1236 THE INSECTS OF. THE VICINITY OF KINO’s SOUND, 
oblong, but much smaller than in the last species ; the interstices 
flat and almost smooth, becoming rougher near the sides. An 
Open depression but no distinct tarsal groove on the prothorax. 
Long. 4|, lat. 14 lines. 
212. Lacon atricolor, n.sp. 
This species resembles the last in many respects, but differs in being 
larger and of a black colour. The thorax is less serrate on the 
sides, the posterior angles less acute and pointed backwards, with 
the smooth space at the posterior angles more depressed and 
redder, and the median line more impressed in the middle. The 
scutellum is more densely punctate. 
Long. 6, lat. 2 lines. 
213. Lacon lineatellus, n.sp. 
Oblong, depressed, black, sub-opaque, densely and minutely 
punctate, with irregular spots and patches of whitish scales. Head 
transverse, slightly depressed in the middle, the anterior angles 
rounded and recurved, the apex emarginate. Thoi*ax as wide as long, 
the anterior angles a little advanced but not acute, the sides roundly 
widened fi-om the angles for a third of the length, then straight to 
the base, the posterior angles very minutely pointed backwards, 
the base truncate, the disk sul>convex, with three large shallow 
depressions at the base, and some whitish scaly patches on the 
sides. Elytra scarcely the width of the thorax and more than 
twice the length, pai allel-sided to near the apex, densely and 
minutely striate-punctate, interstices minutely punctate, the whole 
interspersed with clusters of whitish .scales. Under sui’face and 
legs brown, punctate, and rather densely covered with cinereous 
scales, the tarsi and antennce reddish, the tarsal grooves on the 
prothorax distinctly defined. 
Long. 5, lat. If lines. 
214. Lacon subtilis, n..sp. 
Elongate, black, sub-nitid, very minutely punctate. Head 
slightly transverse, scarcely emarginate in front, and shallowly bi- 
foveate on the forehead. Thoi'ax a little longer than wide, slightly
