Lathrohium semicaerulewn, n. sp. 



Moderately shining, the fore-parts blue, the abdomen black ; mouth-parts 

 pitchy. Antennae and legs black. 



Length 7 mm. 



Very distinct from all the Indian species by the coloration. In build very 

 similar to L. laevipenne Heer, but the head is rather broader and the thorax 

 shorter. 



Head wider than the thorax, as long as broad, the temples parallel, the 

 posterior angles rounded; punctnration coarse, umbilicate and close, in front 

 not so close ; vertex with an almost smooth shining, transverse space. 

 Antennae with all the joints longer than broad, the 4th to the 10th scarcely 

 differing among themselves. Thorax oblong, the anterior and posterior angles 

 rounded, the disc with smooth central line throughout; punctnration umbili- 

 cate, coarse, and rather close. Elytra distinctly longer and a little broader 

 than the thorax, coarsely and rather closely punctured. Abdomen with the 

 first three visible segments transversely impressed at the base, the first four 

 moderately closely and moderately coarsely punctured, more especially 

 at the bases, the two terminal segments much more finely and less closely 

 punctured ; pubescence moderate, silvery. 



S • 6th ventral segment with a deep, semi-oval excision of the posterior 

 border, in front with a triangular smooth impression ; 6th with a pointed, 

 erect tubercle in the centre, the surface between this and the posterior border 

 smooth and shining ; 4th with a minute tubercle in the centre.

Pammegus andrewesi, n. sp. 



Black, shining ; the thorax finely but not very closely punctured ; elytra 

 coarsely and rugosely punctured ; abdomen slightly iridescent ; antennae black ; 

 legs reddish, the tibiae pitchy. 



Length 10 mm. 



Head small, orbicular ; eyes large, their diameter much greater than the 

 length of tlie temples ; puucturation rather coarse near the eyes and on the 

 base, and not very close, sparingly intermixed with much finer punctures, 

 vertex almost smooth ; pubescence sparing, setae black. Antennae rather 

 short and slender, the 2nd and 3rd joints of equal length, the 4th to the 7th 

 a little longer than broad, gradually decreasing in length, the 8th square, the 

 9th and 10th scarcely transverse. Thorax scarcely transverse, the sides very
