1866.] MR. F. P. PASCOE ON THE COLEOPTERA OF PENANG. 231 



Covered with a short greyish pile, scarcely concealing the shining 

 brownish or yellowish-brown derm beneath ; head grey in front, a 

 black patch behind the eye, which is continuous with a line of the 

 same colour on each side of the prothorax, the latter slightly de- 

 pressed in the centre, with a short longitudinal elevated line, the sides 

 transversely wrinkled ; scutellum subquadrate, but a little rounded 

 posteriorly ; elytra nearly impunctate, except at the base, rather 

 sparsely dotted with small black punctiform spots, but two or three 

 of larger size forming a transverse interrupted bar behind the middle, 

 at the base a few shining granules and two elevated lines, the inner- 

 most simulating a crest ; behind the shoulder the elytron is slightly 

 incurved and marked with a dark-brown longitudinal patch ; body 

 beneath and legs reddish brown, with a sparse ochreous-grey or 

 grevish pile ; the tibiae varied with dark brown ; antennae brown, the 

 joints, from the third inclusive, ashy at the base, the scape varied 

 with ochreous. Length 8 lines. 



Baxata is particularly distinguished by its thick pyriform scape 

 and the tooth-like process on the inner edge of the antennary tuber. 

 In this species the eye is larger in proportion, and the remarkably 

 elevated and conical protuberance of the elytron in Baxata camelus 

 is replaced by a short narrow crest. The second abdominal segment 

 of the specimen before me is furnished on each side with the curious 

 semicircular hairy patch common to many of the members of this 

 subfamily, and which, I believe, is confined to the males. B. camelus 

 is from Sarawak.

 All the individuals of this species I have hitherto seen have been 

 from Sarawak.

This also has hitherto only occurred at Sarawak. I have described 

 two other species from Cambodia.
