372 Mr. J. S. Baly on New Genera 



(Sp. lid.) Gephaloleia cognata. 



Elongata, depressa, pallide fulva, nitida, antennis (basi 

 excepta) nigris ; thorace subquadi-ato, remote punctato, 

 lateribus rectis ; elytris thorace latioribus^ parallelis, apice 

 obtuse rotundatis, sat fortiter punctato-striatis, punctis 

 apicem versus minus fortiter impressis, interspatiis planis, 

 lis ad latera obsolete convexis, uno infra callum humerale 

 costato. 



Fern. : abdominis segmento anali apice bisinuato. 



Long. 2^-3 lines. 



Hah. — Bahia. 



Antenna3 half the length of the body, basal joint nearly 

 as long as the second and third united, the third half as 

 long again as the second, the two lower joints rufous, the 

 following two nigro-piceous, the rest entirely black. 

 Thorax scarcely broader than long", sides straight and 

 parallel, rounded and converging at the extreme apex; 

 disc transversely convex, remotely impressed with round 

 punctures, sides narrowly but strongly margined, re- 

 flexed. Elytra broader than the thorax, parallel, obtusely 

 rounded at the apex, rather more broadly margined than 

 in the allied species ; upper surface slightly flattened at 

 the extreme base between the shoulders ; sides oblique 

 and excavated below the humeral callus ; distinctly punc- 

 tate-striate in front, the punctures smaller and less strong- 

 ly impressed behind the middle ; interspaces on the inner 

 disc plane, those near the outer border slightly convex, 

 the interspace below the humeral callus distinctly costate 

 for nearly half its length ; fourth and fifth, stride from the 

 outer border rather deeply impressed along their middle 

 third. 



(Sp. He.) Cephaloleia apicicornis. 



Elongata, parallela, subdepressa, sordide flava, sub- 

 nitida, subtus nitida; antennis apice oculisque nigris ; 

 thorace longitudine distincte latiori, lateribus rectis, 

 dorso hie illic punctis rotundatis fortiter impresso ; 

 elytris thorace latioribus, parallelis, apice rotundatis, 

 dorso prope suturam complanatis, punctato-striatis, 

 punctis apicem versus minus distincte impressis, inter- 

 spatiis ad latera convexiusculis.
