elytra finely pubescent, and rugose, violaceous black, narrowly 
margined with fulvous. 
Length 4 lines. 
Of elongate, parallel shape, the head rather strongly and closely 
punctured at the middle, pale fulvous, frontal elevations broad, 
trigonate, divided by a central narrow groove, which extends 
upwards to the vertex, clypeus transverse, strongly raised, antennæ 
extending to two-thirds the length of the elytra, black, the basal 
joint short and thick, the second less than half the size, third joint 
one half shorter than the fourth, this the longest and like the fol- 
lowing four joints widened and flattened, three terminal joints 
much shorter and also widened and flat, thorax three times broader 
than long, the sides nearly straight, the anterior margin deeply 
concave, posterior one parallel to it, the surface obsoletely depres- 
sed at the middle and at the sides, very closely and finely punctured, 
the depressions at the sides, marked with a small obscure bluish 
spot, anterior angles tuberculiform, scutellum favous, broad, 
pubescent, its apex broadly rounded, elytra very finely rugose, 
clothed with fine and short yellow pubescence, violaceous, black, 
all the margins narrowly flavous, underside and legs pale fulvous, 
finely pubescent, the posterior portion of the femora and the tibiæ 
and tarsi black, tibiæ unarmed, the first joint of the posterior tarsi 
as long as the following two joints together, claws bifid, anterior 
coxal cavities open. 
ab. Panugdée, Burmah. 
À single male specimen was obtained by M. Andrewes; it 
agrees in all essential characters with the only other species 
(7. tranquebarica Fab.)of this genus,but the antennæ are of rather 
different structure, the ninth joint is not as short as the second 
as in the type, but is as large as the following apical joints and 
equally widened and flattened, although much shorter than the 
preceding joints; I did not think it wise to establish another genus 
on this difference alone; the male has the last abdominal segment 
deeply excavated, the protruding apex of the penis is flattened 
and obliquely pointed. 
Hyphænia obscuripennis n. sp. 
Fuscous-violaceous, the head, basal joints of the antennæ, 
thorax and the legs flavous, thorax transversely sulcate, impunc- 
tate, elytra obscure fuscous, finely and subremotely punctured. 
Length 1 1/2 line. 
Head flavous, impunctate, frontal elevations narrowly trans- 
verse, clypeus triangular, narrow, antennæ not quite extending
