936 MARTIN JACOBY 



Of broadly rounded shape, the head black, depressed between 

 the eyes, the antennae very short, nine-jointed, the three basal 

 and part of the fourth joint flavous, the rest black, the last 

 6 joints broadly flattened and dilated; thorax transverse, widened 

 at the middle, impressed with very minute punctures like the 

 head, the sides straight, strongly narrowed in front; scutellum 

 testaceous ; elytra punctured like the thorax, piceous, the lateral 

 and apical margin rather broadly fulvous ; underside and legs 

 testaceous, the apex of the posterior femora with a black spot. 



Palon, September. A single specimen. 



91. Hypliasis distiixcta, n. sp. 



Broadly ovate, pale testaceous, the antennae (the basal joints 

 excepted) fuscous, thorax finely and sparingly punctured, elytra 

 strongly and closely punctured. 



Length 3 V2 lines. 



Head impunctate, frontal elevations broadly transverse, anten- 

 nae scarcely extending to the middle of the elytra, fuscous, the 

 lower three joints testaceous, the third and fourth joints equal; 

 thorax about twice and a half broader than long , the sides 

 strongly rounded, with a flattened margin, the anterior angles 

 produced outwards, the disc rather convex, not perceptibly punc- 

 tured; elytra broadly ovate, closely and rather strongly punctured, 

 the punctures raised ; underside and legs coloured as above, the 

 metatarsus of the posterior legs as long as the following three 

 joints together. 



Garin Gheba. A single specimen. 



Distinct from H. nigricornis, Baly by the equal length of the 

 third and fourth joints of the antennae and the strongly rounded 

 not straight sides of the thorax, from H. unicolore Jac. and 

 //. inoniata^ Jac. by the distinct elytral punctuation and rounded 

 sides of the thorax; whether the convexity or raised appearance 

 of the elytral punctures is accidental or peculiar to this species 

 I cannot say.
