 *io4- Tapinolachnus Oatesii, Olliff, n. sp. (Plate VIII., fig. 7.) 



Elongate, depressed, pitchy black and somewhat shining, very 

 densely clothed with fine silky olivaceous green pubescence ; prothorax 

 with a large sub-denuded patch on the disk ; elytra very obsoletely 

 punctured, with a broad fascia composed of brownish olivaceous pubes- 

 cence near the base, and another rather narrower but similar fascia 

 just behind the middle, the apical sutural angle produced into a fine 

 spine. 



$. The head covered with pale greenish grey pubescence, finely 

 and sparingly punctured in front, very finely rugulose transversely at the 

 base, with a longitudinal impression between the eyes ; antennas rather 

 more than twice as long as the body, clothed, especially near the base, 

 with fine greenish grey pubescence ; prothorax longer than broad, 

 moderately strongly constricted and narrowed in front, irregularly 

 rugose transversely, with a large irregular bare patch in the middle, 

 which is slightly impressed behind ; the sides gradually rounded, irre- 

 gular, with a feeble callosity about the apical fourth ; scutellum small, 

 obsoletely punctured ; elytra more than one and a half times as long 

 as the head and prothorax together, much broader than the prothorax 

 at the base, slightly narrowed behind, very obsoletely punctured, with 

 a broad fascia at the basal fourth and another much narrower fascia 

 behind the middle, — the pubescence composing these fasciae darker 

 in colour and less dense than that on the other parts of the elytra ; the 

 sides nearly parallel, rounded behind ; sutural angle produced into a 

 small spine ; under side coloured as above, very finely punctured, the 

 pubescence less dense ; legs pitchy black, clothed with olivaceous green 

 pubescence, which is much paler at the apex of the anterior tibiae and 

 on the under sides of the tarsi. Length, 19-23 mm.
