214 Mr. C. O. Waterhouse on neic Species of GoUopterd. 



of the thorax and the elytra is a dull rusty brown. The 

 antennas are less strongly dentate than in the female of that 

 species. The thorax is shining, rather strongly punctured 

 within the incrassated margins, more transverse than in D. 

 pubicornis, less rounded in front ; and the posterior angles are 

 not directed outwards. The elytra are parallel, strongly 

 striated, the stria? rather distinctly and very strongly punc- 

 tured; the interstices are very narrow ; the pubescence is very 

 dense and fine, but not so long as in D, pubicornis. 



Hob. Malabar. 



A single example recently received from the East-India 

 Museum. 



Zophosrnae. 



Nosoderma cordicolle, n. sp. 



Nigrum, dense sabulosum : thorace cordato, lateribus obtuse quadri- 

 dentatis ; elytris infra humeros thorace lalioribus, postice angus- 

 tatis, fortiter subseriatim punctatis, tuberculis obtusis sex in- 

 structis, marginibus obtuse dentatis. 



Long. 7 Hn. 



This species somewhat resembles N. furcatum, Kirsch. 

 Densely covered with dirty brown sand-like scales. Thorax 

 a little longer than broad, somewhat rounded in front, nar- 

 rowed towards the base, with four obtuse teeth on the margin ; 

 the surface is uneven, impressed on the disk before and behind 

 the middle, and with a slight double prominence in the middle 

 of the front margin. The elytra are broadest a little way 

 from the base, narrowed posteriorly, with several obtuse teeth 

 or projections on the margin, arranged, four small ones around 

 the shoulder, two (close together) about the middle, another 

 just behind these, a large one some way from the apex, another 

 smaller one near the apex, and a small one close to the suture; 

 each elytron has several round, obtuse nodules, the largest 

 of which is just before the posterior declivity. The pro- 

 sternum is very broad, with a transverse impression in front, 

 declivous posteriorly. The mesosternum is moderately broad, 

 sloping. The intercoxal process of the abdomen is very broad 

 and quadrate. 



Hab. Usambala Hills, East Africa. 



The general appearance of this interesting species is some- 

 what that of N. furcatum ; but the form of the sterna and the 

 broad intercoxal abdominal process are more like those of N. 

 diaboh'cum. The antennas are nearly those of furcatum ; but 

 the eleventh joint appears to be lost in the apex of the tenth. 

 The tarsi are cylindrical, as in furcatum ; but the pubescence 

 below is not so long ; they are not channelled as in diaboli-
