species o/'Alcides /ro7n the Oriental Re</ion. 405 



sparsely punctate. Antcnmp with tlic scape as lon«j as tlie 

 whole runicle, which has joint 1 a little shorter than 2 + 3, 

 3 to () hrud-like and transverse, and 7 as long as the two 

 basal joints of the club. Prothorax sliglitly broader than 

 long, parallel-sided from the base to the middle, then 

 roundly narrowed and with the subapical constriction rather 

 shallow ; the dorsal anterior margin sliglitly rounded, the 

 longitudinal outline feebly curved and sloping upwards 

 from the base ; the dorsum fairly closely set with markedly 

 flattened granules. Scutellum punctiform, glabrous, almost 

 enclosed in front. Elytra cylindrical, not broader than the 

 prothorax, broadly rounded behind, and with a shallow 

 tiansverse impression at the base ; the deep striae containing 

 large oblong fovese, which are reduced behind the post- 

 median band, so that the strise appear deeper there, but not 

 deepened at the base ; the intervals rather narrower than 

 the striae, subcostate, rugosely punctate, and with small scti- 

 form scales, which are sparse in the basal half and much 

 denser at the apex. Legs (fig. 1, h) relatively short and 

 stout, thinly clothed with short recumbent setae ; the an- 

 terior pairs of femora with an elongate vertical tooth and 

 two indistinct denticulations in front of it, the hind pair 

 with a small simple tooth ; the front tibiee broad, narrowing 

 to the apex, the inner edge not toothed and very feebly 

 bisinnate, the posterior pairs simple; the front coxae not 

 tuberculate. Sternum with the front iutcrcoxal space very 

 nearly as wide as the median one ; the metasteruum sparsely 

 granulate towards the sides. 



Length 9"5-10'5 mm., breadth 35-3'6 mm. 



Java : Depok, iv. 1909 (G. E. Bryant). 



Described from two males. 



Very closely allied to A.jugalis, sp. n., but the elytra arc 

 more parallel-sided, and the prothorax less conical and more 

 abruptly narrowed in front ; the lateral stripes on the |)ro- 

 notum unite anteriorly before reaching the front margin ; 

 the sutural stripe on the elytra is furcate posteriorly, etc. 



Alcides stevensi, sp. n. (PI. VII. fig. 6.) 



S ? . Integument black or piceous black, not very densely 

 clothed with small pale scales, and more or less dusted with 

 rust-red powder. 



Head closely punctate, the forehead with a shallow median 

 fovea. Rostrum a little shorter than the front femur in both 

 sexes, nearly straight but strongly deflected, and gradually 

 widened at the ajjcx ; strongly and closely jjunctate through- 

 out in the ^ , and with the punctures in the basal half more
