genera and new species of Halticide. 1538 
Manobia castanea, n. sp. 
Subelongate, dark chestnut-brown, the antenne and tarsi paler ; 
thorax very finely punctured, deeply transversely sulcate; elytra 
feebly depressed below the base, finely punctate-striate. Length, 
1 line. 
Of the same shape as M. Dohertyi, and entirely dark brown. 
The head impunctate, the eyes very large, the clypeus rather con- 
cave, antenne fulvous, the basal two joints thickened, the terminal 
joints scarcely dilated ; thorax more than one-half broader than 
long, distinctly narrowed at the base, strongly transversely sulcate, 
the sulcus sinuate, the rest of the surface very finely punctured ; 
elytra but feebly depressed below the base, finely punctate-striate, 
the punctures very fine posteriorly, the apex of the tibiw and the 
tarsi pale fulvous. 
Hab. Perak (Doherty). 
I cannot look upon this species as a variety of the 
preceding one, as there are three specimens before me 
which all show the same differences in regard to colour 
and sculpture. 
Psylliodes nigripes, n. sp. 
Black, above metallic blue, the basal three joints of the antennze 
fulvous; thorax rather closely punctured ; elytra strongly punctate- 
striate, the interstices convex at the sides only, sparingly and 
finely punctured. Length, 14 line. 
Head with a few minute punctures, metallic blue, frontal eleva- 
tions indistinct, labrum piceous, with a row of punctures ; antennz 
black, the lower three joints fulvous, the terminal joints distinctly 
enlarged and thickened, not quite extending to the middle of the 
elytra ; thorax about one-half broader than long, the sides straight, 
the anterior angles oblique, forming another angle before the 
middle, the surface very finely and rather closely punctured ; 
elytra slightly broader at the base than the thorax, strongly and 
regularly punctate-striate, the interstices flat and impunctate, 
slightly costate at the sides; under side black, the abdominal 
segments narrowly margined with testaceous, legs black, the pos- 
terior femora dark metallic blue. 
Hab. New Guinea. 
Larger than P. chapiusi and P. cognata, Baly; the 
elytra with the interstices flat and impunctate.
