 antennge more like those of the latter genus. 



Trachylophus sinensis^ n. sp. 



Fuscus, pubescentia grisea subsericea omnino indutus ; capite 

 supra sulco brevi impresso ; prothorace antice angustato, lateribus 

 in medio paulo dilatato, supra fortiter rugoso, rugis prominulis, 

 intricatis ; eljtris minutissime et deuse punctulatis, apicibus sub- 

 oblique truncatis, angulis internis breviter spinosis ; antennis {S) 

 corpore paulo longioribus, ( $ ) corpore subsequalibus, articulo 

 quinto quam tertio longiore.

Dark brown, the whole body with the legs and antennae 

 clothed with a uniform, greyish, somewhat silky pubescence. 

 The vertex of the head between the eyes with a short longi- 

 tudinal sulcus. The thorax very rough above, the convo- 

 lutions of the ridges forming an intricate pattern. Two of 

 the ridges, separated posteriorly by a median longitudinal 

 furrow, run up to the middle, where they are widest apart, 

 and then, running together, meet a little in front of the 

 middle, and again separate anteriorly ; the ridges next on 

 the outside of these are also more or less regular, and have 

 a somewhat longitudinal course ; the other ridges are very 

 irregular. Elytra very minutely and thickly punctured, with 

 their apices slightly obliquely truncate and their sutural angles 

 each armed with a very short spine. The prosternum mode- 

 rately broad, with a faint median carina, which ends behind 

 in a more or less prominent posteriorly directed tubercle. 



There is a second species from Java which is closely allied 

 to this, and which can only be distinguished from it by the 

 broader and more distinct sulcus on the vertex of the head, 

 by tlie different pattern of the sculpturing on the thorax, and 

 by its narrower prosternum. As this species is undescribed, 

 I give a short Latin diagnosis of its characters in a footnote*.
