6^^ and 7'** as in the C. nodicornis Wied. In the structure of 

 the other joints the présent insecl differs from C. fulvicollis, the 

 second joint being of transverse shape and Ihe following ones not 

 being gradually widened, the colour of the under side aiso differs; 

 there are two maies but no female before me. Another closeiy 

 allied species is the following. 



GEROPHYSA MANDARENSIS sp. n. 



Fulvous, the antennse and the greater part of tho legs black, 

 thorax with a shallow transverse sulcus, impunctate, elytra viola- 

 ceous very finely punctured. 



Mas. The 8'^ joint of the antennse strongly enlarged and subcylin- 

 drical, the preceding and the following three joints subtriangularly 

 widened. 



Length 5 mill. 



Head impunctate, reddish fulvous, frontal élévations broad, 

 deeply divided, clypeus triangnlar, palpi black, antennae with the 

 basai joint subquadrately widened, the second short, the third and 

 fourth subelongate, nearly equal, the following three subtriangu- 

 larly widened, black, eighlh joint fulvous, very elongate, subcylin- 

 drical and strongly widened, the last three joints similar to the S''', 

 6*^^ and 7'^ joints, terminal joint ending in a point; thorax scarcely 

 one half broader Ihan long, the sides rounded, the dise impunctate, 

 with a narrow, transverse, sinuate groove, not extending to the 

 margins, scutellum fulvous, elytra very finely and rather sparin- 

 gly punctured, partly arianged in irregular rows, dark violaceous; 

 under side fulvous, the legs black, the base of the femora more or 

 less fulvous. 



Hah. Mandar, Bengal (my collection). 



The antennse in this species, although having again the 8'^ joint 

 dilated as in C. fulvicollis Jac. and in the preceding species, differ 

 from either in the différent shape of the other joints, also in the 

 narrow thoracic groove; the antennse in the female are of normal 

 structure with a slight dilatation of the 8"^ joint, but the basai joint 

 is much more elongate and gradually widened and ail are black. 



APOPHYLLIA (MALAXIA) METALLIGA sp. n. 



Black, the basai joints of the antennœ flavous, thorax transver- 

 sely sulcate, ffavous, elytra greenish-œneous, the suture purplish, 

 finely coriaceous, legs ffavous. 



Length 5 mill. 



Head very ffnely punctured and sparingly clothed with grey
