Hololepta obtusipes, Mars. 



Marseul only knew the female of this species ; the male 

 lias a carina on the mentuin, but it has no thoracic fossettes. 

 It occurs in Java, Sumatra, and in tlie Malay Peninsula. 



Pygoccelis, Lewis. 



The first species of this genus came from Togolaud, 

 Kamerun, and German East Africa, and I iiave now a species 

 from Madagascar. A genus extending over so wide an area 

 is likely to contain very numerous species. 



Teretriosoma sexuale, SchaefFer, Journ. N. York Ent. Soc. 

 xii. p. 203 (1905). 



This species differ.^ from T. conigerum, Lew., in the punc- 

 tuation of the sternal plates, and it is more robust. The 

 paper containing tlie description did not reach me in time 

 for a reference to it in my Catalogue. 



PIcesias Jiamatus, sp. n. 



Oblongo-ovalis, siibdepressu3, niger, nitidus ; fronte stria interrupta ; 

 pronoto stria marginali antice juncta, laterali valida antice 

 hamata ; elytris striis 1 dorsali Integra, 2-5 apicalibus, margine 

 postice punctulata ; propygidio in medio sparse punctato ; pygidio 

 dense punctato ; prosterno bistriato ; mesosterno antice profuade 

 margin ato. 



L. lOi-11 mill. 



This species is similar to P. Icevigatus, Mars., but it is 

 larger and broader ; tlie frontal stria is distinctly interrupted 

 and widens out on either side of the interruption into a shallow 

 and rather rugose depression ; the thorax is straighter along 

 the sides than that of Icevigatus and the lateral stria or sulcus 

 reaches as far again round the anterior angle ; the eljtral 

 striaj, the outer humeral is complete and not widened out like 

 tliat of Icevigatus, the inner humeral is apical and evanescent 

 near the middle, the first dorsal is complete and less crenulate, 

 the other striae are less defined but do not differ much from 

 those of lavigatus, the apices are distinctly but rather 

 narrowly punctulate ; the propygidium is much less closely 

 punctured in the middle; the prosternum has a few punctures 

 on its lobe and the strite are wider apart than those of Uevi- 

 gatus) the mesosternal margination is closely similar in both 

 species.
