obtusely dentate in the middle ; the second spot is also rela- 

 tively narrower and more transverse, and it leaves a wide 

 mir^^in both at the suture and on the outer margin, and it is 

 also t'urtlier from the apex of the wing-case. Body beneath 

 reddish brown.

Holostrophus 4-macuIatus, sp. n. 



Oblongo-ovatus, subtus rufo-bruntieus ; elytris 4-maculati9, maculis 

 rufis, macula posteriore tranversa; antennis pedibusque rufo- 

 brunneis. 



L. 3|-4 mill. 



Oblong oval, clothed with short pubescence ; the head 

 piceous or reddish brown ; the thorax black, punctulate, some- 

 times with an obscure reddish spot on the middle of the lateral 

 margin ; the elytra black, with a red lobe-shaped spot before 

 the base, which nearly touches the epipleuree, but on the 

 sutural side leaves a wide interstice, before the apex is a 

 second red spot, transverse in form, sometimes it touches the 

 epi})leur£e, and sometimes it is interrupted at the suture, but 

 not usually ; the antennae and legs clear reddish brown. 



The punctuation of the thorax is more clearly defined than 

 in that of //. orientalis.

Holostrophus unicolor^ sp. n. 



Oblongo-ovalis, punctulatus, obscure niger, subtus brunneo-niger ; 



elytris immaculatis ; antennis pedibusque dilutioribus. 

 L. 4 miU. 



This species is smaller and narrower than //. A-maculatus, 

 with the upper surface concolorous ; the antennae, palpi, tibiae, 

 and tarsi reddish brown, with thighs darker. The surface- 

 sculpture in this and the three preceding species is very similar, 

 and the characters suitable for specific distinctions relate 

 chiefly to colour. 



I am indebted to Dr. Horn, the author of the genus IIolo^ 

 strophus, for indicating, when on a visit here, that my Eastern 

 captures belong to his genus.
