 duabus obliquis, una mediana, una latiore postica, lateraliter linea 

 lata arcuata fusca, lineas abbreviatas fuscas duas includente ; cor- 

 pore infra squaraulis silaceis dense tecto, lateribus mesosterni ma- 

 cula oblonga nivea notatis ; femoribus anticis normalibus, tibiis mo- 

 dice elongatis ; antenn£E postmedianae. Long. 6 lin. 



Hab. Cambogia. 



A peculiarly coloured species, and somewhat allied to the fol- 

 lowing. 



Alcides delta. A. subcylindricus, crassus, niger, lineis albidis or- 

 natus ; rostro valido, prothorace longiore ; prothorace vix transverso, 

 supra rude et confertim granulato, margine antico, linea longitudinali 

 mediana alteraque utrinque obliqua albis, lobo scutellari fere obsoleto ; 

 scutello parvo, nitido ; elytris parallelis, prothorace latioribus, |)ostice 

 magis convexis, striate -punctatis, interstitiis sat latis, valde convexis, 

 obsolete granulatis, in medio lineis latis tribus literam A formantibus, 

 singulatim lineis duabus, una supra altera pone humerum, lineaque 

 angulato-flexa prseapicali ornatis ; corpore infra pedibusque silaceo- 

 squamulosis, lateribus mesosterni macula oblonga albida notatis ; 

 femoribus anticis tibiisque ut in A. magico. Long. 6-7 lin. 



Hab. Ceylon ; Ceram ; Amboyna. 



A widely distributed species probably, readily known by the 

 large deltoid figure on the elytra. It is, I believe, the A. delta 

 of Dejean's catalogue. 



Alcides tkifidus. A. ovatus, niger, squamulis piliformibus albis 

 postice tectus ; capite rostroque nigris, confertim punctatis, hoc paulo 

 arcuato, illo inter oculos profunde sulcato ; prothorace subconico, 

 utrinque modice rotundato, lobo scutellari valde producto, supra 

 medio granulato fere denudato, lateribus dense albo-squamosis ; scu- 

 tello minuto, cordiformi; elytris breviusculis, basi prothorace multo 

 latioribus, apicem versus sensim rotimdatis, parte basali denudata, 

 excavato-punctata, interstitiis rugoso-punctulatis, cuiteris, apice ex- 

 cepto, albo-squamulosis ; infra dense albo-squamulosus ; pedibus par- 

 cabinets, Something of the same kind nuiy be seen in the Aphides and other 

 homopterous insects, especially in the genus Dorthesia.
