali. 



A single male was found by Mr. G. A. K. Marshall in 

 October 1S97. 



It is a minute spocies, showing an approximation to tlie 

 genus Orphiiius. It is rather broadly oval, with close, 

 nearly erect pubescence. Eacii elytron has three large bright 

 yellow spots, one at tlie outer edge behind the shoulder, one 

 transversely in line with it near the suture, and the third 

 exactly in line with the second towards the apex. The last 

 joint of tlie antenna (in the male) is extremely short and very 

 feebly pointed at the end.

Hah. China {J. Boicring). 



This species differs entirely from all the others in its regu- 

 larly oval convex shape and tapering elytra, which conipletely 

 cover the abdomen. It is lightly punctured and rather 

 siiiniiig, with grey pubescence, wliicii leaves b.ire a transverse 

 strip at the shoulders and a round posterior patch on each 

 elytron. Tiie terminal joint of the antenna m the male is 

 about three times as long as its greatest width.

Hah. Malay Peninsula : Perak. Siam : Renong. 



A male specimen was found in each of the above-mentioned 

 localities by Doiierty. 



No otiier species of the genus can be compared with this, 

 which is peculiar in its lightly punctured shining surface and 

 the unilbrmly scattered erect setse U|)on its U|)piT surface. 

 It is small and rather broadly oval in shape and red-brown in 

 colour. The posterior lobe of the pronotum is truncated, and 

 the extremities of the elytra are very minutely rounded and 

 practically cover the abdomen. The terminal joint of the
