closely and rather strongly punctured throughout, the punctures 

 of even size, the disc greenish, the sides anteriorly obscure ful- 

 vous, scutellum piceous ; elytra rather long, deeply punctate- 

 striate , the punctures finer towards the apex , the interstices 

 impunctate, slightly costate towards the sides, the suture, the 

 humeral callus and the interstices at the sides marked with short 

 greenish-aeneous stripes of different length partly confluent ; 

 posterior femora with a small tooth , all the legs flavous. 



Hab. Lago Bass Narok. Two specimens. 



In this species the eyes are extremely large and very closely 

 approached, more so than in the typical form E. insignis J Chap.; 

 the elytra have three anterior and three posterior more or less 

 abbreviated obscure greenish stripes on each elytron which are 

 probably subject to variation. Pseudosyagrus, Fairm. does not 

 seem to me to be generically distinct from Eurydemus; in both 

 genera the anterior femora have (in Eurydemus occasionally) a 

 very strongly dilated tooth. The present insect seems closely 

 allied to E. oculalus, Chap. 



8. Ivongius (?) parvulus, sp. n. — Entirely flavous, thorax 

 subcylindricus , finely and rather closely punctured , elytra 

 strongly punctate-striate , femora unarmed, claws bifid. 



Length 4 millim. 



Of subcylindrical shape, the head convex, entirely impunctate, 

 the eyes widely separated, surrounded by a narrow sulcus, the 

 clypeus very obsoletely separated from the face, subquadrate, 

 impunctate, antennae rather short and robust, flavous, the first 

 and second joint strongly thickened, the following three, short 

 and nearly equal, the rest rather thickened; thorax subcylindrical. 

 about one half broader than long, the sides feebly rounded, very 

 slightly widened at the middle, the surface finely and somewhat 

 closely punctured , scutellum broad , elytra wider at the base 

 than the thorax, subcylindrical, the shoulders rather prominent 

 and smooth, deeply depressed within the humeral callus, the 

 punctures strong and round, surrounded by a piceous ring, scar- 

 cely smaller at the apex, the interstices smooth and impunctate, 

 femora fusiform, unarmed, tibiae scarcely sulcate, the posterior
