each side and near to this is an irregular elongate depression, terminating behind in 

 a large somewhat lozenge-shaped fovea : elytra convex, broad at base, sides sub- 

 parallel, somewhat rapidly declivous behind ; a depression behind the scutellum ; 

 shoulders broadly rounded, very strongly reflected by an expansion of the epipleural 

 fold J strongly sulcated, the sulci not punctured ; intervals convex, 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 

 most strongly so, especially at base and apex : under-side, legs, tarsi and antennae 

 black. Long. 9 lines. 



Endeavour Eiver. 



Caediothoeax humeralis, sp. n. 



Elongate, blaci, glossy on the elytra : head not depressed at each side in front ; 

 a large shallow rounded depression between the eyes : prothorax nearly as long as 

 wide ; apex deeply emarginate, front angles obtuse ; base depressed, feebly arcuately 

 emarginate, much narrower than apex ; hind angles rather small, depressed, acute, 

 outwardly dii'ected : sides parabolically rounded, a little sinuate behind tlie middle ; 

 foliaceous margins broad (at their widest part equal to one-third the width of the 

 disc), narrowest behind, reflexed, the lateral edges entire, not separated from 

 disc by a deep furrow ; disc much less uneven than in the preceding species, moderately 

 sulcated down the median line, and at each side of this an irregular interrupted de- 

 pressed line, terminating behind in a rather large and deep fovea ; elytra somewhat 

 depressed above ; more gradually contracted, and less rapidly declivous, behind than 

 in the preceding ; a large triangulate depression behind the scutellum: epipleural 

 fold more abruptly expanded at the base, strongly reflecting the humeral angle ; 

 broadly and deeply sulcated ; the intervals crenulated, sub-equal, convex, 7, 8, 9 more 

 sharply costiform than the others, and 8 unites with 9 before reaching the humeral 

 angle : under-side, legs, &c., black. Long. 9f lines.

Caediothoeax Haagi, sp. n. 



Nearly related to the preceding. Black with a slight bluish tinge, the alternate 

 elytral intervals only being nitid : prothorax shorter than in C. humeralis ; sides ar- 

 cuately rounded, a little more sinuate behind the middle, more abruptly incurved to 

 the hind angles, base and apex wider ; a depression along the base as in the preceding ; 

 base a little sinuate ; hind angles larger, less depressed, more acute ; foliaceous sides 

 as in the preceding ; median line rather finely sulcated ; disc with a small rounded 

 fovea at each side the median line nearer the apex, and another larger nearer the base: 

 elytra more rounded at the sides, less gradually narrowed behind ; humeral angle 

 less strongly reflected ; much more finely sulcated, the sulci having a line of smalHsh 

 punctures, which do not crenulate the sides of the intervals; these latter alternately 

 broader, flat, and not nitid ; 7 and 8 are costiform and unite at the humeral angle, 

 and 8 unites to 9 a little lower down. Long. 9g lines.
