5-5. Psebida flava sp. nov. 

 (Pi. IX., fig. 3.) 



? . Ps. flava, villosa ; omnibus tibiis, tarsis postic.is antennisque (basi excepta) 

 nigris : alis posticis atris l)asi luteis : prothorace lougitudiue vix latiore, postice 

 leviter constricto, lateribus jiaulo rotundato, disco lateralitor inconspicue noduloso ; 

 elytris huraeris carinatis. 



Long. \\\ mm., elytr. 4^, lat. 3^.

Note. — Of the following genera belonging to Lacordaire's group UaUichromides, 

 I give some of the principal cljaracters in order to show which forms 1 have referred 

 in this jiaper to the difterent genera. I have to jiropose some new genera, as many 

 of the new species do not tit in any of the genera hitherto known.
