I Tab. Assam: Patkai Mts. (Coll. Brit. Mus.) ; Japan (Coll. 
Jacobg). 
Originally described from Japan. Except that they are smaller 
in size and paler in coloration, 1 am unable to separate the Indian 
specimens obtained by Doherty from the Japanese form.

Thorax about half as broad again as long, 
sides rounded and widened at the middle, 
lateral margins obsolete, disc clothed with 
scales like the head. JScutelium triangularly 
elongate. Elytra strongly punctured in 
very closely approximate rows, the scales

malais. 
The densely placed white scales on the 
head and thorax which obscure the sculpture 
separate this species from its allies ; the 
piceous ground-colour of the elytra can just be seen under the 
covering of scales.
