55. Prasyptera nigripes, n. sp. 
Black; the base of the terminal joint of the antennae and 
the thorax fulvous; elytra bluish, closely punctured and rugose. 
Length 3 1/, lines. 
Vertex of the head bluish black, impunctate; clypeus finely 
rugose and pubescent; thorax obsoletely depressed near the 
base, three times as broad as long, the depression finely punctu- 
red; underside and legs black. 
Hab. New Guinea, Ramoi (Beccari). 
Distinct on account of the black undersides and legs, the 
obsolete depression of the thorax and the finely rugosely 
punctate elytra. 
56. Prasyptera clypeata, n. sp. 
Fulvous ; vertex of head, antennae and the scutellum black; 
thorax without depression and impunctate; elytra metallic green 
rather remotely punctured and rugose, the punctuation strong; 
apices of the posterior femora, tibiae and tarsi, a spot at the 
sides of the abdominal segments and the pygidium black. 
Length 3 lines. 
Hab. New Guinea, Ramoi (Beccari). 
Differing in the fulvous clypeus, the impunctate and not 
grooved thorax; from P.unifasciata in the much more strongly 
punctured elytra and want of the band of the latter. It is ne- 
cessary to examine more specimens to come to a definite con- 
clusion as to the specific value of these 2 species.
