Near. S Koebelei but certainly distinct, differing widely from 
it in color. The present species, moreover, is shorter and broader 
than S. Koebelei and much more strongly convex, so that looked 
at from the side its greatest height is considerably more than 
half its greatest length. The post-humeral dilatation of the 
elytra and their puncturation are not much different from those 
of S. Koebeler but the elytral puncturation is a trifle less strong. 
From the bright coloring and great convexity of this insect I 
should have expected it to be a male, but it seems to be certainly 
a female.

P. (Scymnodes) Koebelei, Blackb. In this species the meso- 
sternum is not carinate and the anterior four claws are subbifid 
in the male, the intermediate less markedly so than the front ones. 
P. (Scymnodes) immaculatus, Blackb. (Mas.) Sat late ovalis ; 
sat convexus; pilis albidis brevibus erectis sat dense vesti- 
tus; piceo-niger, capite antennis palpis pedibus anticis 
femorum intermediorum basi tarsis abdomine et prothoracis 
angulis anticis summis testaceis; capite sparsim subtilius, 
prothorace crebre subtilius, elytris dupliciter (sc. subtilius et 
sat grosse), punctulatis; puncturis in elytris latera apicemque 
versus obsoletescentibus ; elytris pone humeros ad _ latera 
fortiter rotundato-dilatatis; mesosterno haud carinato; 
unguiculis anterioribus subbifidis. Long., 1,5 1.; lat., 12 1. 
This is the insect which I originally called “var.? immaculatus” 
of Koebelei. The inspection of a second specimen together with 
two more of P. Koebelei has satistied me that it is a good species. 
Besides the color ditferences I find that the elytral puncturation 
of immaculatus is distinctly closer than of Koebelei.

P. (Scymnodes) fulvohirtus, Blackb. (Mas.) Breviter late 
ovalis; valde convexus ; pilis albido-fulvescentibus brevibus 
erectis sat dense vestitus; totus piceo-niger, antennis abdom- 
ineque testaceis exceptis ; capite prothoraceque crebre minus 
subtiliter, elytris dupliciter (sc. subtilius et sat grosse) 
punctulatis; puncturis in elytris latera apicemque versus 
paullo minus fortiter impressis ; elytris pone humeros minus 
fortiter rotundato-dilatatis ; mesosterno haud carinato ; 
unguiculis anterioribus subbifidis. Long., 121; lat., 121

This is the insect which I originally called “var.? fulvohirtus” 
of Koehelez. The material now before me however satisfies me 
that it is a distinct species. Besides great difference in color it
