At once to be distinguished by the ijluisli coloni' of the elytra, 

 rather long antennae and large size. I received three specimens 

 of this tine species from Mr. Kruhstorfer. 



70. Sphaerometopa pallidipennis, n. sp. — Pdack, the apical 

 two joints of the .•intennae pale yellow, thorax finely and sp;i- 

 ringly punctured, elytra pale flavous, the extreme lateral mar- 

 gin piceous, the disc closely and distinctly punctured. 



Length 3 lines. 



Head impunctate, l)lack, frontal elevations narrowly o))lique, 

 joined to the broad clypeus, labrum large and prominent, palpi 

 incrassate, black, extending a little beyond the base of the elytra, 

 the apical two joints yellowish white, the third joint, one half 

 longer than the second , but slightly shorter than the fourth 

 joint, terminal joint, shortened and moderately widened, thorax 

 three times broader than long, the sides nearly straight, the 

 anterior angles obliquely thickened, the surface very finely and 

 sparingly })unctured, black, scutellum black, elytra convex, more 

 strongly and closely punctured than the thorax, with a small 

 depression at the sides below the shoulders , pale flavous , the 

 extreme lateral margin and the epipleurae more or less stained 

 with piceous, underside and legs black. 



Hab. Si-Rambe. 



Smaller than Ò'. niijrkoliU, Duviv. and with Idack st-utellum ; 

 the elytra pale flavous instead of reddish-brown and the thorax 

 more flnely punctured , the sides of the elytra as well as the 

 apex also obsoletely piceous or pale jjrownish. S. intennediu, 

 ,Jac. has entirely black antennae with shorter and wider joints 

 and a fulvous scutellum, 6'. obsoleta^ .lac. ditfers in the nearly 

 impunctate thorax , in the antennae having the last joint pale 

 only, and in the very finely punctured and dark l)rown elytra. 

 The six specimens ))efore me show no variation, but seem to be 

 all females. 



71. Chaloenus aeneipennis, n. sp. — Flavous the vertex, an- 

 tennae (the 9"' and 10"' joint excepted) the til)iae and tarsi ])lack, 

 thorax 'bifoveolate, elytra greenish-aeneous, deeply jiunctured in 

 double rows.
