Head with vertex closely and strongly punctate, the punctures 

 more crowded towards the sides, leaving the middle comparatively 

 free, and with a depression in the centre; frontal tubercles 

 obliquely placed, impunctate, interantennal carina sharp. Antennae 

 slender, extending a little distance beyond the middle of the 

 elytra; first segment long and club-shaped, second very short, 

 third about twice as long as second, fourth longer than third, 

 fifth, sixth and seventh equal ; the following four segments 

 somewhat shorter than each of tbe immediately preceding ones, 

 and equal to each other. Prothorax about twice as broad as 

 long, somewhat narrowed in front, frout margin widely emar- 

 ginate, anterior lateral angles rounded, sides gently rounded, 

 lateral margins somewhat explanate and reflexed ; surface ex- 

 tremely finely and closely punctate, and on the background of 

 these fine punctures there are scattered coarser punctures. 

 Scutellum large, triangular, with surface impunctate. Elytra 

 somewhat broader at base than prothorax ; humerus prominent, 

 convex ; lateral margins slightly explanate ; punctuation similar 

 to that of the pronotum, but the coarser punctures are closer and 

 somewhat stronger. Underside : sides of the breast, abdominal 

 sternites, and legs covered with fine hairs. 



Length, 5^ mm.; breadth, 3| mm.

303. Sebsethe pyrobapta, sp. nov. 



Body oblong-ovate. Colour above deep red-brown with a 

 purplish-bronzy sheen; underside comparatively lighter brown, 

 with the apex of the posterior femora blackish ; antennae, except 

 the three basal segments, blackish. 



Head strongly and closely punctate, with a transverse impressed 

 line across the interocular space, in the middle of which is a 

 shallow depression ; frontal tubercles obliquely placed, inter- 

 antennai carina sharp. Antennae long, almost extending to the 

 apex of the elytra ; first segment long and club-shaped, second 

 much shorter, third almost twice as long as second, fourth slightly 

 longer than third ; the following segments more or less nearly 

 equal to each other. Prothorax about twice as broad as long, 

 somewhat narrowed in front, sides very gently rounded, lateral 

 margins expanded and reflexed, anterior lateral angles acute ; 

 surface very finely and rather closely punctate, the punctures 

 being a mixture of finer and comparatively coarser. Scutellum 

 triangular, with the surface impunctate. Elytra hardly broader at 

 base than prothorax, anterior lateral angles rounded, humerus 

 prominent and convex, lateral margins slightly explanate ; surface 

 closely and confusedly punctate, the punctures being much 

 stronger than those of the pronotum, while besides this the whole 

 surface has a fine rugulosity. Underside thinly covered with 

 fiue hairs.
