• gris ; thorace opaco, granuloso, impunctato ; elytris infra 

 basin obsolete depressis ; striis integris, pone medium minus 

 fortiter pimctatis, punctis infuscatis ; interspatiis ante medium 

 obsolete convexiusculis ; margine laterali abdominisque basi 

 piceis ; femoribus subtus dente minuto armatis. 



Long. 2^- lin. 



Hab. Sulu Islands, New Guinea, 



Head very finely granulose, impunctate, lower portion of front 

 impressed with a very faint longitudinal fovea ; epistome forming 

 a single piece with the front, its anterior border concave-emarginate, 

 slightly produced, subacute. Thorax twice as broad as long; 

 sides rounded, converging from the middle to the apex, all the 

 angles armed with an obtuse tooth ; surface granulose, impunctate. 

 Scutellum scarcely longer than broad, its apex rounded, obso- 

 letely angled. Elytra very faintly excavated below the basilar 

 space, punctured as in the preceding species ; surface subnitidous, 

 very finely granulose. 



Very closely related to R. amab'ilis, of which it is possibly a 

 variety; the thorax more regularly rounded. 



4G. Rlnjparkla fulvescens, n. sp. 

 Elongata, convexa, fulva, nitida ; anteniiis flavis ; thorace sub- 

 nitido, hie illic sparse punctato ; elytris thorace pauUo latiori- 

 bus, parallelis, convexis, infra basin leviter transversim ex- 

 cavatis ; striis integris, sulcatis, fortiter punctatis ; interspatiis 

 convexis ; femoribus muticis. 

 Long. 2 lin. 

 Hab. Gilolo. 



Head granulose, front impunctate, its lower portion impressed 

 vvith the usual longitudinal groove ; epistome not distinctly sepa- 

 rated from the front, the apical sutures being ill defined, longer 

 than broad, pentagonal ; sides slightly converging backwards ; 

 anterior border broadly concave-emarginate, angles of the notch 

 produced, obtuse ; surface slightly depressed, deeply and coarse'y 

 but not closely punctured ; jaws rufo-piceous, their apex black. 

 Thorax twice as broad a long; sides slightly rounded and nearly 

 parallel at the base, obliquely converging from behind the middle 

 to the apex ; anterior angles produced into an obtuse tooth, 

 liinder angles tuberculate ; above granulose, impressed here and
