7t) MR. M. JACOBY ON THE [Feb. 1, 



surface very finely and sparingly punctured, rufous, with a small 

 obscure piceous spot at the sides. Elytra with a distiuct transverse 

 depression below the base, the punctured striae very distinct 

 anteriorly, less so posteriorly ; each elytron with a square-shaped 

 black spot at the shoulder, a triangular one near the apex, and a 

 common sutural elongate spot near the middle ; sides of the breast 

 and the legs black ; all the femora with a small tooth ; claws bifid. 



Dikoya. 



A single specimen. 



NODOSTOMA BITTJBERCULATUM, Sp. nOV. 



Testaceous ; the terminal joints of the antennae black ; thorax 

 strongly and closely punctured, angulate below the middle ; elytra 

 strongly punctate-striate anteriorly, each elytron with two tubercles 

 placed at the shoulders. 



Length 1 line. 



Head very strongly and remotely punctured ; the epistome not 

 separated from the front. Antennae nearly as long r.s the body ; the 

 second joint not much shorter than the first, the fourth joint slightly 

 longer than the third. Thorax twice as broad as long, narrowed in 

 front, the sides angulate near the base ; the surface strongly and 

 closely rugose-punctate, without an anterior transverse groove. 

 Elytra very slightly depressed below the base, the punctuation 

 almost entirely absent near the apices ; the humeral callus in shape 

 of an elongate tubercle, which is followed immediately below by 

 another smaller tubercle, the space between these latter and the 

 lateral margins deeply depressed ; underside of a more fulvous tint ; 

 femora with a minute tooth. 



Dikoya. 



The small size, closely and strongly rugose thorax, and the lateral 

 tubercles of the elytra will help to separate the present species from 

 its many congeners. 



NoDOSTOMA BIPUNCTATUM, Sp. nOV. 



Testaceous ; thorax angulate at tbe sides, finely punctured ; 

 elytra indistinctly punctured below the middle, the sutural and 

 lateral margins and a spot below the base on each elytron black. 



Var. Elytra entirely black. 



Length 2 lines. 



Head with a few fine punctures between the eyes ; the epistome 

 not separated from the face ; eyes distinctly sinuate. Antennae 

 slender and filiform, the apical joints not thickened, testaceous, the 

 fourth joint distinctly longer than the third. Thorax short, narrowly 

 transverse, greatly widened towards the base, the sides subangulate 

 close to the latter ; the surface with a narrow transverse groove in 

 front of the anterior margin, rather closely and finely punctured. 

 Scutellum obscure fulvous or piceous; its apex broadly rounded. 

 Elytra with a deep depression below the base, distinctly punctured 

 above this depression only, the rest of the surface obsoletely punctate, 

 the interstices very slightly raised ; the sutural and lateral margins
