humeral angle, and another larger near the apex and towards the 

 sides of each elytron, of a pale yellow. Legs pale yellow; antennae 

 brownish, the first two joints paler. 

 Long. 2 lines, lat. | line. 



93. ACUPA.LPUS BIMACULATUS, n.Sp. 



This species exactly resembles the preceding, differing only in 

 being a little less nitid, in the much finer striation of the elytra, 

 the flatter interstices, and in wanting the humeral spot. 



Long. 2J lines, lat. f line. 



There are a few other Flarpalides in the collection, single 

 specimens, which I cannot well make out without sacrificing the 

 insects. 



Sub-Family FERONIDES.

 Mast. Cat. Col. Sp. 760. 



95. Cratogaster occidentalis, n.sp. 



Of more elongate form than Cratogaster sulcatus, Blanc'i., black, 

 nitid. Head not longer than wide not including the lab rum, that 

 emarginate, a deep impression on each side between the eyes, the 

 anterior angles of the head almost acutely prominent. Thorax much 

 wider than the head, nearly as long as wide, sub-convex, anterior 

 angles slightly pi-ominent, sides rounded with a thick recurved 

 margin, the posterior angles obtuse, the base about the same width 

 as the apex, the median line deep, the basal impressions deep, 

 linear, about one-third of the length of the thorax, and a short 

 deep linear impression close to the posterior angles on each side. 

 Elytra wider than the thorax, and rather over twice the length, 

 convex, the humeral angles sub-acute, deeply striate, the intez'- 

 stices smooth and convex. Beneath and the legs nitid, a transverse 

 line aci'oss the abdominal segments close to the hind margin. 



Long. 8 lines, lat. 2| lines.
