bearing an o])a(jue patch, the remainder shiny, and the 

 apical area coriaceous dorsully and rugosely punctate at tiie 

 sides. Scutellum small, ovate, bare, and entirely enclosed in 

 front. Elytra subcylindrical, hardly broader than the pro- 

 tliorax at the sliouldcrs, very slightly widening behind and 

 broadest not far from the apex, -which is very broadly 

 rounded, and with a shallow transverse impressiou close to 

 the base ; the broad deep stride coutaining lai'ge quadrate 

 foveie, and becoming much shallower on the declivity ; the 

 intervals much narrower than the striae, suI)Costate, shiny, 

 rugulose, and the dorsal ones subgrauulate towards the 

 base; the setaj on the nou-squamose area extremely minute. 

 Legs (fig. 1, e) moderately long, rugosely punctate, and thinly 

 clothed with linear scales ; the femora with a small, sharp, 

 simple tooth ; the front tibire much compressed, very broad 

 in the basal half, and rapidly narrowing towards the apex, the 

 outer edge gently and evenly curved, the inner edge almost 

 straight and with a very small sharp tooth not far from the 

 base, and the posterior pairs simple; the front coxse of the 

 cf with a laminate tubercle. Sternum with the front coxaj 

 almost as widely separated as the middle pair; the meta- 

 sternum smooth and with a few sparse granules. 



Lenyth 12-13 mm., breadth 4"r)-4-75 mm. 



Malay Pe.mxsula : Kinta Valley, S. Pcrak [H. N. Ridley,

Described from a pair. 



Allied to A. sel/atus, Fst., but that species is much 

 smaller and has a very deep dejjression at the base of the 

 elytra ; the stripe on the basal third of intervals 5 and 6 is 

 united externally with the lateral stripe ; the front tibia? 

 are armed with a strong sharp tooth at the middle of the 

 int;erual edge, etc. 



Alcides subsellatus, sp. n. (PI. VII. fig. 7.) 



(^ ?. Form subcylindrical; integument black, with sharply 

 defined creamy-white stripes and bands; the head and 

 the rostrum (in ,^ only) with thin pale scaling ; tlie pro- 

 notura with three pale stripes which do not quite reach the 

 apex; the elytra each with an oblique stripe starting at the 

 base just in i'ront of the scutelhnn and ending at the middle 

 on stria 4, and another lateral stripe starting at the base on 

 intervals C and 7 (and including the extreme base of 5) for 

 one-fourth the length, then passing for a short distance to 

 intervals 7 and 8, then widening to cover intervals G-9, and, 

 finally, merging into a broad, well-defined, transverse band
