line, and is continued to the shoulders; rostrum very slender, 
moderate, long; prothorax narrowed anteriorly, slightly 
rounded at the sides, covered with approximate glossy gra- 
nules ; scutellum punctiform ; elytra subcordate, a little broader 
than the prothorax at the base, striate-punctate, the interstices 
raised and irregularly granulate; beneath with fulvous scales, 
multifid at the outer edge. 
The nearly elliptic contour and slender rostrum are charac- 
teristic of this species. All the above described species of 
Alcides, except A. Kirschii, were collected by Mr. A. R. 
Wallace. 
Alcides monilifer. 
A, anguste ellipticus, nigro-piceus, setulis rufescentibus, lineis granu- 
latis interstinctis, tectus; pedibus ferrugineis. Long. 4 lin. 
Hab. Ceylon. 
Narrowly elliptic, pitchy black, closely covered above with 
rufescent setule, divided by lines of small glossy-black gra- 
nules; rostrum moderately stout, black; antenne antemedian, 
scape ferruginous ; prothorax short, rounded at the sides, two 
broad stripes and one on each side composed of minute gra- 
nules; scutellum slightly transverse; elytra rather broader 
than the prothorax at the base, the sutural region setulose, but 
with a short granular line posteriorly, two longer with other 
shorter lines externally; beneath closely covered with pale 
fulvous scales, multifid at the outer edge; legs ferruginous. 
More narrowly elliptic than the preceding, but not other- 
wise connected. I know of no other species with which they 
can be compared. 
Alcides crassus. 
A. robustus, ferrugineus, setulis tenuissimis albis sparsim indutus ; 
rostro elongato; elytris subcordatis, prothorace multo latioribus. 
Long. 6 lin. 
Hab. Andaman Islands. 
Stout, ferruginous, with minute scattered white setule ; 
rostrum long, moderately stout, finely punctured at the base ; 
antenne slender, first joint of the funicle elongate; prothorax 
short, broadly conical, granulate; scutellum transverse; elytra 
subcordate, much broader at the base than the prothorax, 
serlate-punctate, punctures large, squarish, apex rounded ; 
beneath rather closely covered with small fulvescent scales. 
As isolated descriptions of the Andaman insects, as well as 
others, have from time to time been published in some conti- 
nental works, it may be that this species has already been 
described. It is one of the stoutest of the genus, and one of
