 and closely punctate.

 with Short white pubescenee, antennae black, the lower five 

 joints dark fulvous, second and third Joint nearly equal but the 

 latter thinner in shape; thorax subcylindrical, sculptured like 

 the head and similarly pubescent, scutellum transverse, of usual 

 shape; elytra without any basal depression, rather niore tiuely

Hab. Moliro (Congo) J. Duvivier. 



There are but few equally sombre coloured species of 

 Pseudocolaspis, P. Lefevrei Baly being perhaps more nearly 

 allied in coloration. In the insect before me, the elytra have 

 no basal depression and are clothed like the res/ of the surface 

 with iine silky hairs of a cream coloured tint. I possess a single 

 specimen given to nie by the late A. Duvivier and which was 

 obtained by his brother in the locality quoted. 



Pseudocolaspis tuberculata sp. n. 



Below and the legs obscure cupreous, antennae black, head 

 and thorax strongly rugose-punetate, the interior of the punctures 

 partly metallic green, elytra purplish-black, closely and strongly
