116 Mr. Martin Jacoby on 
Trichostola striatipennis, sp. n. 
Greenish-zneous, clothed with fulvous pubescence, below black, 
the basal joints of the antenne, and the legs fulvous; thorax 
extremely finely and closely punctured; elytra with strongly punc- 
tured stri, the interstices finely and sparingly punctured, slightly 
convex. 
Length, 2 millim. 
Clothed, like the preceding species, over all the upper surface 
with fulvous pubescence, obscuring the punctuation of the head and 
thorax ; the labrum and the lower four joints of the antenn fulvous, 
the other joints black and strongly thickened. Thorax about twice 
as broad as long, sides rounded and strongly deflexed anteriorly, 
punctuation very fine and close. Elytra strongly convex, rather 
pointed posteriorly, cupreous or metallic greenish, like the head and 
thorax, with closely-approximate and strongly punctured strie, 
interstices slightly raised and finely punctured, basal depression 
absent. Legs entirely fulvous. 
Hab. Mauritius.—ReEvunion, Plaine des Palmistes. 
It is with some doubt that I separate this species from 
T. vestita, to which it is at all events closely allied ; but 
all the specimens obtained by Mons. Alluaud are much 
larger and more pointed posteriorly, the pubescence is of 
a more decided fulvous colour and the punctures of the 
elytra are large and closely placed in striz, the imterstices 
slightly convex throughout. 
At first sight the insect appears to be double the size 
of 7. vestita on account of its much greater breadth and 
length, and the elytral punctuation is distinctly visible in 
spite of the pubescence. 
Trichostola variegata, sp. n. 
Below obscure fulvous, above obscure cupreous, the basal three 
joints of the antenne and the legs fulvous ; head and thorax closely 
punctured and pubescent; elytra with basal depression, strongly 
punctate-striate, the interstices slightly convex, with long pubescence 
the disc cupreous, the sides greenish, 
Length, 2 millim. 
At once separable from the other species described here by the 
very distinct elytral depression. Head finely rugosely punctate, 
cupreous and clothed with grey pubescence, eyes large, labrum
