102 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on some new or little-known 



Bitoma jarolata. 



B. lata, depressa, fusca luteo varia; prothorace transverso, granulato, 

 utrinque bicostato, costa interiori postice duplicata, antice emarginato, 

 lateribus crenulatis. 



Hub. Moluccas (Batchian). 



Broad and depressed, dark brown varied witb reddish-yellow ; head 

 punctured, a little concave on each side below the eyes ; prothorax trans- 

 verse, finely granulated, broadest at the base, rounded and dilated 

 at the sides and irregularly crenate, deeply emarginate in front, the disc 

 with two costse on each side, the interior approximating and forming a 

 short canal open towards the head and a loop posteriorly ; elytra not 

 wider than the prothorax, with five crenulated costse on each, the 

 intervals with a double row of deeply impressed punctures, a yellowish 

 spot on the shoulder, another near the apex, between these three others, 

 which, with their fellows, form an indistinct ring ; legs pale yellowish- 

 brown ; body beneath dark brown. Length 2i lines. 



A broader species than the last, with the prothorax especially di- 

 lated at the sides and deeply emarginate anteriorly ; hereafter it may 

 be found necessary to separate it generically from Bitoma. 



Bitoma jejuna. 



B. angusta, rufo-brunnea ; prothorace quadrato, granulato, utrinque tri- 

 costato, costa interna antica abbreviata. 



Hub. Brazil (Rio). 



Narrow, slightly depressed, reddish-brown, the elytra paler ; head 

 granulated, principally between the eyes ; prothorax quadrate, equal in 

 length and breadth, with three costa? on each side, the inner very short 

 and confined to the anterior part, the interstices strongly granulated, 

 the margins crenulated ; scutellum subquadrate ; elytra with five cost® 

 on each, the interstices with two rows of rather shallow punctures ; 

 legs and antenna? ferruginous ; body beneath dark brown, the abdomen 

 reddish-pitchy. Length 1£ line. 



Collected by Alexander Fry, Esq., to whose kindness I owe my 

 specimens. 



Colobicus [Colydiidae]. 



Latreille, Gen. Crust, et Ins. ii. p. 9. 



Colobicus parilis. 



C. oblongus, nigro-piceus, sparse albido-setulosus ; elytris punctato-stri- 

 atis ; antennis pedibusque ferrugineis. 



Hob. Moluccas (Batchian). 



In size and outline very like C. emarginatus, but the head is narrower 

 and the form rather more convex ; the colour on the head, prothorax, 

 and elytra is uniform, with a pitchy gloss, not nearly opake, and the
