 tered punctures ; prothorax transverse, narrowed and somewhat 

 rounded anteriorly, the sides crenated, finely and closely punc- 

 tured, two roundish patches on the disc meeting at the median 

 line, and three others of irregular form at the side, corrugated as 

 if worm-eaten ; scutelliim pentagonal, with a smooth raised 

 border; elytra testaceous brown, with very numerous and intri- 

 cate shallow impressions and points ; femora and tibiae armed 

 with a double row of spines beneath ; under surface finely punc- 

 tured, except the posterior margins of the abdominal segments, 

 the second, third and fourth with an impressed spot at the side. 



Length 26 lines. 



Very near M. pallens, Bl., MS. ? but there the prothorax is 

 uniformly punctured. 



Lissonotus Shepherdi. 



L. ater, nitidus ; elytris truncatis, angulo suturali integro, 

 exteriori in spina productis, fascid ante medium interrupta, 

 coccinea. 



Para. 



Closely resembles L. equestris, but the fascia does not extend to 

 the suture, nor is the sutural angle rounded ; the spine is also 

 more produced. 



Length 7 lines. 



Dedicated to our Secretary, to whose indefatigable attention the 

 Society is deeply indebted. 



Caragenia sericata.

 scentibus emarginatis apiculatis ; femoribus intermediis pos- 

 ticisque spinosis. 



Para. 



Fulvous red, with a silky pubescence, prothorax rugose, with 

 two black tubercles on its disc, and a short lateral spine ; elytra 

 rather long, having a blackish tint posteriorly, and an elevated line 

 from the humeral angle to the long apical spine, another line to- 

 wards the suture, commencing beyond the middle but not con-
