deeply punctured, and the intervals on the elytra are more deeply 

 and much less closely scabrose-punctate.

DYSGENA DELAGOANA, n. sp. 



Chestnut-brown, but as often as not rusty-red ; antennae and legs 

 lighter in colour than the upper side ; head, prothorax, and elytra 

 pubescent, the pubescence flavescent and erect ; head covered with 

 somewhat wide and deep irregular punctures ; prothorax plainly 

 rounded and ampliated laterally in the anterior part, earinate on the 

 sides, not impressed longitudinally in the middle, strongly but evenly 

 shagreened; elytra sub-parallel, deeply punctate -striate from the 

 base to two-thirds of the length, with the intervals costate in the 

 anterior third part of the length, planer thence to the apex and 

 having one single series of setigerous scabrose punctures which are 

 much more transverse in the posterior part. 



This species is closely allied to what I take to be D. pilosula, 

 Makl., variety, " pronoto lateribus paulo magis rotundato-dilatatis." 

 It differs, however, in the more deeply shagreened and more rounded 

 prothorax, which is also not impressed longitudinally above the 

 scutellum ; the fourth basal joint of antennas is slightly shorter than 

 the third. 



Length 10-11 mm. ; width 3^ mm.

DYSGENA FOVEATICOLLIS, n. sp. 



Shape, colour, and size of D. delagoana, the vestiture is also 

 similar, but the prothorax, which has the same shape as D. delagoana, 

 is covered with round, nearly contiguous punctures without any 

 raised intervals, there is a plain longitudinal median impression, 

 deeper in the posterior than in the anterior part of the disk, and on 

 each side a distinct, impressed round median spot equi-distant 

 from the median impression and the outer keeled margin ; the 

 sculpture of the elytra is almost similar to that of D. delayoana, 

 and the fourth antennal joint is also slightly shorter than the 

 third. 



Length 11-134- mm. ; width 3^-4^ mm.
