When I originally described this species it was from a cardedspecimen from Calcutta sent to me by the late Mr. Fig. 110.—Acan/hasp/s maculata. From an examination of this example it appeared to have thedisk of the abdomen beneath distinctly flattened and I thusplaced it in the genus Velitra. Since that time I have received ACANTHASPIS. 19; other and better specimeus which enable me to locate it iu thegenus Aeanthasjil.^, from which by the short basal joint of theantennae and the broadly sulcated posterior lobe of the pronotmnIt appears somewhat divergent.
