76. DiAPHOROMERUS MULTIPUNCTATUS, n.Sp. 



EloDgate-ovate, nitid ; head and thorax black ; elytra brownish- 

 sericeous; the antennae, palpi, and legs more or less pale testaceous. 

 The head resembles that of the last two species ; the labrum is 

 piceous, the first joint of the antennae paler than the others. 

 Thorax slightly wider than long, and slightly wider at the base 

 than tlie apex, the angles and the sides a little rounded, the 

 median line lightly, and the basal impressions deeply marked. 

 The elytra are very slightly wider than the thorax and very 

 slightly rounded on the sides, and are of semi-opaque faintly 

 silky-brown appearance, striate, the interstices flat, the short 

 basal stria not running into either the first or second sti-ia, a 

 series of about ten deep punctures on the third stria or second 

 interstice extending from base to apex, and about six on the 

 fifth stria, on the posterior two-thirds. The legs are rather 

 strongly hairy, the four first joints of the four anterior tarsi of 

 the male dilated, but not so broadly as in the foregoing species. 



Long. 3 lines, lat. I5 line. 



77. DiAPHOROMERUS SULCATULUS, n.Sp. 



Elongate-ovate, black, moderately nitid. Head smooth, sub- 

 convex, clypeal suture distinctly marked, clypeus rather longer than 

 usual in the genus and slightly emarginate, the palpi and antennae 

 ferruginous, the first joint of the latter paler than the rest. 

 Thorax rather transverse, with the base wider than the apex, the 

 sides a little rounded, the angles sub-obtuse, and the discal im- 

 pressions very shallow. The elytra ai'e slightly inclined to widen 

 from the base and are slightly wider than the thorax, deeply 

 striate, the interstices smooth, and sub-costate, the short basal 

 stria of the usual length, and not extending into either the first or 

 second stria, with about four small punctures on the third 

 interstice commencing about the anterior fourth ; scarcely any 

 eraargination at the apex. Beneath black, legs piceous. A 

 female specimen. 



Long. 5 lines, lat. 2 lines.
