JIab. Upper Burma {Gray). 



Tills closely resembles A. verbasci, L., but is rather more 

 elongate and has niucii longer and narrower scales, tliose 

 upon the pronotum being scarcely distinguishable from hairs. 

 The lower surface is black, not very densely cl< thed with tine 

 wiiite seta", and the upper surface brown, with its scales 

 varying from pale yellow to dark brown, but with every 

 gradation, the pattern resulting being therefore without 

 stiong contrasts. The scales, moreover, are not closely fitted 

 together and immovable, but form a rather loose shaggy 

 clothing. 



A series of specimens were received by Mr. H. E. An- 

 drewes, by wiiom several have been presented to the British 

 Museum.

Two specimens of this very distinct species were found by 

 Mr. G. A. K. Marsiiall in August 1900. ■ I believe them to 

 be male and female, the antennal club of one being slightly 

 larger tiian that of the other. It is a very short, broad, and 

 globular insect, covered with large nearly round scales, which 

 hVQ whitish beneath the body and at the sides of the pro- 

 notum, various shades of yellow and brown intermixed upon 

 the general surface, with a large nearly rouJid patch of dark 

 brown scales upon the posterior half of the elytra. The 

 pronotum is short, evenly convex, and furnished with a 

 strong, pointed, triangular lobe behind, entirely covering the 

 scutellum. The elytra are slightly flattened upon the dark
