3() SPHAERODERMA UEMINATA. 



Sphceroderma (?) (/etuinata , ii. sp. 



Subquadrate-oblong , very convex , fulvous. Thorax clo- 

 sely punctured. Elytra violaceous blue, sti'ougly geminate 

 punctate-striate. — Length 2 lines. 



Head with a few punctures in front of the eyes and a 

 fovea at each side above the latter. Clypeus transverse. 

 Labrum large, subquadrate. Antennae short, robust, not 

 extending beyond the base of the thorax , entirely fulvous, 

 the terminal joints gradually but slightly thickened. Thorax 

 transversely convex , widened at the middle , the sides round- 

 ed , the anterior angles produced in shape of a tooth , 

 surface closely and distinctly punctured. Elytra subquadrate, 

 convex, strongly geminate punctate-striate to the apex, the 

 interstices also finely punctured. 



Five specimens from Boekit Kaudang, Soepajang, Solok 

 and Sidjoendjoeng (Sumatra-Expedition). 



In all structural characters, this species agrees with the 

 preceeding one but is at once separated by the double 

 rows of punctures and the entirely violaceous elytra. I 

 think it very probable that both species are representatives 

 of a new genus. 



Spluvroderma ((rvipevnis , n. sp. 



Rotund ate-ovate , fulvous below , above obscure piceous. 

 Two terminal joints of the antennae testaceous, int(!r- 

 mediate joints black. Above nearly impunctate. — Length 

 2i/„ lines. 



This species, of which numerous specimens have been 

 obtained at various localities, may easily be recognised 

 by the almost entirely impunctate upper surface. The 3 

 basal joints of the antennae are fulvous. The thorax has 

 the sides narrowly flattened and accompanied by an im- 

 pressed groove. The posterior femora are very strongly 

 incrassate.
