149. Niphona Batesi, sp. u. Pube ochracea dense vestila, elytris 

 plagis pallidioribus; capite supra inter uculos leviter depresso, lobis 

 oculorum inferioribus magnis; prothoracis dorso sparsim punctata, 

 lateribus sparsim asperato -pwictatis, pimctis piiigeris; elytris ad 

 basin laiis, deinde versus apicem valde angustatis, apicibus divari- 

 catis et sub-acuminalis. Long. 23-28 mm. 



Garin (district of Gheba). Two examples. 



Thickly clothed with an ochreous pubescence ; the elytra with 

 four plagae of a paler colour (varying from pale-ochreous to 

 ashy-white) of which one, common, and somewhat triangular 

 is placed at the base , one also common , and having a some- 

 what irregular hastate form, is placed at some distance behind 

 the first ; the remaining two are placed one on the side of each 

 elytron, extending from beneath the shoulder almost up to the 

 beginning of the posterior third, and slightly expanding inwards 

 just behind the shoulder. Prothorax with the anterior margin 

 directly transverse, the posterior slightly lobed in the middle 

 and sinuate towards each side; disk sparsely punctate across 

 the middle; sides sparsely punctured with each of the piligerous 

 punctures placed at the summit of a small granule. Elytra 

 rather sparsely punctured, and with a few larger scattered pun- 

 ctures each occupying the centre of a minute fuscous spot. The 

 apices of the elytra are cut away very obliquely from the su- 

 ture, and being attenuated also on the outside, each ends in an 

 obtuse point which appears to diverge from its fellow. 



150. Niphona princeps, sp. n. (PI. I, fig. 11). Precedenti similis, 

 sed elytris brunneo-pubescentibus, utrisque antice fasciculo parvo 

 pilorum nigrorum fulvorumque; plaga laterali brevi triangularis 

 omnino ante medium, plaga submediana communi sub-rhomboidali. 

 Long. 25-29 mm. 



Garin (district of Gheba), alt. 900-1100 m. 



This species is somewhat larger than the preceding, and re- 

 sembles it in general facies and coloration. The elytra have a 

 brownish pubescence , with four fulvous-brown plagae — one 

 basal, triangular ; one triangular, on each side, and placed wholly 

 in front of tlie middle ; the fourth common , for the most part
