covered, especially tte antennae, with long scattered setulose hairs. 

 The irregiilarity of the elytra of the species before us is excep- 

 tional : and this, with the marked difference of density of the pu- 

 bescence, gives them a variegated appearance. The following are 

 the amended diagnoses of the two Malayan members of the genus: — 

 Sodus verticalis (Pascoe, Long. Malay, p. 137, pi. vii. fig. 5). S. fuscus, 

 nitidus ; genis, vertice, antennisque basi, niveis ; prothorace turgido, 

 postice paulo constricto ; elytris regularibus. Hob. Singapore. 

 Sodus ursulus (Pascoe, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1866, p. 237, pi. xxvi. fig. 2*). 

 S. fulvo-brunneus, opaeus, capite pallidiore ; prothorace basi latiore ; 

 elytris regularibus, late ovatis. Hab. Penang. 



LtCHEOSIS AITLICTIJS. 

 L. pubescens, niger, obscure cinereo varius ; scutello parvo, triangulari, 



indistincto ; antennis fere nigris. 

 Hab. Cape York. 



Thickly pubescent ; head finely punctured, glabrous, black, the cheeks 

 with a whitish pubescence ; prothorax quadrate, the sides nearly par- 

 allel, pubescent, white, with three ill-defined glabrous black stripes ; scu- 

 tellum small, triangular, nearly hidden by white hairs ; elytra irregularly 

 punctured, the punctures large and well-marked at the base, pubes- 

 cence thin and black, sprinkled with a longer white pilosity, the apices 

 very obliquely emarginate ; body beneath and femora with a thin ashy 

 pile, the abdomen greyish, the last segment black ; tibiae and tarsi 

 grejdsh ; antennae nearly entirely black, the bases of the four or five 

 last joints slightly tinged with white. Length 5| lines. 

 Much longer and more cylindrical than i. luctuosus, and entirely 

 without the large well-marked white patches which distinguish 

 that species. 



Hathliodes costulattts. 



H. supra brunneo-ochraceo pubescens ; eljrtris basi prothorace latioribus, 

 costulatis, apicibus dehiscentibus. 



Hab. Champion Bay. 



Rather short, covered above with a close brownish-ochraceous pubes- 

 cence with small whitish setae interspersed ; head nearly impunctate ; 

 prothorax with a few scattered punctures on the disk, a brownish 

 stripe on each side behind the eyes ; scutellum semicircular ; elytra 

 finely punctured, broader than the prothorax, each with raised lines, 

 including one at the suture, but not extending to the apex, the sides 

 rather abruptly dechvous, the apices dehiscent ; body beneath and legs 

 coarsely pubescent, dark ochreous; antennae about two-thirds of the 

 length of the body. Length 6 lines. 



Eesembles H. quadrilineatus, but shorter, without darker stripes, 

 and the elytra with raised lines. 



* The figure is too brightly coloured, and the prothorax is not represented 

 sufficiently broad at the base.
