narrower behind than in front of them. The elytra are marked 

 with three black spots, one on each near the base, the third, 

 very large and round, common to both and extending from a 

 little in front of the middle to near the apex. The proster- 

 num and mesosternum are both slightly tubercled. The 

 antennse of the female are about as long as the body, those of 

 the male twice as long. 



In a good series of specimens, nearly all of which, how- 

 ever, are from Kiu Kiang, the markings of the elytra are 

 subject to very little variation, and this only in the size of 

 the basal spots. 



In a variety of this species represented in the British- 

 Museum collection by a single female example from Chowsan, 

 tlie basal spots of the elytra are absent and the large post- 

 median spot is replaced by four spots — two oblong, sutural, 

 and two smaller, external to them. 



Monohammus albisparsus, n. sp. 



Omnino piibeseens, infra gn'seus, supra griseo-brunneus ; scutello 

 et macula media ad margincm posticum thoracis fulvis ; clytris 

 maculis albis irregulariter dispersis ; anteunis scapo fusco, ceteris 

 articulis griseis, apicibus fuscis : mesosterno tuberculato. 



Long. 15-18 mm. 



Hah. China (Kiu Kiang). 



A species which may be recognized by the fulvous scutel- 

 lum with a spot of the same colour at the base of the thorax, 

 by the elytra with a close pubescence of a dark greyish or 

 brownish colour, with a large, very irregular, broken, dirty 

 white spot on the middle of each, and smaller spots of the 

 same colour scattered over their surface. 



The antennse with the scape narrowly but completely 

 cicatrized at the apex, with this joint dark brown in colour, 

 the remaining joints grey at their base and more or less fus- 

 cous towards their apex. The mesosternum conically tubercled 

 in the middle.
