C. capitata differs from C. parvula in the entirely flavous head 
and thorax and in the curious structure of the former, also in 
the differently punctured elytra. 
103. Cynorta unicolor, n. sp. 
Pale fulvous; antennae, the two first joints excepted, fuscous; 
head and thorax impunctate; elytra obsoletely costate, the in- 
terstices finely punctured. 
Length 2!/,-3 lines. 
Head impunctate, the frontal tubercles strongly raised, bounded 
behind by a transverse groove, the carina in shape of an acu- 
tely raised and narrow ridge; antennae very closely approached, 
two thirds the length of the body, the two basal joints fulvous, 
the rest fuscous, first joint very long, claviform, the second one, 
half the length of the third, short, the fourth rather longer than 
the two preceding joints together; thorax about one half broader 
than long, the sides slightly rounded, the disc biimpressed, im- 
punctate; elytra not depressed below the base, closely and 
obsoletely longitudinally costate, the interstices finely punctured; 
underside and legs fulvous; posterior tibiae mucronate, their 
. metatarsus longer than the three following joints together; claws 
appendiculate ; elytral epipleurae obsolete below the middle ; 
anterior coxal cavities closed. 
Hab. New Guinea, Sorong, May (L. M. D'Albertis). 
The disappearance of the elytral epipleurae below the middle 
would perhaps have justified the erection of another genus for 
the reception of the present species; in the absence of any 
other generic characters however which would have separated 
C. unicolor from C. porrecta Baly I thought it best to leave the 
insect in the present genus. | 
104. Menippus nigrocoerulea, n. sp. 
Black, closely covered with greyish pubescence; lower part 
of face fulvous; above obscure metallic blackish blue; thorax
