7 mill. long in the middle, the sides a good deal narrowed towards 

 the front , the base sinuate on each side near the hind angles which 

 are not at all rounded and nearly rectangular, the lateral margin s 

 fine and indistinctly crenulated, the surface somewhat shining, coarsely 

 and somewhat closely punctured, the punctures not very evenly distri- 

 buted and bearing some rather scanty white scales. Elytra reddish, 

 dull, coarsely and densely but not deeply punctured and bearing some 

 coarse white scales , they are without any trace of elevated lines. 

 Pygidium densely clothed with coarse white scales. Undersurface 

 densely clothed at the sides with white scales, the middle of the hind 

 body only sparingly clothed with scales, metasternum bearing some 

 fine white scales mixed with a scanty pubescence but its middle part 

 shining and bare: hind coxae densely clothed with white scales. 

 Front tibiae tridentate. Mesosternal process distinct, but short and 

 not reaching further forwards than the insertion of the legs. Hind 

 tibiae rather strongly dilated at the extremity. 



Obs. This is a very distinct species from any other Leucopholis 

 I have seen; I have not described in detail the distribution of the 

 scales of the upper surface, as I fancy my two specimens must be 

 much rubbed above, though they are quite fresh beneath. 



Leucopholis aberrans (n. sp.) : Supra squamulis minutis fuscis 

 dense vestita; sultus nigra, obscura, metasterno tenuüer pubescente, ab- 

 domine dense subtiliter punctato , minutissime squamoso] fygidio basi ab 

 elytris tecto, mesosterni processu brevi. — Long. 32 mill. 



India. 



Antennae blaclt, with the club rather longer than the six pre- 

 ceding joints; apical Joint of maxillary palpi moderately long and stout. 

 Head very densely punctured and densely clothed with fuscous sub- 

 erect setae , the clypeus rather strongly emarginate in the middle. 

 Thorax with the lateral margins much crenulated, the base a little 

 sinuate on each side, but the hind angles not projecting backwards 

 and not at all rounded but a little obtuse, the surface is finely and 

 densely punctured and clothed with very fine fuscous setae. Scutellum 

 finely but more sparingly punctured. Elytra densely and finely punc- 

 tured and besides these fine punctures with other moderately nume- 

 rous coarser punctures, also with three indistinct raised lines, of which
