102 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on some new or little-known 



Bitoma lyrolata. 



B. lata, depressa, fusca luteo varia; prothorace transverse, granulate, 

 utrinque bicostato, costa interior! postice duplicata, antice emarginato, 

 lateribus creniilatis. 



Hob. Moluccas (Batchian). 



Broad and depressed, dark brown varied with reddish-j^ellow ; head 

 punctured, a little concave on each side below the eyes ; prothorax ti-ans- 

 verse, finely gi-anulated, broadest at the base, rounded and dilated 

 at the sides and irregularly crenate, deeply emarginate in front, the disc 

 with two costse on each side, the interior approximating and forming a 

 short canal open towards the head and a loop posteriorly ; elytra not 

 wider than the prothorax, with five crenulated costse on each, the 

 intervals with a double row of deeply impressed punctures, a yellowish 

 spot on the shoulder, another near the apex, between these three others, 

 which, with their fellows, form an indistinct ring ; legs pale yellowish- 

 brown ; body beneath dark brown. Length 2\ lines. 



A broader species than the last, with the prothorax especially di- 

 lated at the sides and deeply emarginate anteriorly ; hereafter it may 

 be found necessary to separate it generically from Bitoma. 



Bitoma jejuna. 



B. angusta, rufo-brunnea ; prothorace quadrate, granulate, utrinque tri- 

 costato, cesta interna antica abbreviata. 



Hah. Brazil (Rio). 



Narrow, slightly depressed, reddish-brown, the elytra paler ; head 

 granulated, principally between the eyes ; prothorax quadrate, equal in 

 length and breadth, with three costae on each side, the inner very short 

 and confined to the anterior part, the interstices strongly granidated, 

 the margins crenulated ; scuteUum subquadrate ; elytra with five costse 

 on each, the interstices with two rows of rather shallow punctures ; 

 legs and antennae ferruginous ; body beneath dark brown, the abdomen 

 reddish-pitchy. Length 1^ line. 



Collected by Alexander Fry, Esq., to whose kindness I owe my 

 specimens. 



CoLOBicus [Colydiidse]. 



Latreille, Gen. Crust, et Ins. ii. p. 9. 



Colobicus ])ariUs. 



C. oblengus, nigro-piceus, sparse albide-setulosus ; elji;ris punctato-stri- 

 atis ; antennis pedibusque ferrugineis. 



Hab. Moluccas (Batchian). 



In size and outline very like C. emarginatus, but the head is narrower 

 and the form rather mere convex ; the colour on the head, prothorax, 

 and elytra is uniform, with a pitchy gloss, net nearly opake, and the
