 Pascoe, Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 3. vol. iv. p. 438. 



Dysnos semiaureus. 



D. breviter ovatus, fuseo-tomentosus, obscure aureo-varius ; prothorace 

 corpore non latiore ; articulis duobus basalibus tarsorum nigris. 



Hob. Moluccas (Batchian). 



Shortly ovate or inclining to cylindrical, witli an opake brownish- 

 black tonientum, varied on the elytra with pale longitudinal patches of 

 pale golden hairs ; prothorax not wider than the elytra ; first two joints 

 of the antennae and the legs ferruginous, the tarsi with the two basal 

 joints black. Length \\ line. 



Smaller and proportionably shorter than D. auricomus, with the 

 prothorax nowhere wider than the elytra. In my specimen, the 

 subulate process terminating the last joint of the antennas is absent, 

 a character which may probably turn out to be sexual only.

H. angusto-ovatus, fusco-tomentosus griseo-varius ; tibiis tarsisque annu-

Narrowly ovate, with a tawny yellowish tomentum varied with dark 

 brown ; head tawny, with a longitudinal ridge between the eyes, and 

 one on each side beneath them, not extending to the end of the rostrum; 

 about five elongate indefinite marks on the prothorax ; elytra striato- 

 punctate, a large dark brown patch at the base and another in the 

 middle common to both elytra, the alternate interstices also spotted 

 with brown, particularly at the sides ; legs very distinctly annulated 

 with clear brown and tawny ; body beneath greyish, inclining to ashy.
