283. Diapromorpha obscuromaculata, sp. n. 
Obscure dark fulvous ; bead, the basal portion of the thorax, the 
underside and legs black ; elytra with a humeral spot and a trans- 
verse band behind the middle black. 
Broad and robust. The head very minutely punctured, a band 
of short pubescence in front of the eyes ; clypeus feebly emarginate ; 
palpi fulvous ; antenna? with the basal four joints fulvous, the 
succeeding five blackish, strongly transversely serrate, the rest in 
the type and only specimen wanting. Thorax more than twice as 
broad as long, narrowed anteriorly, the sides strongly deflexed, lateral 
margins feebly rounded, median lobe very short ; surface with an 
oblique depression at each side, the interior of which is distinctly 
punctured, other punctures placed near the basal margin, the 
basal portion black, this colour in shape as of a transverse band, 
widened at each side, rest of the surface dark, fulvous. Scutellum 
black. Elytra narrowed posteriorly, very closely and rather finely 
punctured ; the humeral lobes very prominent ; the transverse 
band rather broad, not quite extending to either margin. Body 
beneath closely pubescent. 
Length 8 mm.

As in B. burmanica the obscureness of the markings and darkness 
of the ground-colour in the specimen before me is probably caused 
by discoloration. 
284. Diapromorpha pingnis, Lacord. Mon. Phytoph. ii, 1848, p. 234. 
Black ; thorax with a subquadrate fiavous patch at anterior 
angles ; elytra fiavous, a transverse band before and another 
behind the middle, black. 
<5 . Short, cylindrical and robust. Head finely rugose and pubes- 
cent between the eyes, a transverse sinuate groove below vertex, 
the latter finely punctured and convex ; 
antenna? slightly shorter than the thorax, 
second and third joints fulvous. Thorax 
about twice as broad as long, subcylindrical, 
slightly narrowed in front, feebly rounded 
at the sides, basal margin straight, median 
lobe short and truncate ; surface entirely 
impunctate, the black colour extends in 
shape of a transverse band across the base, 
its middle advancing into a point on to 
the anterior margin. Scutellum rather 
large. Elytra moderately lobed at sides 
very finely nearly obsoletely punctured, 
with a slight greenish tint on the fiavous 
ground-colour ; the first band below base interrupted by the suture
