Ozolais divisa. 



0. fusca, squamositate grisea induta, supra sparse nitide granulata ; 

 prothorace quadrigibboso. Long. 4| lin. 



Hob. Ega (Amazons). 



Dark brown, covered with a greyish squamosity or crust, and 

 above with small scattered glossy granules ; head deeply con- 

 cave in front, bounded above by a semicircular line of fine 

 granules ; antenna3 pale ferruginous ; pro thorax very convex, 

 the anterior and more elevated part impressed by two grooves, 

 crossing in the middle, behind the middle the sides incurved, 

 but expanding again at the base; scutellum rounded; elytra 

 scarcely broader than the base of the prothorax, parallel at 

 the sides, seriate-punctate, the alternate interstices tuberculate ; 

 body beneath and legs castaneous, with small scattered hair- 

 like scales beneath the crust. 



In this and other species of the Bolitophaginse the thin 

 crust is easily broken off; so that in most specimens fragments 

 only remain. 



Ozolais gibber a. 



0. fusca, squamositate grisea induta, supra granulata ; prothorace 

 antice valde gibboso, in medio longitudinaliter anguste sulcato. 

 Long. 4| lin. 



Hab. Ega. 



Dark brown, squamosity and granules as in the last ; head 

 deeply convex in front ; antennas brownish ; prothorax gra- 

 dually broader posteriorly, rising abruptly above the head 

 into a large rounded hump, narrowly grooved longitudinally, 

 and rather closely covered with equal-sized glossy granules ; 

 scutellum oblong ; elytra rather broader than the prothorax, 

 covered with numerous granules of varying size, and with an 

 oblong compressed tubercle at the base of each. 



A stouter species than the last, the prothorax different, &c. 

 0. scrvposa is a small species, and, inter alia, has a more 

 transverse and less gibbous prothorax. 



Brady merits violaceus. 



B. oblongus, violaceus, antennis, pedibus et corpore infra casta- 

 neis; prothorace angulis anticis acutis, sat fortiter et confertim 

 punctata. Long. 4 lin. 



Hab. Philippines. 



Oblong, a clear violet colour above, the antennae, legs, and 

 body beneath chestnut-brown; head and prothorax closely 

 punctured, the latter more coarsely, and having its anterior
