DiscocB'phala Daagce, sp. n. 



Ochraceons, thickly covered with coarse dark brown punc- 

 tures ; scutelhim with the apex pale ochraceous and with a 

 small ochraceous spot in each basal angle ; body beneath and 

 legs ochraceous, thickly brownly punctate, a central sternal 

 spot and a broad central fascia to the abdomen piceous ; 

 stigraatal spots piceous ; femora sparingly punctate, the punc- 

 tures reddish; antennse ochraceous, the two apical joints 

 wholly brownish. 



The lateral margins of the head are distinctly convexly 

 sinuate a little in front of eyes ; the lateral margins of the 

 pronotum are narrowly ochraceous and impunctate ; the 

 scutellum is distinctly sinuate at about the centre. 



Long. 6-7 millim. 



Hah. West Indies {sic). Coll. Dist. 



Some twenty years ago I acquired five specimens of this 

 species, for which I could obtain no better locality than 

 " received from the West Indies." It has since remained 

 undescribed in my collection, as I hoped to obtain the name 

 of the island where it is found. This still remains an enigma, 

 and I describe the species. The convexly sinuate lateral 

 margins of the head in front of eyes is a prominent character.
