the lateral margin, one before, the other behind the middle, fulvous. 

 Underside, knees, tibiee, and tarsi black, femora fulvous ; four pos- 

 terior tibiae armed Avith an acute long triangular tooth at their 

 outside. 



In my collection. 



Menius, Chapuis. 



(J. Menius viridi^neus, sp. nov. 



Ovate, convex, dark greenish seueous. Antennae and the legs 

 obscure fulvous ; thorax deeply but not closely punctured ; elytra 

 very deeply and regularly punctate-striate, the interstices convex 

 anteriorly. 



Length 2 lines. 



Hab. Cameroons (the plains.) 



Front of head rather swollen, obsoletely and finely punctured, 

 ■with a distinct but short longitudinal groove between the eyes, the 

 latter with a distinct, posteriorly widened groove at their inner 

 margin. Clypeus separated by a triangular impressed line from the 

 face. Labrum fulvous. Antennae half the length of the body, fili- 

 form, entirely fulvous, or with the apical joints piceous. Thorax 

 about twice as broad as long, distinctly narrowed from the base to 

 the apes, its sides but little rounded, surface impressed with deep 

 but rather remotely placed punctures. Scutellum subtriangular, its 

 apex acute. Elytra slightly wider at the base than the thorax, con- 

 vex, regvdarly and deeply punctate-striate near the base, much more 

 finely towards the apes ; below the shoulder several stri^ are united 

 at their ends and their commencement and are only half the length 

 of the rest ; interstices impunctate, subcostate near the base, but 

 flat posteriorly. Femora with a short acute tooth. 



Collected by Mr. Rutherford. Collection Jacoby. 



This species is allied to M. costatus, Baly, but is larger, differently 

 shaped, the thorax much more strongly punctured, and the elytra 

 are devoid of the strongly raised costte near the lateral margin. 



Terillus, Chapuis. 



7. Terilltjs porosus, sp. nov. 



Elongate, convex, fulvous, finely pubescent below. Thorax irregu- 

 larly and moderately strongly, elytra foveolate punctate, the interior 

 of the punctures metallic green. 



Length .3|-4 lines. 



Hab. Australia, Cooktown. 



Head very minutely and closely punctured, and covered with fine 

 silvery pubescence. Antennae half as long as the body, third joint 

 double the length of the second, light fulvous. Thorax about twice 

 as broad as long, its sides straight, disk longitudinally obsoletely 

 sulcate from the base to the apex, rest of the surface irregularly 

 covered with rather fine punctures, pubescent like the head. Scu- 

 tellum smooth. Elytra ibveolate-punctate, the punctures near the 

 base arranged in irregular double rows, the rest confusedly distributed,
