Feronia diques: length 10’-11’; very nearly allied to 
Ducalis and of the same brilliant colour, but the thorax is 
of the same form as Comes; elytra more oval than in the

Feronia Guppsiensis: length 10’-12’; of a shiny black, 
sometimes with a copper tinge ; head oval, with the front 
impressions elongated ; thorax not much wider than broad ; 
sub-cordiform, with the angles rounded ; the front transverse
