568. — Platydema Pascoei. n. sp. 



Length 1| lines. 

 Black, subnitid, very finely punctate. Head transversely 

 impressed in front of the eyes. Thorax slightly foveolate at the 

 base half way between the median line and the posterior angles. 

 Elytra finely and distinctly striato-punctate, with the base and 

 apex of a piceous red. Legs reddish brown. 



This species is more elongate and less convex than the pre- 

 ceding two species and is moreover quite unarmed on the head, 

 unless the specimens before me are all females. 



569. — Platydema laticolle. n. sp. 

 Length 2 lines. 



This insect diffei's considerably from the other species of 

 Platydema in having a flatter and moi*e oval form, longer 

 antennee and larger palpi ; it ought probably to form anew genus. 



The whole insect is of a piceous hue, very nitid and very 

 minutely punctate, excepting on the elytra which are distinctly 

 striato-punctate. The thorax is broad, more truncate at the base 

 than usual in the genus, and distinctly marked with longitudinal 

 impressions, instead of foveol^ at the base.
