I.. 4| mill. 



Oval, body dusky, above shining, and clothed with short 

 and close greyish pubescence; the head dusky or black, 

 obsoletely punctulate ; the thorax reddish brown, with two 

 somewhat obscure dusky blotches near the base but in a line 

 with each eye, margins clearly red, surface without visible 

 punctuation ; the. scutellum minutely punctulate, somewhat 

 dusky ; the elytra very distinctly and somewhat densely 

 punctulate, broadly margined with red, the internal area of 

 each elytron obscurely brown ; the epipleural rim is very 

 tine, finer than that of It. limbata and the others of this 

 series. 



The dorsal punctuation is a distinguishing character in 

 this species.

Bodolia rufocincta, sp. n. 



Ovalis, niger, griseo-pubescens ; elytris margine cxtus abdominis- 



que segments rufis. 

 L. 5£-5f mill. 



Oval, black, with short and close greyish pubescence ; the 

 head and thorax feebly punctulate, lateral margins of the last 

 obscurely reddish near the base, but distinctly red at the ante- 

 rior angle ; the elytra more distinctly punctulate than the 

 thorax, with the lateral margins narrowly red ; the red margin 

 is broadest from the humeral angle to about one third of the 

 elytral length, from whence it gradually narrows to the apex; 

 the abdomen, segments above and below red; the legs 

 blackish. 



This species is distinctly more oval than either R. Umbatus 

 or B. concolor.
