110. Leiopus catops spec, do v. 



(J ? . Browu ; froiis, except upper third, the basal halves of antennal segments 

 3 to 6, the extreme bases of segments 8 to 11, and the entire first and second seg- 

 ments, the thin (proximal) part of the femora, the basal two-thirds of the tibiae, the 

 tarsi and the underside of the body, luteons. Markings of upperside of a Inteous 

 grey pubescence, namely, on protliorax : apical and basal margins, a mesial vitta 

 and a broader lateral one ending at spine, and between the two a spot or an 

 abbreviated vitta ; on elytra : longitudinal lines connected with one another, forming 

 a network of longitudinal meshes, which is interrupted behind the middle by a broad 

 transverse brown space, which is concave and sharply defined in front, irregular 

 behind, and reaches across both elytra, but does not reach the lateral margins ; 

 the basal portion of the net-like pattern is formed by a sutural line and four others, 

 including between themselves two elongate basal spaces, followed by two smaller 

 ones, an anteriorly forked humeral space, and a small infra-humeral space ; a sub- 

 lateral line extends from the posterior connecting bar of the basal network almost 

 parallel to outer margin — which is also luteous grey — to suture before apex, being 

 ■widened behind, and forming there the posterior border of the subapical network. 



Pronotum and elytra flattened, coarsely punctured ; prouotal spine small ; 

 scutellnm sinuate ; elytra obliquely truncate, sutural angle more obtuse than outer 

 one. Anal segment of c? narrow, conical, almost twice the length of the fourth ; 

 of ? prolonged, nearly as long as segments 1 to 4 are long laterally. 



Length, 8 mm.

111. Leiopus fenestrella spec. nov. 



(J?. Similar to catops, smaller; frons brown, except a Inteous spot between 

 antennal tubercles ; pronotal spine very much larger, luteous grey ; this grey 

 pubescence contiguous with a discal, lateral, anteriorly abbreviated, irregular vitta ; 

 a short apical vitta, also not straight, lower down than the spine ; the netlike 

 pattern of the elytra continuous from base to apex, being only laterally interrupted 

 by a browu mesial patch ; apex of elytra sinuate-truncate, both angles being slightly 

 produced, the outer one more than the sutural one. Anal segment shorter than in 

 catops ; that o f ? a little shorter than the three preceding segments together. 



Length, 7 mm.

One pair. 



112. Leiopus paraphelis spec. nov. 



¥ . Brownish black ; pubescent grey. Head uniformly grey, without punctures, 

 except a few on cheek. Antenna brown, bases of segments 3 to 7 luteous, the 

 luteous part very restricted on seventh and just indicated on eighth segment. 

 Pronotum convex, grey, a broad brown space at each side on disc, including two 

 more or less isolated grey spots ; large punctures at base, none or very few on disc ; 

 lateral spine long, acute. Scutellum grey. Elytra convex, coarsely punctured, with 

 feeble indications of two raised lines in middle of disc, grey, base and a broad 

 transverse postmedian band, narrowed on each elytrum at the lateral margin, brown ; 

 the grey parts dotted with brown, the dots situated before apex more or less
