﻿THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Temnaspis humeralis, n. sp. (Plate I. fig. 3). 



Black, sparingly pubescent ; thorax impunctate, with a tubercle at the 

 posterior angles ; elytra flavous, finely punctured, the shoulders with a 

 black spot ; abdomen and a spot on the posterior femora, flavous. Length, 

 5 lines. 



Head broad, impunctate, black, with a deep fovea between the eyes ; 

 antennae scarcely extending beyond the base of the thorax, black, the four 

 basal joints shining, the rest opaque, transversely widened ; thorax deeply 

 transversely sulcate behind the anterior margin, with an acute lateral 

 tubercle near the base, the surface smooth, shining, black, furnished with 

 single erect black hairs ; scutellum black, its apex slightly emarginate ; 

 elytra finely and not very closely punctured and sparingly clothed with black 

 hairs, flavous, with a black spot placed on the humeral callus ; underside and 

 legs black, the metasternum with two triangular raised elevations ; abdomen 

 flavous ; the posterior femora with an acute tooth near the apex, the latter 

 flavous. 



A single specimen. 



Gynandrophthalma l^vicollis, n. sp. 



Black ; the head, thorax, scutellum and legs fulvous ; elytra black ; 

 thorax impunctate, elytra closely punctured. Length, 1| fines. 



Head smooth, impunctate ; antennae black, the lower four joints fulvous ; 

 thorax two and a half times broader than long, the sides rounded, widened 

 towards the base, very narrowly margined, the surface impunctate fulvous, the 

 posterior margin slightly produced and broadly rounded at the middle ; 

 scutellum broad, strongly pointed at the apex, the surface fulvous, impunctate ; 

 elytra parallel, black, closely punctured, the punctuation somewhat regularly 

 arrranged in rows, the lateral margin but slightly produced below the 

 shoulders ; under side black (with the exception of the anterior portion of 

 the breast), finely clothed with greyish hairs ; legs fulvous ; the first joint of 

 the posterior tarsi scarcely as long as the two following joints together. 



Of this species, principally distinguished from its congeners 

 by the fulvous head and the black elytra, many specimens were 

 obtained. 



Gynandrophthalma edlveola, n. sp. 



Entirely pale fulvous ; apical joints of the antennae fuscous ; head and 

 thorax impunctate ; elytra finely and subregularly punctured, the apex 

 nearly impunctate. Length, 1\ line. 



Head with a rather deep rounded fovea between the eyes, impunctate, 

 the anterior margin of the epistome deeply concave-emarginate ; labrum 

 more or less black ; antennae not extending beyond the thorax, the lower 

 four joints fulvous, the rest nearly black ; thorax transverse, more than 

 twice as broad as long in the male, the sides strongly rounded and widened 

 at the base, the basal lobe scarcely produced, the surface entirely impunctate ; 

 scutellum triangular, acutely pointed ; elytra moderately closely but finely 

 punctured, the punctures semi-regularly arranged in rows, gradually dimi- 

 nishing towards the apex, the latter nearly impunctate under side and legs 

 fulvous, finely pubescent. 



Many specimens. 



G. fulveola may be known by the entirely unicolorous fulvous 

 colour, the impunctate head and thorax in connection with its 

 small size.
