Genus SPHiEUODERMA, Steplieiis. 

 Sphceroderma ornata. 



Ovato-rotundata, convexa, picea, nitida, femoribus, 

 capite tlioraceque piceo-fulvis, hoc \m\\, basi infuscato ; 

 oculis antennisque (his basi fulva articuloque ultimo albido 

 .exceptis) nigris; elytris tenuissime punctatis, utrisque 

 maculis duabus, una basali transversa, altera apicali ovata, 

 flavis ornatis. 



L/ong. 2 lin. 



iir«6.— Cambodia. 



Vertex smooth, irapunctate ; encarpre well defined, con- 

 tiguous, subrotundate ; carina obsolete ; antennee two- 

 thirds the length of the body, four lower joints obscure 

 fulvous, the rest black. Thorax nearly three times as 

 broad as long: sides rounded, scarcely converging at the 

 apex, the anterior angle broadly obtuse, thickened, hinder 

 angle nearly rectangular ; basal margin oblique and faintly 

 sinuate on either side the middle, the latter obtusely 

 rounded. Scutellum trigonate. Elytra broadly ovate, 

 convex, very finely punctured ; each with two large fulvous 

 patches, the first transverse, basal, occupying the upper 

 fourth of the elytron, but not touching either the base 

 itself or the external or lateral margins, the other oblong- 

 ovate, perpendicular, apical, but separated from the apical 

 margin by a narrow piceous line. 



Spharoderma apicipennis. 



Rotundato-ovata, valde convexa, picea, nitida, capite 

 tlioraceque obscure rufis, labro antennisque nigris, his basi 

 rufo-fulvis ; elytris substriatim punctatis, nigris, apice rufis.

Head short, trigonate, vertex smooth, impunctate; 

 encarpEe subquadrangular, slightly oblique, their apices 

 contiguous ; carina slightly raised, its apex acute, extend- 

 ing upwards between the encarpse nearly to their whole 

 length ; antenna two-thirds the length of the body, robust, 

 slightly but distinctly thickened towards the apex, five 

 lower joints pale rufo-testaceous, the rest black ; eyes large, 

 rotundate-ovate. Thorax nearly three times as broad as 

 long at the base, basal margin oblique and bisinuate on 

 either side, the medial lobe slightly produced, obtusely
