Cleridfe, etc., from Madagascar. 533 



Head thickly and rather strongly punctured, the eyes moder- 

 ately prominent. Thorax somewhat flattened above, subparallel 

 for the anterior two-thirds, then strongly constricted wdthin the 

 base, closely beset with small obtuse tubercles, Avith the extreme 

 anterior and posterior margins smooth. Scutellum yellow. 

 Elytra parallel, depressed, studded with minute obtuse tuber- 

 cles; each elytron with two round, raised, smooth whitish spots, 

 one before and the other behind the middle, the latter is near 

 the margin. 



Var. The base of the elytra pale pitchy, the pitchy colour 

 extending at the suture and at the sides as far as the second 

 yellow spot. 



Eburifera hevicollis. 



Parallela, angusta, depressa, cEerulea, nitida, pallide hirsutfi.; 

 thorace parce punctulato, elytris crebre rugoso-punctatis, guttis 

 quatuor albis notatis, antennis pedibusque flavis. Long. 2§ lin. 



Of a brighter blue than E. tubercuUcollis , but nearly of the 

 same form. The head and thorax have some small punctures 

 scattered over the surface, the latter has the sides more oblique. 

 Scutellum Avhite. Elytra thickly and strongly punctured, the 

 punctures forming lines at the base, at the apex the punctures 

 are replaced by small obtuse tubercles. Legs yellow; the hairs 

 on the posterior tibiae are very long. 



Two examples received with the above are a little larger ( 3 

 lin.) and have not spots on the elytra, but they are evidently 

 conspecific. 



Ebnfi/era incUta. 



Latior, picea, nitida, longe pubescens ; thorace guttis duabus, 

 elytris regione scutellari plagaque subapicali nigris, his singulis 

 guttis duabus ilavis oruatis, antennarum clava pedibusque nigris, 

 femoribus basi piceis. Long. 4^ lin. 



A somewhat broad depressed species. Head with minute 

 obtuse tubercles moderately thickly placed in front. Antennaj 

 with the three apical joints slightly enlarged, jjitchy-black. 

 Thorax as broad as long, nearly straight in front, semicircularly 

 rounded posteriorly before the basal constriction, with some 

 minute tubercles scattered over the surface, and with four black 

 spots, two large round ones on the disc and two small ones 

 before the posterior constriction. Elytra scarcely broader than 

 the thorax, with seven or eight lines of deep strong punctures,
