Pehrurns Cregoei, sp. n. 



Breriter ovalis, modice convexus ; elytris viridi-oeneis ; fronte con- 

 cava ; pronoto stria marginali Integra, latcribus punctato ; elytris 

 ptriis dorsalibns 1-3 geminatis, 4-5 apicalibus, suturali subintegra ; 

 pvgidio utrinque compresso, basi excepta. 



L. 4^ miU. 



Shortly oval, somewhat convex, coppery black beneath, 

 with the elytra brassy green ; the head punctulate, margined 

 laterally, and the forehead concave ; the thorax, lateral stria 

 well marked and complete, broadly but not very closely punc- 

 tured laterally, with a few transverse punctures before the 

 Bcutellum; the elytra, strije 1-3 geminate, deep and punc- 

 tured, but in the third stria the inner line is interrupted 

 before the base, 4 is represented by a complete outer line and 

 a short inner apical line (these do not join), 5 consists of a 

 short apical line, with an apical puncture to represent the 

 outer line, it also has a basal puncture ; the sutural stria is a 

 single rather fine line, feebly shortened at the base and 

 sinuous apicnlly ; the propygidium has two shallow impres- 

 sions, and the punctures are slightly imbricate and largest at 

 the sides ; the pygidium is compressed on either side except 

 at the base, which is transversely triangular and is on the 

 same plane as the propygidium. 



This species is somewhat similar to P. formosus, Sch., and 

 P. glaucoptenis, Mars., but it is more convex than the first 

 and it differs from the second in its dorsal striation &c.

Tnhalus Hornii, sp. n. 



Ovatus, convexus, piceus vel nigro-piceus ; elytris saepe utrinque 

 late rufo-brunneis ; fronte, stria laterali supra oculos elevata ; 

 pronoto antice angustato, basi transversim rugoso-punctato, stria 

 marginali integra ad angulos elevata ; elytris, striis humerali- 

 bus (externa et interna) integris, dorsalibus obsoletis ; pygidio, 

 antennis, pedibusque rufo-brunneis. 



L. 2-2i mill. 



Oval, convex, piceous or nigro-piceous, shining ; elytra 

 sometimes with a lateral broad reddish-brown margin ; the 

 head, forehead not concave, but impressed on either side close 

 to the lateral stria, which is markedly elevated over the eyes ; 

 the thorax is clearly and finely punctulate, especially on the 

 sides, along the edge of the base is a transverse rugose band 

 of punctures, the marginal stria is entire and elevated laterally 

 behind the anterior angles; the elytra, surface punctulate like
