yellow, witli a wliitish pubescence. Prosternal process 

 simple ; mcsosternal obtusely tubercled near its posterior end. 



Eumimetes alhisparsus, sp. n. 



Piceo-fuscus, pube grisea subtiliter obtectus ; el5'tri3 maculis parvis 

 albcsccntibus dispersis siiigulisqiie scopulis rotundatis pilorum 

 nigrorum duobus — uno humerali, altero medio paullo pone basin. 



Long. ( J ) 18, ( $ ) 21 mm. 



Hah. Imerina ^lountains. 



Dark brown, with a faint greyish pubescence. Prothorax 

 almost impiinctate, with a very short fringe of whitish hairs 

 to the anterior and posterior borders, with a moderately strong 

 tubercle on each side. Scutellura bordered with a white 

 pubescence posteriorly. Elytra sparsely and strongly enough 

 punctured, clothed with a faint greyish pubescence, and with 

 numerous small scattered whitish s|)ots ; each with two small 

 rounded tufts of black hairs, of which one is at the shoulder, 

 the other placed a little distance from the base on the middle 

 of the disk. Breast and abdomen with some minute scattered, 

 glabrous, and shining spots, each surrounding a shallow 

 })uncture. Antenn.'B in the male about a third longer than 

 the body, in the female barely surpassing the elytra. 



This species seems to be undoubtedly congeneric with 

 Eumimetes sparsus^ I'^'wg, notwithstanding the tufts of hairs 

 on the elytra and the somewhat stronger tubercles to the 

 prothorax. In Eumimetes also must, 1 think, be placed E. 

 /lumeralis, Vollenh. {Phf/masterna) , for which Phymasttrna 

 sexpunctata, Fairm., is probably a synonym. 



Steiiosoma apicalis, sp. n. 



Griseo levitcr pubesccns, brunneo-varicgata ; prothorace utrinque 

 minute tubcrculato ; clytris clongatis, angustis, paralleiis, ad 

 suturam loiigitudinaliter subcanaliculatis, apioibus truncatis, 

 acgidis cxteniis brcvitcr spinosis ; aiitennis corpore longioribus, 

 subtus sparsissime ciliatis, scapo quam articulo tortio longiore. 



Long. 7-1 U, lat. 2-2| mm. 



Hah. Antananarivo {Kingdom) . 



Unless a special genus is formed for its reception this 

 species must, I think, remain in Stenosoma. It has com- 

 pletely the aspect of species ot this genus, tlid'ering chiefly by 

 the more elongate scape of the anteniuv and the external 

 spines to the apices of the elytra. In a sj)ecimen with the 

 antennae not much longer than the body, which I suppose to 

 be a female, there is no excavation at the apex of the abdo- 

 men.
