26 Mr. F. P. Pascoe's Descriptions of New Genera 



Nearly allied to D. testacea, but narrower ; the antennae testa- 

 ceous, not black, and the prothorax without the slightest trace of 

 the lateral spine. 

 Length 3| lines. 



Obf'mm laterale. 

 O. brunneo-testaceum ; prothorace lined laterali utrinque fusca ; 

 elytris postice latioribus fuscis, luteo-variegatis ; antennis 

 pedibusque testaceis. 

 Ceylon. 



Brownish-testaceous ; eyes and a stripe on each side of tlie 

 prothorax dark brown, the latter elongate and narrowed behind ; 

 elytra dilated posteriorly, brown, varied with reddish-yellow 

 blotches, one at the shoulder and extending obliquely on each 

 side of the scutellum, a broad somewhat V-shaped band common 

 to both at the middle, an oblong spot below, and another margin- 

 ing the apex ; legs and antennae testaceous. 



Length 4 lines. 



Obrium ibidionoides. 



O. testaceum, nitidum ; capite, prothorace, fascia lata apicem 



versus, fusco-castaneis. 

 Australia (prope Sydney). 



Pale testaceous, shining, antennae and body beneath darker ; 

 head, prothorax, and a broad band, or rather patch, on the elytra 

 near the apex, chesnut brown ; prothorax nearly half the length 

 of the elytra, narrower and somewhat constricted behind ; an- 

 tennas rather shorter than the body. 



Length 3^ lines. 



Obrium? mcestum. 

 O. ? rubro-fuscum, validiusculum, confertim punctatum ; oculis 



nigris, sub-integris ; prothorace equali, lateribus rotundatis ; 



pedibus sub-brevibus. 

 Ceylon. 



Reddish -brown, deeply and thickly punctured (including the 

 head) ; eyes black, rounded, slightly emarginate ; prothorax 

 nearly equal, the sides rounded ; elytra nearly parallel, not much 

 wider than the thorax, the apex simple ; legs rather short ; under 

 surface dark brown. 



Length 4| lines. 



Not a true Obrium, but with one greasy specimen only before 

 me I am unwilling to propose a new genus.
