punctate-striate, the interstices more or less convex, very sparingly 

 and finely punctured, below and the legs fulvous, the femora with a 

 minute but acute tooth, the tibise simple, emarginate at the apex, 

 claws bifid. 



Hah. Diego Suarez. 



Allied to R. dimidiaticornis Jac. but in that species the thorax is 

 strongly punctured and of différent shape, the antennse are diffe- 

 rently coloured and the femora are unarmed. 



RHEMBASTUS RUGIGOLLIS n. sp. 



Piceous, the antennae and the legs fulvous, thorax rugosely punc- 

 tured, obscure seneous, elytra strongly punctate-striate, the inter- 

 stices longitudinally costate, fulvous, the suture, the latéral margins 

 and a longitudinal band below the middle as well as the anterior 

 portion of each elytron, obscure dark seneous; femora with a 

 minute tooth. 



Length 5 mill. 



Head remotely but strongly punctured, dark seneous, the epis- 

 tome not separated from the face, eyes large, slightly notched at 

 their lower portion, antennse fulvous, the second joint thickened, 

 one half shorter than the third, terminal joints slightly widened; 

 thorax scarcely twice as broad as long, narrowed anteriorly, the 

 sides straight, the surface strongly punctured, with the interstices 

 more or less rugose, scutellum black, elytra deeply punctate-striate, 

 the punctures closely placed in deep strise, the interstices strongly 

 costate and minutely punctured, piceous, with a slight aeneous 

 gloss, extending downwards from the middle in shape of a stripe 

 which interrupts the pale fulvous ground colour, the humerai 

 callus likewise fulvous; below and the legs fulvous, ail the femora 

 with a small tooth. 



Hah. Diego Suarez. 



If the dark colour is taken for that of the ground, the elytra may 

 be described as with a fulvous subsutural and sublateral band from 

 the middle to the apex; the species is allied to jR. costatiis Jac. 

 (Novitat. Zoolog., vol. I) but differs in the rugosely punctured tho- 

 rax and the differently coloured elytra, also in the entirely flavous 

 colour of the antennse. Two exactly similar spécimens are before 

 me. 



PHELOTIGUS SULGATIPENNIS nov. sp. 



Obscure fuscous-violaceous, the antennse and the tarsi fulvous, 

 thorax remotely and strongly punctured, elytra deeply punctate- 

 striate, the interstices strongly longitudinally convex. 



Length 6 mill.
