148 Mr. M. Jacoby’s descriptions of some new 
elytra, pale fulvous, the third joint distinctly shorter than the 
fourth joint; thorax about twice as broad as long, the sides straight 
at the base, rather strongly rounded before the middle, the anterior 
angles oblique, the posterior ones acute, each furnished with a 
single hair, the surface deeply punctured near the base only, with 
a short deep longitudinal groove at each side of the basal margin, 
and a semicircular groove surrounding the anterior angles; elytra 
deeply and regularly punctate-striate, each with ten rows of punc- 
tures (including the short subsutural one), the second and third 
rows joined at their beginning, but not quite extending to the base, 
the fourth and fifth rows also joined and extending quite to the 
basal margin, the surface dark brown, interrupted by small elon- 
gate flavous spots, numbering about fifty on each elytron, and 
placed somewhat in three or four oblique rows. Under side and 
legs dark brown. The last abdominal segment of the male incised 
at each side, forming a subquadrate median lobe. 
Hab. Gorontalo (Rosenberg). 
A single specimen has been sent to me under the 
name of B. flavopustulata, Baly, from which species it is, 
however, distinct, as a comparison with the type con- 
tained in the British Museum has proved to me. The 
present species is larger, and of more elongate shape, 
and the elytral spots are much more numerous. In 
B. flavopustulata the labrum is flavous (not piceous as in 
this species), the clypeus is coarsely punctured, and the 
thorax is a little more than twice as broad as long; while 
the elytral interstices are plane and finely punctured 
instead of convex and impunctate, as in B. Duvivier. 
BLEPHAROIDES, 0. gen. 
Body elongate, broad, subparallel; palpi slender; antenne sub- 
filiform, the terminal joints slightly thickened ; thorax transverse, 
without any grooves; elytra punctate-striate ; tibiz longitudinally 
suleate, the posterior ones emarginate at the apex, the latter with 
a strong spur; the first joint of the posterior tarsi as long as the 
following two joints together, second joint very short; claws 
appendiculate ; prosternum narrowly elongate and longitudinally 
grooved, its lower edge straight and dilated; the anterior coxal 
cavities closed. 
The insect for which the present genus is proposed 
resembles Podontia and Blepharida in most structural 
characters, and in general appearance and coloration ;
