NEW PHYTOPHAGOUS COLEOPTERA 57 



obtusely rounded, surface rather distantly impressed with larger 

 and smaller punctures which almost entirely disappear near 

 the lateral margin ; scutellum black ; elytra rather strongly and 

 regularly punctate-striate , each elytron with about 10 rows of 

 punctures, the first, short; across the middle a broad fulvous 

 band extends to the lateral margin and upwards towards the 

 shoulder, but not to the suturai margin, the extreme apex also 

 fulvous; in the variety the elytral band is reduced to a larger 

 or smaller central spot. 



New Guinea, Tornate, October (0. Beccari) ; Island of Yule ,

This species resembles almost entirely in colouration A. hi- 

 plagiatus Motsch. but may be at once separated by the totally 

 different punctuation of the thorax and elytra. 



Eucycla, Baly. 



In general appearance this genus resembles Sphaerodenna or 

 Argopus; from both it is distinguished by the very large eyes, 

 the diameter of which is larger than the space dividing them ,

 instances is as long as the 4 following joints together. 



52. JEucyela, flavomaeulata, n. sp. 



Black; antennae and palpi testaceous; tibiae obscure fulvous; 

 thorax black, strongly and remotely punctured; elytra closely 

 punctate-striate, black a transverse band at the base and a spot 

 near the apex, yellow. 



Length 2 lines. 



Head impunctato, without frontal tubercles; clypeus triangu- 

 lar, flattened, forming one piece with the ftice; eyes occupying 

 nearly the entire sides of the head; antennae very closely ap- 

 proached, the space dividing them raised in shape of a narrow 

 acute ridge, pale fulvous or testaceous, the first joint slender, 

 curved and as long as the four following joints united, rest of
