286 Mr. J. S. Baly's descriptions of new genera 



crebre punctato, utrinque basi leviter impresso; elytris 

 regulariter punctato-striatis, interspatiis planis, tenuiter 

 punctatis. 



Long. 3^ lin. Hah. — New Guinea. 



Head trigonate, not longer than broad; vertex irregu- 

 larly punctured; front impressed on either side by a 

 deep groove, which, running along the upper and inner 

 border of the eye, curves inwardly just before reaching the 

 middle of the latter, and runs almost directly inwards to 

 the apex of the carina; encarpse well-defined, oblique, 

 oblong, separated from each other by the extreme apex of 

 the carina; the latter compressed and strongly raised 

 anteriorly, dilated and flattened towards the apex, its 

 upper half trapezoidal ; antenna rather more than half 

 the length of the body, filiform, fulvous, slightly stained 

 with fuscous towards the apex. Thorax three times as 

 broad as long; sides rounded and converging fi^om base 

 to apex, more quickly converging before the middle, 

 anterior angles obtuse; basal margin bisinuate on either 

 side, the medial lobe very broadly and obtusely rounded ; 

 upper surface rather closely punctured, impressed on 

 either side at the base with a distinct fovea. Elytra 

 rather broader than the thorax, regularly punctate-striate, 

 the puncturing much finer towards the apex ; interspaces 

 plane, finely punctured. Hinder thighs strongly thick- 

 ened ; hinder tibise equal in length to the thighs, slightly 

 incurved, the outer surface bicanaliculate. 



Genus PsEUDODERA, Baly. 

 Pseudodera orientalis. 



Elongata, parallela, convexa, rufo-picea, nitida, pedibus 

 obscure piceis, abdomine rufo-fulvo ; antennis nigris ; ely- 

 tris fortiter punctato-striatis, basi nigris, medio fascia 

 lata flavi instructis, pone fasciam obscure rufo-piceis. 



Long. 4 lin. Hah. — Bengal. 



Vertex convex, smooth, minutely punctured on either 

 side above the eye ; antennas two-thirds the length of the 

 body, the apex of the basal joint pale rufo-piceous. 

 Thorax rather broader than long ; sides slightly diverging 

 from the base to beyond the middle, thence rounded and 

 converging to the apex ; above moderately convex, very 

 distantly impressed with fine punctures; basal groove 

 short, deeply impressed, divided medially by a short Ion-
