172 CYRTOCARIA. 



Docimocaria. 



gen. nov. (typ. insignia). 



Allied to Carta, but with long antennae, first joint dilated, the 

 others elongate, last joint longer than the first; mesosternum 

 deeply triangularly emarginate, thoracic epipleurse with a broad 

 shallow fovea ; punctuation fine but evident ; elytra thickened at 

 the base, with coarse punctures at the humeral angle. 



Docimocaria insignis. 



Rich reddish-oi'ange, with two square black spots on the mar- 

 gin of the elytra, 1 at one-third, 1 a little beyond two-thirds ; the 

 first shews through the elytra on the epipleurte, but not the 

 second; punctuation fine but evident, thorax truncate at the base. 

 L. 4 lin. Manilla. 



Docimocaria Cumingii. 



C'aria Cunungii, Mais. Sj^ec. p. 236. 4 (T). 



Manilla (Hope). 



Very like C. insignis, but the second marginal spot does not 

 reach the margin, aud it has an irregular black spot on either side 

 of the suture, in a line with the first marginal spot. This species 

 has the exact coloration of Leis Paulina;. In the British Museum 

 is a variety in which the medial spots form a fascia, the apical 

 half being all more or less black. 



Cyrtocaria. 

 gen. nov. (typ. regalis). 



Thoracic epipleurse with a small well-defined fovea just under 

 the eyes, the posterior portion flat and deeply punctate j abdominal 

 plates terminal, partially complete externally (approximating to 

 Leis); mesosternum emarginate; elytra very convex, gibbous, punc- 

 tuation fine, interstices very minutely and closely punctured, not 

 margined, with numerous large punctures at the margin; antennsa 

 short, club with the last joint broad, obliquely truncate. Scutellum 

 depressed, coarsely punctate, margins elevated. .Madagascar.
