Pseudoides, n. gen. 



Sub-elongate, parallel, the antennae and palpi subfiliform , 

 the third and two following joints of the antennae nearly equal; 

 thorax transverse without depression, scutellum broader than 

 long , elytra semi-regularly punctured , their epipleurae broad 

 and concave anteriorly, continued below the middle and placed 

 inwards, legs rather robust, the posterior tibiae with a minute 

 spine , the first joint of the posterior tarsi as long as the 

 following two joints together, the anterior coxal cavities open ; 

 presternum extremely narrow but distinct, claws appendicu- 

 late. 



I am obliged to propose this genus for the reception of a 

 small species having somewhat the general appearance of a 

 Luperus; the structural characters of the species agree nearly 

 with the group Agelastinae of Chapuis, but the structure of the 

 elytral epipleurae , the inner margin of which is placed within 

 the elytra as is the case with Oides, will separate the genus 

 from any other belonging to this division. 



133. I*seix<ioi<ies Ibivittata, n. sp. 



Testaceous, the base of the head and the terminal joints of 

 the antennae black ; thorax very minutely and sparingly punc- 

 tured, elytra strongly punctate-striate , the interstices finely 

 punctured, the suture and a longitudinal band at the disc, joining 

 the suture before the apex, black. 



Var. The disc of the elytra nearly entirely black. 



Length 1 Yg line. 



Head impunctate, the vertex black, the lower portion testa- 

 ceous , the frontal elevations nearly obsolete , the apex of the 

 mandibles black, the antennae rather short, only extending just? 

 beyond the base of the elytra, the 4 or 5 basal joints testaceous, 

 the others black, the third and the following two joints about 

 one half longer than the second one, the terminal five joints
