462 Mr. Baly's descriptions of 



four or five double rows, interspaces impressed with punctures, 

 scarcely finer tlian those on the rows themselves, and so render- 

 ino: them still less distinct. 



Genus eustetha, Baly. 

 1. JEnstetJia linibata, n. sp. 



Oblongo-ovata, convexa, nigra, nitida, cyaneo vix tiucta, 

 abdomine elytrisque flavo-fulvis, his substriatim puuctatis, 

 utrisque limbo, apice dilatato, nigro-piceo: thorace transverse, 

 utrincjue transversim snlcato, disco sparse et tenuiter, lateribus 

 magis profunde punctatis. Long. 3-3j lin. 



Hab. The Plaius. 



Vertex shining, nearly impunctate; encarpa3 transverse, (juad- 

 rangular, contiguous, separated by a deep longitudinal groove, 

 which extends downwards for a short distance on the clypeus; 

 the clypeus itself thickened, trigonate ; antenna? nearly three- 

 fourths the length of the body, the second and thii'd joints very 

 short, equal, the fourth and following ones compressed, not 

 dilated, the fourth nearly equal in length to the preceding three 

 united. Thorax three times as broad as long ; sides parallel, 

 very slightly ciirved, the hinder angles acute, the anterior ones 

 thickened, obliquely truncate, produced laterally into a short 

 acute tooth; upper surface transversely sulcate on either side, 

 the sulcation terminating at some distance from the lateral 

 m.argin in a large deep fovea. Scutellum slightly longer than 

 broad, trigonate, its apex obtuse. Elytra broader than the 

 thorax, the sides parallel, the apex rounded; above convex, each 

 elytron with the whole limb (dilated at the apex) nigro-piceous ; 

 on the disc of each are four ill-defined double rows of punctures, 

 the interspaces between which are impressed Avith punctures 

 rather finer than those on the rows themselves; inflexed limb 

 shining black. 



Genus ACROXENA, Baly, n. gen. 



Corpus elongatum. Capnt exsertum; oculis rotvmdatis, pro- 

 niiuentibus; antennis robustis, ad apicem attenuatis. Thorax 

 transversus, dorso non impressus. Elytra thorace latiora, 

 parallela, modice convexa, infra basin non excavata, confuse 

 punctata; limbo reflexo fere ad apicem exteuso. Pedes modice 

 robusti, simplices ; coxis anticis magnis, contiguis ; tibiis a])ice 

 mnticis; nngnifidis appendicidatis. Prosternuia medio coxis
