350 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on some new or little-known 



obscurely clouded with greyish, the suture pitchy-brown, a short hori- 

 zontal tuft of palish hairs posteriorly at the point where the declivity 

 towards the apex commences, and below this tuft a short curved pilose 

 line ; antennae a little longer than the body, obscurely ringed with 

 grey ; legs and body beneath indefinitely grey. Length 5 lines. 



One of 31. 3Iouhot's discoveries, easily distinguishable by the 

 little horizontal tuft on each of its elytra ; in some specimens the 

 suture is unicolorous, or there is a dark- coloured patch at the side of 

 the elytra. 



Praonetha lirjata. 



P. fusca, pubescens; prothorace subelongato, antice angustiore ; elytris 

 confertim punctatis, apice rotundatis, postice obscure griseo sub- 

 fasciatis. 



Hub. Java. 



Dark brown, with a scanty greyish pubescence ; head rather narrow ; 

 eyes dark brown ; antennae not so long as the body, obscurely ringed 

 with grey ; prothorax longer than broad, the anterior border much 

 narrower than the posterior, brown, with two greyish stripes on the 

 disk ; scutellum transversely triangular ; elytra slightly narrowing 

 from the base, covered with large, deep, irregular punctures, a tri- 

 angular greyish patch indistinct anteriorly, its posterior edge marking 

 the flexure of the declivity towards the apex, and barely meeting at 

 the suture, the two together forming an imperfect band ; legs and body 

 beneath pale pitchy-brown, covered with a close grey pile. Length 

 6 lines. 



I received this species from 31. Deyrolle under the above 3IS. 

 name, by which, I believe, it is known in the Paris collections. 



Teachtstola [Lamiidae]. 



(Dejean), Cat. de Coleopteres. 



Head moderate, slightly dilated below the eyes. Antennae not longer 

 than the body, arising from two short remote tubercles, the basal joint 

 massive, gradually thickened upwards, the rest slender terete, the third 

 longer. Eyes deeply emarginate, approximating on the vertex. La- 

 brum and epistome very short, transverse. Palpi slender. Prothorax 

 transverse, irregular, spined at the side. Elytra rugose, broader than 

 the prothorax, sloping posteriorly. Winged. Legs rather slender, tarsi 

 slightly dilated, the basal joint short. Prosternum simple. Meso- 

 sternum with a vertical tooth. 



Dejean places this genus between his Chteromorpha and Penthea ; 

 the former I do not know, nor has it been published, so far as I am 

 aware : but its affinity to Penthea is by no means evident ; it seems 

 to me better placed near Dorcadida and Microtragvx.
