ECTROMA. 
E. parvicolle, sp. nov. Oblongum, postice paullo latius ; testaceum 
elytris postice et segmento ventrali apicali infuscatis, pro- 
thorace obscure fusco-cincto et in medio fusco-bivittato ; 
antennarum articulo basali 3° subbreviori ; prothorace parvo 
sat transverso, antice subtruncato quam _ postice vix 
angustiori, lateribus parum arcuatis postice nullo modo 
sinuatis, angulis posticis sat rotundatis; elytris striatis. 
Long., 24 1.; lat., 14.1. 
As both the specimens that I have seen of this insect are 
females, there is a possibility that the discovery of the male might 
involve its removal from Ectroma, although it appears so evi- 
dently congeneric with the females of the species previously 
attributed to the genus that I do not think there is any danger 
in placing it with them. It is not unlike, in color and markings, 
E. obsoletum, Blackb., and has somewhat the appearance of a 
washed-out specimen of Sarothrocrepis corticalis, Fab. It may at 
once be distinguished, however, from Z. obsoletwm, and from the 
others previously described of the genus by its comparatively 
_ small prothorax, the sides of which are not at all sinuate behind, 
while the hind angles are extremely obtuse—almost rounded off.

AGONOCHEILA. 
A. perplexa, sp. nov. Ferruginea, capite prothoraceque rufescen- 
tibus, elytrorum sutura et vitta submarginali (hac postice 
dilatata) infuscatis; prothorace fortiter transverso, antice 
parum emarginato, angulis anticis rotundatis posticis obtusis, 
lateribus sat fortiter arcuatis mox ante medium subangulatis 
postice vix sinuatis ; elytris fortiter crebre (fere ut A. cribri- 
pennis, Chaud., sed paulo magis crebre) punctulatis, distincte 
striatis ; maris tarsorum anticorum articulis modice dilatatis. 
Long., 24 1. ; lat., 13, 1 
This species is easily recognisable by the puncturation of the 
elytra being as strong and coarse as, but evidently closer than, in 
A eribripennis, Chaud., while its elytra are about as distinctly 
striate as those of A. curtula, Er., and its prothorax scarcely 
differs from that of the latter species except in being slightly less 
transverse, and with hind angles slightly less defined.

SCOPODES. 
S. sumplex, sp. nov. Ovalis ; nigro-cceruleus ; capite supra longi- 
tudinaliter sat fortiter striolato; prothorace quam caput 
angustiori, supra leviter striolato, modice transverso, angulis 
posticis obtusis bene determinatis, latitudine majori mox 
pone marginem anticum posita, lateribus postice sinuatis
