JVebbia paho, sp. n. 



Head and protliorax dark broAvn, elytra yellowisli brown, 

 darker at tlie commencement of the declivity. Front convex, 

 sparsely punctnrcd over the month, the surface finely undose, 

 polished towards the vertex, with a few minute irregular 

 punctures, longitudinal carina short. Prothurax oue-hal£ 

 longer than broad, subparallel-sided to the anterior fifth, and 

 then rounded to the very obtuse anterior margin, which is 

 broader than the head and hairy, the anterior third closely 

 tuberculate, the tubercles slightly smaller posteriorly and 

 abruptly ceasing at the anterior third ; the rest of the sur- 

 face shagrcened and dnll in colour, the base sinuate. Elytra 

 the same breadth as the protliorax, and longer by the length 

 of the oblique declivity ; sides parallel, feebly punctate-striate, 

 interstices flat, shining, broad, with a few irregular and very 

 minute punctures ; the declivity oblicjuely truncate, each 

 interstice ending in a small serration or tooth at the margin 

 of the fundus, whicli is shining, darker in colour, with obscure 

 strial punctures, and hairy ; about two-thirds from the 

 commencement of the declivity on each elytron, and equi- 

 distant from the suture and the lateral edge, there arises a 

 stout, somewhat flattened process directed upwards and back- 

 wards, at right angles to the surface of the declivity, and 

 ending on the upper inner edge in a sharp inwardly-curved 

 spine, and on the lower outer edge in a much shorter straight 

 spine ; the surface of the fundus below these processes is 

 smooth, and the margin, viewed laterally, is seen to be 

 hollowed out so as to form a pointed angle on the exterior 

 edge just below the level of the base of the above-mentioned 

 processes, and the sutural apical angles of each elytron are 

 extended into stout divergent subtriangular spines.

SphcBTotrypes 4<-tuberculatus, sp. u. 



Head and prothorax variegated in colour, owing to minute 

 scales, the elytra reddish brown, darker towards the base. 

 Front flat, centrally covered with minute forked scales, which 

 become smaller laterally ; the surface behind the eyes and 

 the vertex very dark in colour and finely rugose, with a 

 transverse row of longish hairs over the epistoma; the upper 

 portion of the bi])artite eyes very flat and widely separated
