Falagria asperata, n. sp. 



Shining, light reddish-brown, the el^^tra brownish-testaceous, asperately 

 punctured, except behind ; the first two abdominal segments, legs, and 

 antennae testaceous, the middle joints of the latter iiifuscate. Length 

 3-7o mm. Differs from the preceding species iu the following respects : 

 larger and more robust, the head broader and less finely punctured, the thorax 

 more strongly contracted behind, with less fine puncturation, the elytra, 

 except posteriori}', subasperately and more closely punctured, the antennae 

 a little longer, but similarly constructed. 



Hah. Bogawantalawa, alt. 4900-5200 feet {G. Lewis). 



Tacliyusa letc/.'tiaiKi, n. sp. 



Pitchy, shining, the first two visible abdominal segments fusco-testaceous, 

 the rest shining black ; the two basal joints of the antennae and the legs 

 testaceous, the rest of the former scarcely infuscate. Length S mm. In 

 build very similar to T. halteata Ev., the head more contracted behind, the 

 thorax a little narrower posteriorly, and the elytra rather more ample. Head 

 finely and not very closely punctured and pubescent, the temples strongly con- 

 verging posteriorly, the disc with median impressed line, the eyes large. 

 Antennae with the 2nd and 3rd joints of equal length, the 4th to the lOtli all 

 longer than broad, graduall}' decreasing iu length, so that the 10th is but a 

 little longer than wide, the 11th about as long as the two preceding together. 

 Thorax pitchy-brown, of the width of the head, a little longer than broad, the 

 sides rounded in front, contracted in a nearly straight line to the obtuse 

 posterior angles; finely and not very closely punctured, finely pubescent. 

 Elytra a little longer and distinctly broader than the tliorax, very slightly 

 transverse, finely and not very closely punctured and pubescent. Abdomen 

 moderately constricted at the base, the first two visible segments obscurelv 

 fusco-testaceous, the rest shining black ; very finely and very sparingly 

 punctured, pubescence rather long and scanty.

Alliefa (^Coproiliassa') ancpsia, n. sp. 



Black, scarcely shining, the elytra bright brownish-yellow ; first two 

 joints uf the antennae and the legs testaceous. Length 3 mm. So similar to 

 A. sordida Marsh, that the following distinctive differences should serve to 

 distinguish the present species : In build it is slightly narrower and on the 

 average a little smaller ; the antennae are less stout and the 2ud joint is 

 longer; the posterior angles of the thorax are more rounded; the elylra are 

 more transverse and without scutellar marking; the puncturation of the head, 

 tliorax, and elytra is finer ; the 2nd joint of the antennae is only a little shorter 

 than the 3rd, the 4th and 5th are a little longer than broad, the 6th to the 

 lOtli transverse,* gradually increasing in breadth but more transverse than in 

 A. sordida, the 11th moderately' long, as long as the two preceding together; 

 the puncturation of abdomen very similar to that of A. sordida. 



* Except in (J , in which the 9th joint is square.
