Oides flavofasciata -i'. now 



Black, the thorax and the breast flavous, elytra finely and closely punctured, 

 Mack, the extreme basal margin and a transverse band below the middle, flavous. 



Length 3 lines. 



Of narrow, convex and scarely widened shape, the head black, irapuuctate, the 

 antennae extending to the middle of the elytra in the male, black, pubescent, 

 the third and fourth joints equal, terminal joints shorter, slightly dilated, the la>t 

 joint fulvous; thorax very short, three times broader than long, the sides rounded, 

 the anterior margin concave, the posterior one parallel, the angles obtuse, the sm-face 

 without depressions, fla\ous, extremely finely punctured ; scutellum flavous, its apex 

 [liceous ; elytra finely and closely punctured, the basal margin and a narrow 

 transverse band immediately below the middle, not quite extending to the lateral 

 margin, flavous, this band is of slightly oblique shape, very little widened at the 

 suture, and has its edges irregularly notched ; below black, the breast and the four 

 anterior femora below, fla\ous, legs clothed with yellow pubescence, elytral epipleurae 

 flavous, concave. 



Hab. Andai (New Guinea). 



Closely allied in coloration to 0. terininata Jac, but in that species the lower 

 portion of the face is flavous, the basal joints of the antennae are fulvous, the base 

 of the elytra is broader marked with fla\"ou^, and the transverse band is placed lower 

 down and much wider. 



Oides bimaculata sii. nov. 



Elongate, scarcely widened, pale fulvous or testaceous, terminal joints of the 

 antennae fuscous, thorax finely punctured, elytra more strongly and very closely 

 punctured, each with a small black spot near the apex. 



(S. Last abdominal segment with a medial transverse flattened lobe. 



? . Elytra with a longitudinal costa at the sides, last abdominal segment 

 depressed at each side. 



Length 3i to 4 lines. 



Head impunctate, testaceous, frontal tubercles transverse, clypeus triangular, 

 swollen, antennae nearly extending to the middle of the elytra, pale flavous, the 

 terminal joints fuscous, the fourth joint twice the length of the third, the fifth equal 

 in length to the third joint ; thorax twice as broad as long, of equal width, the 

 sides slightly rounded at the base, nearly straight from the middle to the apex, the 

 anterior angles not produced, rather obsolete, surface with a few \ery tine punctures 

 only at the sides; elytra very slightly widened at the middle with a rather broadly 

 flattened margin, e.xtremely closely and rather finely but distinctly punctured, each 

 elytron with a small black sjiot of elongate or subtriangular shajie placed at the sides 

 near the apex, the suture at the latter place is also obsoletely marked with piceous ; 

 underside and legs entirely flavous, the last abdominal segment in the maie incised 

 at each side, the median lobe broader than long, its apical margin sinuate. 



Hab. Humboldt Bay (New Guinea). 



Smaller and of more elongate and less widened shape than 0. bipaiiclatn Fabr. ; 

 the elytral spot also small and generally triangular, the male with shining elytra 

 and with an indication of costae, the latter in the female very distinct, but not 

 extending to the apex, the elytra in the same sex opaque; in one specimen there 

 is an additional small elytral spot placed at the middle; the thorax in the female 

 is also much more transverse with stronger rounded siiles.
