lateral two or three strongly so. ResemV)les the preceding 

 (C. elegantior) in the coarse puncturation of its head and pro- 

 thorax but differs from it inter alia very widely in coloring, also 

 in the presence of a comparatively strong longitudinal carina on 

 the pronotum, and the details of the elytral sculpture. A small 

 brown Cryjytarcha less narrowed behind (from the same region) 

 appears to me to be a starved immature example of this insect, 

 but may represent a distinct species.

PHORMESA. 



P. Carpentarue, sp. nov. iSat depressa ; sat opaca ; piceo-nigra, 

 capite antice pronoti lateribus elytris (basi fascia lata 

 mediana apice et maculis nonnullis parvis piceis exceptis) 

 antennis pedibusque rufotestaceis ; prothorace transverso, 

 ab apice retrorsum leviter angustato, supra confertim sub- 

 tiliter aspero, utrinque bicostato, costis exterioribus integris 

 (interioribus prope marginem anticum introrsum subito versis 

 et hie inter se fere conjunctis, postice introrsum sic ut laquea 

 singula formant versis), lateribus fere rectis sat anguste 

 reflexo-marginatis subtilius crenulatis, angulis anticis fortiter 

 productis sat acutis posticis obtusis ; elytris singulis 

 5-carrnatis interstitiis grosse biseriatim punctulatis. Long.^

 Remarkably suggestive of the European Ditoma crenata, 

 Hbst., in color and markings. I think it should be placed in 

 JPhormesa, but it seems to incline towards Ditoma^ its antennary 

 furrows being very feeble, and the reflexed margin of its pro- 

 notum distinctly narrow.

TODIMA. 



T. lateralis, sp. nov. Elongata, postice sat angustata ; parum 

 convexa ; minus nitida ; parce pubescens ; rufula, capite et 

 pronoti elytrorumque disco infuscatis ; capite subquadrato, 

 antice bifoveolato, confertim subtiliter ruguloso punctulato ; 

 prothorace transverso, supra ut caput sculpturato, ad latera 

 latius (quam T. fuscce, Grouv. et rufula, Grouv. perspicue 

 magis late) explanato, disco depresso. utrinque substriato, 

 striis antice et postice incurvatis, lateribus fere rectis, 

 angulis anticis subs cutis posticis fere rectis ; elytris quam 

 prothorax parum latioribus, punctulato-striatis, interstitiis 

 sat planis (7° subcariniformi, elytris extra hoc sat abrupte 

 declivibus). Long., IJ 1.; lat., J 1.
