70 MR. M. JACOBY ON THE [Feb. 1, 



differs from E. malayana, Baly, in having more elytral tubercles 

 and two, not three, very obsolete longitudinal ridges, the one com- 

 mencing at the shoulder joins the subsutural one, with which it 

 forms an angle near the middle of the disk ; the transverse and 

 other shaped tubercles at and below the middle are very acutely 

 raised and form sharp projections. 



Demotina thoracica, sp. nov. 



Greyish fuscous, closely pubescent ; the apices of the tibiae ful- 

 vous ; thorax strongly rounded at the middle, obscurely marked 

 with brownish bands ; elytra covered with light grey pubescence, a 

 spot at the base and two rows of similar spots below the middle, 

 placed transversely, fuscous. 



Length 1^-2 hues. 



Head closely punctured, covered with light grey pubescence, 

 which is interrupted at the vertex by two more or less distinct longi- 

 tudinal brownish bands ; the anterior margin of the clypeus and the 

 labrnm fulvous, glabrous. Antennae half the length of the body, 

 slender, the terminal joints slightly thickened, the third and fourth 

 joints equal, all the joints piceous or dark fuscous. Thorax trans- 

 verse, strongly rounded and widened in the middle, the entire sur- 

 face covered with whitish-grey pubescence, which assumes the shape 

 of a longitudinal band at the sides ; the latter with a round depres- 

 sion. Scutellum greyish pubescent. Elytra finely punctate-striate, 

 clothed with greyish pubescence like the thorax ; at the basal margin 

 two fuscous or dark brown spots are seen, more or less distinct, and 

 bounded at the sides by whitish bands ; below the middle two trans- 

 verse rows of similar spots are placed ; all the femoia are armed with 

 a strong tooth ; the sides of the elytra are furnished with short and 

 stiff bristles. 



Hadley, in Dikoya. 



The thorax in the present species is much narrowed in front and 

 at the base, giving more prominence to the middle ; the pubescence 

 of the upper surface is generally whitish grey, but sometimes of a 

 more fulvous tint, and the fuscous spots are more or less distinct ; in 

 well-marked specimens they are often preceded by whitish spots, 

 caused by the more thick pubescence in those places ; in some 

 specimens three oblique rows of obscure spots may be seen at each 

 elytron besides those at the base, which are generally present. 



Demotina semifasciata, sp. nov. (Plate X. fig. 1.) 



Obscurely fuscous or piceous ; finely pubescent ; antennae and 

 legs dark fulvous ; scutellum white ; elytra closely and distinctly 

 semipunctate-striate, with an obscure darkish transverse band below 

 the middle ; a spot at the base and four or five others below the 

 middle, white ; femora strongly toothed. 



Length 2-3 lines. 



Head clothed with yellowish pubescence at the vertex, which hides 

 the punctuation ; epistome impubescent, distinctly punctured, ful-
