236 Mr. J.S. Baly’s Descriptions of uncharacterized 
by acurved depression. Hinder tibize armed within, just before 
the apex, with a slightly curved styliform process. 
Genus Doripga. 
Corpus anguste oblongum, convexum, non metallicum, nitidum. 
Caput exsertum, facie perpendiculari; oculis prominulis, 1n- 
tegris; antennis g robustis, articulis 9-10 valde incrassatis, 
difformibus; @ minus robustis, filiformibus; menfo trans- 
verso-quadrato; palporum articulis duobus ultimis conjunc- 
tim ovatis. Thorax transverso-quadratus, dorso impressus. 
Elytra thorace latiora, subparallela, modice convexa, dorso 
subdepressa, seepe elevato-vittata, confuse punctata. Pedes 
robusti; coxis anticis crassis, erectis, fere contiguis ; femoribus 
posticis non incrassatis ; dibzs posticis g apice in processum 
acutum productis, @ simplicibus; ¢arsorwm anticorum arti- 
culo basali g valde dilatato ; wnguiculis appendiculatis. Pro- 
sternum fere obsoletum. Mesosternum apice non emargi- 
natum. 
Type Doridea insignis. 
Doridea is very closely allied to Platyxantha; they both agree 
in having a certain number of joints dilated in the antenne of the g, 
but in the present genus these joints are the ante-penultimate and 
penultimate, not the two ultimate as in the former; Doridea is also 
more robust and less depressed than Platyxantha. 
Doridea insignis. 
Subelongata, modice convexa, nitida, picea; pedibus antennisque 
obscure fulvis, antennarum articulis 9-10 sat dilatatis, com- 
pressis.

Long. 33 lin. 
Hab. Tringanee. 
Head short, apex of epistome forming a perpendicular ridge, 
which passes upwards between the insertion of the antenne; front 
smooth, impressed with three small foveee, placed in a triangle on 
its surface, from the centre one a perpendicular groove runs down- 
wards to join the apex of the epistome. Antenne nearly as long as 
the body, robust; basal joint incrassate, curved, clavate, second 
short, third to the seventh cylindrical, each gradually thickened 
from base to apex, nearly equal in length, the third being rather 
longer than the others; all gradually increasing in width from the 
fourth to the eighth, this latter joint very short and transverse ; 
ninth and tenth largely dilated and thickened, irregular in shape,
