spots instead of the usual three, and being impressed with a shallow fovea at the 

 sides only, none being seen at the middle, and by the coloration of the elytra and 

 tarsi : the female insect is of a more posteriorly widened shape than the other sex. 



Diorhabda inconspicua >i>. nov. 



Obscure testaceous, finely pubescent, head with one, thorax with three longitudinal 

 piceous marks, elytra fuscous, very finely and closely punctured. 



Length 2 lines. 



Head finely rugose, the vertex with an obscure fuscous or piceous spot, frontal 

 elevations rather obsolete, transverse, clypeus raised, antennae scarcely extending to 

 the middle of the elytra, rather robust, testaceous, the apex of each joint fuscous, the 

 third joint one half longer than the second, the fourth twice as long as the third and 

 tiie longest ; thorax rather more than twice as broad as long, finely rugose-punctate 

 and pubescent, the sides rounded at the middle, the surface obsoletely transversely 

 sulcate, an obscure longitudinal band at the sides and at the middle, fuscous ; elytra 

 clothed with very short and fine greyish pubescence, brownish fuscous, very finely 

 rugose, the shoulders stained with fuscous ; underside and legs testaceous, the breast 

 with a dark greenish tint ; anterior coxal cavities closed. 



Hab. Tenimber. 



A species, principally distinguishe<I by its comparatively small size. 



Coelocrania inalayana sp. nov. 



Pale fuscous, finely pubescent, head and thorax shining, the latter with two 

 transverse depre.ssions, impubescent, elytra finely coriaceous, clothed with yellowish 

 pubescence, claws appendiculate. 



Length 2| to 3 lines. 



Elongated, slightly widened posteriorly, head pei'pendicular, scarcely punctured 

 on the vertex, frontal tubercles in shape of narrow semicircular ridges, the lower 

 portion of the face forming a single piece with the front, smooth, shining and extend- 

 ing between the antennae, its lower edge straight, antennae two-thirds the length of 

 the elytra, obscure fulvous, the third joint \ery elongate and longer than any of 

 the others ; thorax scarcely twice as broad as long, the sides nearlj' straight, the 

 angles not produced but distinct, the surface smooth and shining, nearly impunctate, 

 with a broad transverse sulcation anteriorly and another smaller one at the base, 

 interrupted laterally, the posterior angles also preceded liv a distinct depression ; 

 scutellum subquadrate, its apex truncate, pubescent ; elytra very finely wrinkled or 

 coriaceous, clothed with short yellowish pubescence, their epipleurae continued to the 

 apex ; tibiae unarmed, the fir.st joint of the posterior tarsi rather longer than the

Hah. Celebes. 



This species is the second of the genus known to nie ; it agrees in all structural 

 characters with the type from New Guinea described liy uie in the Genoa Aii^ials, 

 188(). The structure of the head, unique amongst the Galeritclnue, the smooth 

 thorax and pubescent elytra, in connection with the appendiculate claws, form a 

 number of characters which will distinguish this genus.
