This species resembles much in pattern D. sheppardi, Baly ; but 

 it is easily distinguished from that species by its small size and the 

 double rows of punctures on the elyti-a, the punctuation in D. shep- 

 pardi being more irregular, and so coarse as to be distinctly visible 

 to the naked eye. 



11. DORYPHORA ORNATA, Sp. nOV. 



Ovate, convex, shining ; head black, covered with fine and re- 

 mote punctures, labrum fulvous ; mandibnlse, palpi, and antennae 

 black ; thorax very shining black, with a slight greenish tint, evenly 

 and distinctly but not closely punctate, with two or three rather 

 deep impressions near the lateral margins ; scutellum entirely im- 

 punctate ; elytra strongly punctate-striate, the striae running together 

 in pairs, more obsolete towards the apex, shining black, each elytron 

 with four spots of a bright fulvous colour, situated as follows — one 

 oval-shaped near the scutellum, another near the sutural line, ex- 

 actly in the middle, a larger pear-shaped spot reaching from the 

 base of the shoulder to a little before the middle, and a large tri- 

 angular patch occupying the entire apex and terminating in a 

 sharp point ; this patch contains a small roundish black spot near 

 its extremity ; body below, feet, and tarsi black, shining.

Ovate, convex ; head and thorax dark brown, elytra flavous, with 

 brown, irregular, longitudinal patches. Head with a few fine irre- 

 gularly distributed punctures ; antennae almost filiform, with the 

 third joint nearly double the length of the fourth and the longest, 

 the following joints slightly stouter, and the last very nearly as long 

 as the third, and very pointed at the apex, the first five joints brown, 

 the rest fuscous, with the exception of the last, which is of a light 

 testaceous colour, labrum and palpi brown, thorax with the lateral 

 margins parallel until about the middle, from there slightly widened 

 and much rounded towards the apex, the anterior angles acute, sur- 

 face deeply but not closely punctate, with a distinct longitudinal 

 depression at a little distance from the lateral margin ; scutellum 

 triangular, smooth, brown, margined with black ; elytra wider at the 

 base than the thorax, oblong-ovate, regularly rounded near the apex, 

 distinctly striate-punctate till about the middle, very obsoletely from 

 there to the apex flavous, lateral margin, the suture, an oblong patch, 

 much widened in the middle, running in an oblique direction from 

 the base near the scutellum towards the sutural margin behind the 

 middle, and another longitudinal subquadrate patch near the apex, 

 not touching the suture nor the exterior margin, dark brown ; in the 

 middle of the elytra another short streak of the same colour is
