White on a new subgenus of Calandridse. longer than the other four, which are cup-shaped and all punc- tured ; club fusiform, apparently of one joint, the end slightly pointed. Beak nearly as thick as the head, considerably longer than the thorax, gradually bent and deflexed at the tip, the sides com- pressed, and channeled from before the eye to within a short distance of the base of the mandibles, upper part more or less rounded ; the under side, except just at the tip, thickly clothed with close thick-set hairs, much like a tooth-brush, the middle line seemingly with fewer hairs or perhaps free from them. Eyes largish, oblong, nearly straight behind, somewhat pointed above, slightly rounded in front where the beak comes, and nearly as much separated below as above, the space between them being considerable. Thorax subovate, convex all round, upper surface behind some- what depressed, the front part slightly strangulated; scute! lum longish, narrow. Prothorax below, just in front of the inser- tion of the fore-legs, with a prominent dagger-shaped keel. Calandra [Hyposarothra) imperatriw, White. Head and antennas white, tip of beak black, club of antennas black, the other joints punctured with brown; of an obscure whitish colour, with seven dusky brownish longitudinal bands on the thorax, one and the widest down the middle, three on each side of the thorax, the intermediatetwo joined in front; each of the elytra with a large dusky brown patch intersected by a cross, which at the top emits two white branches, con- nected with the white of the base and sides ; pygidium with a large oval patch on the mid- dle, and some brownish dots; the sides of three of the seg- ments of the abdomen with a Calandra (Hyposarothra) imperatrix. blackish brown patch; some of the mesosternal plates punctured and marked with a largish pale brown patch.
