Head nearly inserted in the thorax, the vertex with a few fine punctures, 

 the eyes very large, the space dividing them narrower thau their diameter, 

 clypeus thickened, pal]ii strongly' swollen, the last joint extremely small, antennae 

 extending to the middle of the elytra, the basal three joints fulvous, the second 

 and third joints very small, moniiiform, the following triangularly widened, black, 

 the last two joints fulvous; thorax very short, more than three times broader 

 than long, slightly widened at the middle, the sides rounded, the posterior margin 

 broadly produced at the middle, the surface not perceptibly punctured, fulvous ; 

 scutellxmi impunctate, fulvous : elytra rounded and convex, closely and finely 

 punctured, black, a small apical six)t fulvous, their epipleurae of the same colour, 

 concave ; legs and underside fulvous, sparingly jiubescent. 



Hab. Celebes. A single specimen. 



The .small third joint of the antennae in thi.-. species differs in sizp from the 

 typical form in which this joint is double the length of the second; in the colour 

 of the antennae and elytra this species also differs from its allies. 



Nisotra terminata sp. nov. 



Fulvous, the antennae (the four hr^t joints excepted) black, thorax extremely 

 finely punctvired, elytra metallic blue, the extreme apex fulvous, the surface \ery 

 finely and closely punctured. 



Length IJ to 2 lines. 



Of ovate shape, the head impunctate, a single fovea is placed close to the 

 inner margin of the eyes, a short oblique ridge which joins the clypeus is placed 

 at each side at the base of the antennae, labrum fulvous, with a row of deep 

 punctures, antennae not extending to the middle of the elytra, black, the lower 

 four joints fulvous, terminal joints gradually thickened; thorax more than twice 

 as broad as long, the sides rather strongly rounded and widened at the middle, 

 the anterior angles oblique, the basal aiid the anterior margin with a short 

 perpendicular notch at each side, the surface only perceptilily punctured, when 

 seen under a strong lens; scutellum short, broader than long, fulvous; elytra 

 slightly widened at the middle, \'ery finely, closely and rather irregularly punctured, 

 the punctuation nearly obsolete at the apex, the sides below the shoulder impressed 

 with a rather deep row of short punctures, the apex fulvous, this colour extending 

 a little upwards along the sides. 



Hah. Timor. 



The colour of the antennae, extremely fine punctuation of the thorax, and the 

 fulvous apex of the elytra will separate N. termviiata from any of its allies. 



Nisotra nigripes sp. no\ . 



Subquadrate-ovate, black, the head, thorax and the basal four joints of the 

 antennae fulvous ; thorax very finely punctured, elytra dark blue, punctured in 

 irregular rows, the interstices minutely punctate.

 to the middle of the elytra, black, tlie lower four joints fulvous, terminal joints 

 robust; thorax nearly three times broader tlian long, the sides straight at the 

 base, slightly subangulate before the middle, the anterior angles broadly oblique, 

 the anterior margin with a very deep and rather long j)erpendicular groove at 

 each side, the posterior margin with another but very narrow and slightly impressed
