Cholera liiguhris, n. s. 



Ovalis, posterius attenuatiis, densissime subtilissi- 

 meque pubescens, opacus, niger, antennarum basi rufo- 

 obscuro ; vix perspicue punctatus, sed elytris confertim 

 transvei'sim strigulosis. Long. 2| — 4|- mm. 



Autennse rather longer than head and thorax, rather 

 stout, a good deal thickened towards the apex ; 7th joint 

 rather longer than any of the others, rather longer than 

 broad ; 8tli much smaller than the contiguous joints ; 

 9th and 10th each about as long as broad. Thorax very 

 finely punctured and pubescent, a good deal sinuate at 

 the base on each side, so that the hind angles appear 

 prolonged backwards. Elytra with a distinct sutural 

 stria, and rather closely transversely strigose. Spurs 

 of hind tibife elongate. 



The male has the front and middle tarsi greatly 

 dilated. The species apparently varies much in size. 



Grey mouth ; Mr. Helms. 



There can be no doubt that this insect is congeneric 

 with Cholera antipodum, Kirsch, but whether it be so with 

 our European species I cannot decide a,t present. 

 C. luguhris resembles a good deal the European C. cora- 

 cina, though very distinct by its sculpture. 



Grynoma regularis, n. s. 



Oblouga, subparallela, parum convexa, fuscula ; ely- 

 tris ferrugineo-variegatis ; pube tenui erecta vestita ; 

 elytris pube albido-micante ornatis, punctis magnis fere 

 seriatim dispositis sat distantibus. Long. S^- mm. 



Of rather parallel and elongate form. Antenna black. 

 Head about half as broad as the thorax, its sculpture 

 dense, but much concealed by an elongate pubescence. 

 Thorax very transverse, twice as broad as long, the sides 

 rounded, becoming a little broader from the front to near 

 the base, and thence a good deal narrowed, the hind 

 angles definite and not far from being rectangular ; the 

 surface densely sculptured, and pubescent like the head. 

 Elytra nearly black, much variegated with pale red, and 

 with a very conspicuous maculation caused by patches of 

 shining white down ; the surface bears large and deep 

 round punctures ; these are not close together, and are 

 not altogether regularly arranged ; from each springs a
