Macrosternus, viz. Lafertet, Mars., and its thoracic fossettes 
for the receptiom of the antennal club are entirely open below. 
Eblisia obliqua, sp. n. 
Oblongo-ovata, parum convexa, nigra, nitida; pronoto stria laterali 
integra a margine haud distante; elytris striis dorsalibus 1-3 
integris, 4-5 brevibus; pygidio utrinque oblique sulcato ; tibiis 
anticis 4-dentatis. 
L. 3 mill. 
Oblong-oval, somewhat convex, black and shining; the 
head, frontal stria fine, complete, and straight anteriorly; the 
thorax impunctate, lateral stria parallel to the margin, with a 
narrow interstice and continuing behind the head; the elytra, 
strie 1-3 dorsal complete, 4 apical and dimidiate, 5 a little 
longer than the fourth, sutural and two humeral wanting, but 
the oblique basal is feebly represented; the propygidium has 
a broad transverse band of punctures which leaves the base 
almost smooth ; the pygidium has two deep oblique furrows, 
one on either side behind the lateral angles, on the area be- 
tween the furrows the punctuation is smaller and less close 
than that of the propygidium and its apex is microscopically 
punetured only; the prosternum is without striz; the meso- 
sternum is emarginate and has acomplete stria, which is only 
marginal in the middle as it passes obliquely along the lateral 
border, within the anterior angles on either side there is a 
short sinuous stria; the metasternum has a very faint median 
channel; the anterior tibiz are 4-dentate. 
The narrow interstice to the thoracic margin distinguishes 
this species from . lunaticus, Mars., and others. 
Hab. Port Moresby, New Guinea. 
Ebhsia pulsata, sp. n. 
Ovalis, parum convexa, nigra, nitida; pronoto stria laterali integra, 
interstitiis angustatis ; elytris striis 1-3 integris, 4-5 breyibus ; 
propygidio punctato ; tibiis anticis 4-dentatis. 
L. 32 mill. 
Oval, somewhat convex, black and shining ; the head, 
frontal stria well marked, complete, and slightly sinuous 
anteriorly ; the thorax impunctate, lateral stria complete, 
parallel, close to the margin, and continued behind the head ; 
the elytra, striz 1-3 complete, 4 apical and not quite dimidiate, 
5 stightly longer, the sutural and the humeral striz (except 
the oblique stria which is extremely fine) are wanting; the 
propygidium is distinctly punctate, points somewhat large
