HYPHASIS OBSCURIPENNIS n. sp. 



Obscure testaceous, the antennae blackish, head and thorax

Hah. Birmah. (Collection iM. Andrewes and my own.) 



This small species is of rather peculiar and uncertain coloration 

 and very closely allied to H. discoidalis Jac. from Bengal, but as 

 the five specimens before me all differ in the same way from the 

 last named species, I must consider them specifically distinct; the

 and flavous (excepting the apical joints), the scutellum is flavous, 

 and the elytra, although finely, are more. distinctly and remotely 

 punctured, lastly the posterior femora have no black apex. 



PSEUDODERA CYANIPENNIS n. sp. 



Bluish black below, as well as the head, thorax transverse, 

 fulvous, very convex, punctured at the middle and at the base, 

 elytra metallic blue, strongly and rather closely punctate-striate. 



Length 6 mill. 



Of elongate, convex shape, the head bluish-black, the vertex 

 impunctate, frontal tubercles small, carina acutely raised, antennae 

 rather short, extending to the base of the elytra only, black, the 

 basal joint fulvous at the extreme apex, the third joint one half 

 longer than the second one, the terminal six joints thickened; 

 thorax twice as broad as long, very convex, the sides straight at
