Sehtct/ie lusca, Fabr. {SpJucroderma Cat. Gemui.) 



This species must be placed iu tbe above genus of 

 "vvliich it possesses all the structural characters. It may be 

 easily recognised by the nearly black elytra which have a 

 large white patch extending from the middle to nearly 

 the apex. The head and thorax are impunctate. The 

 antennae are about as long as half the body, the middle 

 joints thicker than the terminal or basal ones, the 3 lat- 

 ter fulvous. 



The white elytral patch varies in size and is sometimes 

 of a semilunar shape. 



In this collection there is a specimen from Loeboe Ge- 

 dang , Moeara Laboe , and Palembang (Sumatra-Expedition). 



Imolia , nov. gen. 



Body broadly ovate. Eyes entire, large. Palpi robust, 

 fourth joint small conical. Antennae short, third joint 

 longer than the fourth , terminal joints transverse. Thorax 

 narrowly transverse without depressions. Scutellum broadly 

 triangular. Elytra widened behind, irregularly and closely 

 punctured , their epipleurae prolonged below the middle. 

 Posterior tibiae with a strong spur. First tarsal joint of 

 posterior legs as long as the two following ones united. 

 Prosternum extremely narrow. Anterior coxal cavities closed. 



The genus proposed here bears great resemblance to the 

 genus SpliKrometopa from which the closed anterior cavi- 

 ties at once divide it. Other differences are to be found 

 in the relative length of the basal joints of the antennae 

 and in the longer first joint of the posterior tarsi in the 

 present genus. 



Imolia idgrofasciata , n. sp. 



Below fulvous. Joints 4 to 10 of the antennae black , 

 apical joint testaceous. Head and thorax fulvous, closely
