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



Hemyloticus geniculatus, n. sp. (Plate XXXIX. fig. 6.) 



Reddish fulvous ; the antennae (the basal joints excepted), the 

 knees, apex of the tibiae, and the tarsi black ; thorax very sparingly 

 punctured ; elytra finely punctate-striate. 



Length 3 lines. 



Head with a few fine punctures ; the epistome broad, subquadrate, 

 scarcely separated from the front ; mandibles black ; antennse 

 slender, filiform, the lower three joints fulvous, the rest black, the 

 fourth joint slightly longer than the third ; thorax about one half 

 broader than long, the sides rounded, the anterior margin straight, 

 the surface rather convex, with a few fine punctures ; elytra much 

 broader at the base than the thorax, without basal depression, very 

 finely punctate-striate, fulvous and shining like the rest of the upper 

 surface ; underside coloured as above ; the knees, the apex of the 

 tibiae, and the tarsi black. 



A single specimen is contained in my collection. 



NiSOTRA NIGRITARSIS, n. Sp. 



Oblong-ovate, dark fulvous, the antennae (the basal three joints 

 excepted) and the tarsi black ; head and thorax nearly impunctate, 

 the latter with four longitudinal grooves ; elytra extremely finely 

 and closely punctured. 



Length 2g lines. 



Head impunctate, transversely grooved between the eyes, the frontal 

 elevations but shghtly raised ; palpi slender ; antennae extending 

 a little beyond the base of the elytra, black, the basal three joints 

 fulvous, the second and third joints of equal length; thorax twice 

 as broad as long, the sides rounded, the angles acute, the disc with 

 a few scarcely perceptible punctures, the anterior and posterior 

 margins with a short perpendicular groove at each side ; elytra 

 widened towards the middle, the shoulders slightly prominent, the 

 surface extremely finely and closely punctured ; underside and legs 

 fulvous, the tarsi black. 



This species seems allied to N. spadicea, Dalm., but differs in the 

 extremely fine and not geminately-arranged punctation of the elytra 

 and in the black tarsi and larger general size. 



NiSOTRA KLUGII, n. Sp. 



Black; the head, thorax, the anterior legs, and the posterior 

 tibiae fulvous ; elytra metallic green or purplish, very closely and 

 finely punctured ; antennae fulvous or with the last three joints black. 



Length 2| lines. 



Head iii) punctate, the frontal tubercles small, clypeus thickened ; 

 the antennae extending a httle beyond the base of the elytra, 

 fulvous, the last three joints black, the third and fourth joints 

 equal, the terminal ones thickened ; thorax twice as broad as long, 

 fulvous, the sides slightly rounded, the surface extremely finely and 

 closely punctured, the anterior and posterior margins with a very 

 short and indistinct longitudinal depression near the sides; scu-
