crenulate at the sides ; the elytra are pale testaceous, usually with a 

 darker suture, and the striae (the sutural one excepted) are finer and 

 shallower. 



Corficaria rlioinhifera, n. sp. 



Moderately elongate, robust, clothed with rather long, pallid puhescence, 

 the head and prothorax suhopaque, the elytra and under siu-face shining; 

 piceous or rufo-piceous, the elytra testaceous, with a broad, sharply anguhite, 

 post-median fascia (sometimes extending forward at the sides), and a narrow 

 streak along the suture before the tip, black or piceous, the antennae, palpi, 

 and legs testaceous or obscure testaceous ; the head and prothorax densely, 

 rugosely punctate, the elytra with irregular rows of closely placed coarse 

 punctures, which are placed in ahnost obsolete striae, the sutural stria sharply 

 defined and deeply impressed towards the apex, the interstices narrow and 

 uneven. Head narrower than the prothorax, the eyes small, prominent; 

 antennae moderately long. Prothorax about as long as broad, subaugularly 

 widened at the middle, and narrowed thence to the apex, the disc interruptedly 

 suh-ate, the sulcus teruiiuating iu a fovea near the base, the lateral njargins 

 without definite creuuiation. Elytra oblong-oval, widening to a little beyond 

 the middle and there more than twice the width of the prothorax, longi- 

 tudinally impressed at the base within the humeri, the latter obtuse. Beneath 

 sparsely, finely punctate. 



Length 2-2/o mm.

Found in great abundance by beating flowering plants. This species 

 is recognizable by the testaceous, sharply nigro-fasciate elytra (the fascia 

 being dilated into a rhonibodial patch on the disc of each elytron), and 

 the rugose, opaque head and prothorax. It cannot be identified with 

 any of the Indian Corticariae named by Motschulsky. There are no 

 visible external sexual characters. 



Corficaria injlata, n. sp. 



Obscure ferruginous, the elytra testaceous, with an angulate nigro-piceous 

 submedian fascia not quite reaching the suture or outer nuirgin ; shining, 

 finely pubescent; the head and prothorax rather closelj^, somewhat coarsely 

 punctate, the elytra with irregular rows of fine punctures and a definite 

 sutural stria, which is deeply impressed at the base and apex, the base also 

 longitudinally excavate on each side within the humeri. Prothorax convex, 

 slightly longer than broad, very little wider than the head, rounded at the 

 sides ; transversely furrowed behind the middle, and with a deep central 

 groove, in which is placed a small basal I'ovea. Elytra ovate, gibbous, at the 

 middle more than twice the widtli of the prothorax, the humeri rounded. 



Length \u^-2 mm.
