568 MR. M. JACOBY ON NEW [NoV. I, 



Pheloticus (?) ^NEicoLLis, n. sp. (Plate XXXIX. fig. 4.) 



Below obscure aeneous, tlie abdomen fulvous, the head and 

 thorax greenish aeneous, nearly impunctate, antennae fulvous; elytra 

 flavous, strongly punctate-striate, the sutural and lateral margin 

 and a discoidal longitudinal stripe, not extending to the apex, 

 greenish aeneous. 



Length 1| line. 



Head finely and distantly punctured, metalhc aeneous; eyes rather 

 broadly emarginate, surrounded by a very narrow sulcus which 

 extends downwards to the epistome, which is separated from the 

 face by another transverse groove; cljpeus broadly subquadrate, 

 impunctate, labrum fulvous ; antennae "filiform, extending to about 

 half the length of the elytra, pale fulvous, the apex of the terminal 

 joint black, the third joint distinctly shorter than the fourth, the 

 terminal joints slightly thicker ; thorax twice as broad as long, the 

 sides rounded, narrowed towards the apex, narrowly margined, 

 the anterior portion rather strongly deflexed, the surface very 

 sparingly punctured,, metallic greenish aeneous ; scutellum tri- 

 angular, fulvous, its apex aeneous ; elytra subcylindrical, slightly 

 broader at the base than the thorax, with a shallow depression below 

 the base, fulvous, strongly punctate-striate, the punctures nearly 

 disappearing at the apex, the sutural margin narrowly, the lateral 

 one more broadly greenish aeneous ; a longitudinal stripe, angulate at 

 its middle, extends from the middle of the base to some distance 

 before the apex, the inner margin of this stripe is deeply concave at 

 the angulate portion ; breast aeneous ; abdomen more or less fulvous ; 

 legs flavous, the femora with a very minute tooth, the claws appen- 

 diculate, the inner division rather long and acute, the prosternum 

 broadly subquadrate, the anterior thoracic episternum convex. 



This species, which I have only provisionally placed in Pheloticus, 

 has the general appearance and shape of a species of Rhyparida and 

 does not quite agree with any genus described under the group of 

 Typophorince, to which it undoubtedly belongs ; the supra-ocular 

 sulcus is very narrow and placed close tg the inner margin of the 

 eyes, while the claws may almost be called bifid ; in one specimen, 

 probably the female, the thorax is still broader and subangulate at 

 the sides, and the femora and knees are stained with piceous. 



Pheloticus (?) bifasciattjs, n. sp. (Plate XXXIX. fig. 3.) 



Fulvous or obscure piceous, the head and thorax greenish, the 

 latter remotely but strongly punctured ; elytra strongly punctate- 

 striate, fulvous ; the sutnre narrowly, the lateral margin broadly, and 

 a straight discoidal stripe abbreviated before the apex, metallic 

 green. 



Length \\ line. 



Of the same shape as the preceding species and of similar structure ; 

 the antennae entirely pale fulvous, the thorax distinctly but not 

 closely punctured on the disc ; the elytra without a basal depression, 

 and with a broad and regular-shaped discoidal stripe, pointed at its
