marked with small dark points ; antennae about as long as the 

 body, the scape scarcely thicker than the third joint ; prothorax 

 slightly transverse, narrowest at the base, the middle with two 

 small but very distinct tubercles 5 scutellum broadly rounded 

 behind ; elytra not elongate, gradually narrower from the base, 

 between the scutellum and shoulder, on each side, two longi- 

 tudinal tuberculate crests, the inner longest, shoulders strongly 

 granulate, an indistinct brownish patch on each side near the 

 middle, apices bidentate ; body beneath with a coarse yellowish- 

 grey pubescence, with small denuded spots at the sides ; legs 

 also yellowish grey, Avitli spots on the femora and tibise. 

 Length 9 lines. 



Allied to S. cinnamomeus^ but without any bands on the 

 elytra; the prothorax of the latter broader, not narrower, at the 

 base, &c. 



Sym])]iyletes lanosus. 



S. robustus, ferrugineus, dense griseo lanosus, super elytra setulis 

 sparsis interjectis ; dorso prothoracis subtuberculato ; elytris basi 

 latis, subbicristatis. 



Hah. Champion Bay. 



Kobust, ferruginous, densely covered with a greyish woolly 

 pubescence ; head rather narrow in front ; antennae about as 

 long as the body, uniformly grey ; prothorax nearly as long 

 as broad, narrowest at the apex, the back with a few indistinct 

 tubercles, but two more prominent than the rest ; scutellum 

 somewhat quadi-ate ,• elytra much broader at the base, rapidly 

 narrowing posteriorly, with many minute erect bristles scat- 

 tered amongst the pubescence, at the base, on each side, three 

 short lines of granules, the largest near the suture, forming, 

 as well as the second line, a sort of crest, the outermost line 

 nearly obsolete, apices bispinous, clothed with longish hairs ; 

 body beneath and legs with a long coarse grey pubescence. 

 Length 12 lines. 



This species comes nearest S. devotus^ but is much more ro- 

 bust and has a nearly uniform colom- and a woolly pubescence ; 

 the apices of the elytra in both are densely clothed with hairs, 

 which almost entirely hide their outline. 



Thysia viduata. 



T. bi'eviuscula, plumbeo-nigra ; protborace utrinque spinoso ; api- 

 cibus elytrorum emarginatis ; antennis apicem versus albidis; 

 mesosterno producto. 



Hah. Sumatra. 



Much shorter than T. WalNchn, dark leaden black ; head 

 almost obsoletely punctured in front, a narrow raised line
