Hab. Celebes (collected by Mr. Wallace), also Birmah. 
Head and thorax fulvo-piceous ; vertex shining, impunctate ; 
encarp transverse, oblong ; anteune nearly three fourths the 
length of the body, filiform, the two lower joints piceous, the 
rest black. Thorax three times as broad as long; sides rather 
broadly margined, reflexed, rounded, converging at the base, 
and again from behind the middle to the apex ; anterior angles 
thickened, obtuse, slightly excurved; upper surface smooth 
and shining, nearly impunctate, a few fine punctures only 
being seen under a powerful lens ; lateral margin longitudinally 
concave. Scutellum piceous, its extreme apex obtuse. Elytra 
much broader than the thorax, rotundate-ovate, the shoulders 
broadly rounded ; above moderately convex, the lateral margin 
reflexed ; nigro-piceous, obscure rufo-piceous on the middle 
disk, finely but distinctly punctured ; each elytron with a large 
subovate pale yellow patch, which extends from just before 
to some distance below the middle of the disk, and laterally 
from within the outer limb to within a short distance of 
the suture. Basal joint of hinder tarsus equal in length to the 
following two united. 
Hyphasis picetpennis. 
H., rotundata, modice convexa, fulva, nitida, capite thoraceque rufo-
