of the Family Lamiidse. 273 



black shining spot on each behind the middle ; apices slightly 

 obliquely truncate or almost rounded. Legs greyish pubes- 

 cent ; anterior tibiee in the male somewhat twisted, feebly 

 dentate along their lower border, with a distinct tooth near 

 their tarsal end. The first two joints of the anterior tarsus in 

 the same sex somewhat laterally expanded. Mesosternum 

 with a small conical tubercle. 



This species is very distinct, almost generically so, by 

 reason of the shortness and greater thickness of its antennse. 

 In no other species of Pelargoderus are the antennas in the 

 male less than twice the length of the body. The greater 

 size of the spots on its elytra and the lighter colour of its 

 antennae ai'e also marks which will easily differentiate it from 

 other species. 



Monohammus rivulosus (Pasc. MS.), n. sp. 



Omnino pubescens, punctis dispersis nonnullis elytrorum exceptis ; 

 capite, prothorace, crurlbus et corpore subtus griseis ; elytris 

 brunneis albo vittatis ; antennis griseis, articulis a fcertio apicibus 

 fuscis.

Hah. North India (Assam) and Laos. 



Head, thorax, the underside of the body, and the legs dark 

 grey and somewhat glossy. AntennEe g'^G'J^ with the tips of 

 the third to the last joint dark brown. The elytra are of a 

 light brown colour, streaked with dull white ; one broad 

 streak sets out from the shoulders, and, after passing ob- 

 liquely inwards, runs close to and parallel with the suture for 

 the rest of its distance ; posteriorly a very narrow stripe of 

 brown divides it into two ; in addition to these there are two 

 narrow stripes of white posteriorly, all uniting towards the 

 apex, and a short white streak below the shoulder. The 

 elytra are minutely punctured and have also some large, 

 widely scattered, shallow punctures, which give them a some- 

 what spotted appearance. The apices are rounded. 



Monohammus ciliatus^ n. sp. 



-^neo-niger, sparse ochraceo-pubesceos, prothorace brevi, lateribus 

 fortiter spinosis, spinis recurvis ; elytris puoctulatis, ad basin 

 minute granulatis, apicibus rotundatis, augulis suturalibus leviter 

 productis ; antennis fuscis, eubtus ciliatis. 



Long. 27 mm., lat. 9 mm.
