566 MR. M. JACOBY ON NEW [NoV. 1, 



Allied to L. anea, Lac, but of different coloration, and distin- 

 guished by the very short antennae and the sculpture of the elytra. 



Cryptocephalus scutellatus, n. sp. 



Robust, broad, black, above fulvous, head finely strigose, thorax 

 impunctate, scutellum black; elytra strongly and regularly punctate- 

 striate, a spot on the shoulder and the extreme basal and sutural 

 margins black. 



Length 2i-3| lines. 



Head finely strigose-punctate, fulvous ; the eyes large, but slightly 

 indented ; the antennae two-thirds the length of the body, black, the 

 lower four joints fulvous, the third and fourth joints equal; thorax 

 proportionately long, strongly narrowed anteriorly, the sides nearly 

 straight, strongly deflexed, the surface entirely impunctate, the 

 posterior margin finely dentate, narrowly black, the median lobe 

 toothed, bisinuate ; scutellum one half longer than broad, black, 

 shining, its apex broadly rounded ; elytra not wider at the base 

 than the thorax, fulvous, with deep and regular rows of punctures, 

 of which the five inner ones do not extend to the base, the first 

 and second rows are very short and joined at the apex, the sixth 

 and seventh rows are also abbreviated at some distance before the 

 apex ; a small black spot is placed on the shoulders, the extreme 

 basal and sutural margins are likewise of that colour ; under- 

 side and pygidium black, clothed with long yellowish pubescence ; 

 the prosternum ends in a blunt projection in the male, but is 

 broadly truncate in the female. 



Three specimens are contained in my collection. 



Cryptocephalus dohrni, d. sp. (Plate XXXIX. fig. 1.) 



Black, thickly pubescent below, the thorax and legs fulvous, the 

 former finely punctate; elytra metallic green, strongly punctate- 

 striate, the interstices finely transversely rugose ; tarsi black. 



Length 2\ lines. 



Rather broad and robust, the head closely punctured, greenish 

 black, the space between the eyes clothed with greyish pubescence ; 

 the antennae extending scarcely to half the length of the elytra, 

 black, the basal joint fulvous, the sixth and following joints slightly 

 widened ; thorax twice and a half broader than long, the sides 

 rather strongly deflexed, the lateral margin shghtly rounded, the 

 surface opaque, fulvous, very minutely and closely punctured ; 

 scutellum black, not longer than broad, its apex truncate, the base 

 with a fovea ; elytra parallel, pale green, distinctly punctate-striate, 

 the interstices very finely transversely rugose and sparingly clothed 

 with short silvery pubescence ; underside densely pubescent, black, 

 as also the tarsi, the legs fulvous, the last abdominal segment with 

 a deep round fovea ; prosternum broad, flat, densely clothed with 

 greyish pubescence. 



The elytra in this species, of which I received a single specimen, 

 are but slightlv metallic and have a silky appearance on account of 

 the fine pubescence and rugose or finely wrinkled interstices.
