Paeacamenta bohemani, Brensk., 

 Berl. Entom. Zeit., 1897, p. 339. 



Testaceous-red, with the head, but not the clypeus, slightly 

 fuscous ; the clypeus is slightly sinuate laterally near the base, 

 parallel for half the length, slightly angular near the rounded 

 lateral part, and has a transverse median keel situated at about one- 

 third of the length, the space below this keel is punctulate but not 

 closely so, and there is a median smooth space, but the space 

 between this keel and the suture is as closely punctured as the 

 head itself, and clothed with somewhat sparse erect hairs forming 

 a denser fringe along the keel, antennal club of male long, curved, 

 the inner joint slightly shorter than the one following, eyes large, 

 strongly bulging ; prothorax fringed laterally and also on the sides 

 of the anterior margin with long, sub-fulvous hairs, covered with 

 fine, round punctures separated by an interval equal to their own 

 diameter, hairy in the basal part above the scutellum which is finely 

 punctulate in the centre ; elytra fringed laterally with somewhat 

 dense long hairs, slightly ampliated from beyond the humeral part, 

 but not appreciably sinuate, covered with deep, round punctures 

 separated by smooth intervals slightly broader in diameter than the 

 punctures themselves, the two dorsal costules are very plain on each 

 side, and the lateral ones are distinct ; pygidium vaguely punctate 

 and with a fringe of long hairs along the margin ; abdominal segments 

 with a fringe of somewhat setulose hairs, femora and pectus densely 

 hairy. 



Length 12 mm. ; width 6J- mm.

Paracamenta conspicua, n. spec. 



Chestnut-brown, head very slightly infuscate, palpi and antennas 

 rufescent ; clypeus in nowise angular laterally, but as usual slightly 

 narrowed near the base, anterior margin straight in the median part, 

 the anterior part of the clypeus is partly hollowed, partly declivous, 

 .and almost impunctate, but the still more abrupt anterior part is 

 scrobiculato-punctate, each puncture bearing a long, erect, almost 

 bristle-like flavescent hair, head plane, closely punctulate, hairless ; 

 prothorax finely punctured but with the punctures separated by a 

 smooth interval of the same width as their diameter, broadly sinuate 

 on each side at the base, fringed with long hairs ; scutellum impunc- 

 tate ; elytra deeply punctured with the narrow intervals slightly 

 raised in the posterior part, the dorsal costules are plainly visible,
