Leperika farinosa, n. sp. 



Fusea, depressa, opaca, elgtris et protlioracis laterihus squamuUs 

 pallidis vestitis ; prothorace dense fere regulariter pmnctato, laterihus 

 sinuatis, anqulis posteriorihus rectis ; elytris costatis, costis crehre in- 

 terruptis ; antennis pedibusqice ferrugineis, illis articulo ultimo fere 

 ovali. Long. 9 mm. 



Antennse with the 9th and 10th joints not greatly broader than long, 11th joint 

 rather longer than broad. Head densely and coarsely punctured. Thorax a good 

 deal contracted behind the middle, its hind angles sharply defined and just 

 rectangular ; thorax coarsely and closely punctured, but along the middle the 

 punctures are more sparing, though they leave no distinctly defined smooth spaces ; 

 towards the margins it is clothed with coarse pale scales. Elytra with fine costse, 

 which are broken up by numerous narrow but quite distinct interruptions ; they are 

 clothed with coarse pale scales, and bear some indistinct patches of coarse, dark 

 fuscous setse or scales. 



Cliristcliurcli, a single individual found by Mr. "Wakefield. 



This species is allied to Leperina Brounii, Pascoe, but is very 

 distinct by the much less short terminal joints of the antennae. 



Peomanus depresstjs, n. sp. 



Ohlongo-ovalis, elongatus, suhparallelus, nigro-piceus, marginihus 

 dilutiorihus, suhnudiis, hand nitidus, antennis pedibiisque ferrugineis ; 

 prothorace fortiter transverso, laterihus suhrotundatis, angulis pos- 

 teriorihus ohtusis ; elytris seriehus numerosis punctorum impressis. 



Long. 7 mm. ; lat. 3 mm. 

 Antenna) reddish, with the basal joint very large, the 9th joint abruptly larger 

 than the preceding, rather strongly transverse, but a good deal narrower at the base 

 than at the apex ; 10th about as broad as but a little shorter than 9th ; 11th about> 

 as long as broad, nearly as broad as 10th, its apex slightly truncate. Head coarsely 

 and densely punctured, and bearing a fine very scanty pubescence. Thorax about as 

 broad as the elytra, very transverse, the anterior angles not at all produced, the sides 

 distinctly but not broadly explanate, the sides a little rounded, the width at the 

 hind angles the same as at the fi-ont, the base broadly but slightly emarginate 

 in front of the scutellum, the surface with shallow punctures and a few fine hairs ; 

 the punctures are coarse at the sides, but become quite fine towards the middle. 

 Scutellum rather densely clothed with pale pubescence. Elytra elongate, each with 

 about eighteen series of punctures, and with a very few fine and indistinct hairs. 

 Under sm-face rather finely punctured, legs red.
