Elytra slightly wider than the thorax and three times the length, 

 rather square at the humeral angles, not ampliate behind, striate, 

 the interstices nearly flat, the short basal stria about twice the 

 length of the scutellum and not running into the first stria, with a 

 narrow sutural vitta not quite reaching the scutellum, a somewhat 

 transverse spot near the humeral angles, and a longish spot near 

 the apical angle, of a deep red. Legs yellow, thighs moderately 

 dilated, the anterior four tarsi considerably enlarged. 

 Long. 3 lines, lat. 1 line. 



84. Hypharpax varus, n.sp. 



Oblong-ovate, sub-convex, black, very nitid. Head rather 

 obtuse, smooth, a deep punctiform impression on each side between 

 the eyes, antennae piceous, the second joint half as long as the 

 third. Thorax with a faint greenish lustre, wider than the head 

 and wider than long, the sides a little rounded and thickly mar- 

 gined, the base truncate and slightly wider than the apex, the 

 posterior angles nearly rectangular, the basal impressions in the 

 form of deep rounded fovese, connected by a light transverse 

 depression. Elytra rather wider than the thorax, and not three 

 times the length, less nitid than the thorax and with a slight purplish 

 hue, striate, the striae near the base very profound, the interstices 

 flat, a very short deep stria extending diagonally from the base of 

 the second stria. Legs piceous, posterior thighs short, much 

 swollen and curved, emarginate and toothed beneath, the tibiae 

 also much curved, the tarsi of the anterior legs of the male 

 broadly dilated, those of the intermediate legs less so. 



Long. 5 lines, lat. If line. 



85. Hypharpax opacipennis, n.sp. 



Differs from the last species in having the thorax a little more 

 green, the posterior angles more obtuse, the basal impressions 

 very light, and the median line more distinct. The elytra are 

 subsericeous and opaque, the striae liner than in H. varus, the 

 interstices more flat, and the short stria from the base of the
