24. Rliypai'icla, sulblaevìeollis, n. sp. 



Oblong-ovate, fulvous, very shining; head impunctate, epi- 

 steme separated from the face. Thorax punctured at the disk 

 only. Elytra finely punctate-striate (9), strongly punctured in 

 the male, very obsoletely at the apex. 



Length 2 ^g'^ lines. 



Head impunctate or extremely finely punctured when seen 

 under a strong lens with an obsoletely raised central line and 

 a short groove as usual; episteme distinctly separated from the 

 face, broader than lung, its anterior margin deeply concave, 

 surface distantly but deeply punctured. Antennae pale fulvous, 

 almost as long as the body (d^). Thorax transversely convex 

 the anterior angles with a small tubercle , the posterior ones , 

 simple, surface finely and rather closely punctured at the disk , 

 the sides and the base impunctate. Scutellum broader than long. 

 Elytra with an obsolete depression below the base, strongly 

 and regularly punctured anteriorly, the punctuation becoming 

 very fine and nearly obsolete towards the apex. Femora un- 

 armed. 



9 . Broader and larger , elytra more finely punctured 

 throughout. 



Amboina (0. Beccari, 1875). 



I am unable to refer this species to any of those described 

 by M.'' Baly on account of the punctuation of the thorax in 

 connection with the other characters pointed out. The insect is 

 of a more shining upper surface than is usually the case in the 

 other species. 



25. Rliyparidti (][ua.di*ipustulata, n sj). 



Black below; head and anterior margin of tlie thorax, ob- 

 scure fulvous, closely punctured. Elytra distinctly punctate- 

 sti'iate , black, a suturai and apical spot, light fulvous; base 

 of the femora and the tibiae, testaceous.
