317. — Anthrends nigricans, n. sp. 

 Length 1| lines. 

 Black, punctate, with the head and thorax sprinkled with a 

 whitish pubescence, and with two interrupted fascite of the same 

 on the elytra. The under surface of the abdomen and the py- 

 gidium are densely covered with orange coloured pubescence. 



318. — Crtptorhopalum obscdrum. n. sp. 

 Length 1| lines. 



Black, opaque, punctate and covered with a short decumbent 

 yellowish pile. Basal lobe of thorax broadly rounded. Elytra 

 with two distinct lateral strige, and faint traces of others over the 

 rest of their surface. 



I may not be correct in placing this insect in the genus 

 CryptGrJiopalum ; it will probably be found on an examination 

 more minute than I have been able to give it to form a new 

 genus. 



319. — Trinodes pdnctipennis. n. sp. 

 Length 1^ lines. 

 Black, subnitid, punctate and very hairy. Thorax strongly 

 bisinuate at the base, with the median lobe slightly emarginate. 

 Scutellum smooth, triangular and somewhat convex. Elytra 

 coarsely punctured in irregular rows. Legs of a piceous red 

 colour. 



320. — Trinodes globosus. n. sp. 

 Length I of a line. 

 Besides the great difference in size this species differs from 

 the last in being very short and convex, in having the base of the 

 thorax less bisinuated, and in having the scutellum nearly round.
