384. Cryptocephalus uniformis, sp. n. 
Obscure flavous ; terminal joints of antennae darkened, posterior 
edge of thorax and basal margin of elytra black ; shoulders with a 
small spot ; pygidium black at base only or sometimes entirely 
flavous. 
Head closely punctured near eyes, depressed at middle ; eyes 
very broadly emarginate ; clypeus scarcely separated from face, 
strongly transverse, short, strongly punctured ; antennae slender ; 
third and following joints elongate, nearly equal, terminal joints 
not widened. Thorax about twice as broad as long, entirely im- 
punctate ; scutellum margined with black. Elytra subcylindrical, 
nearly parallel, moderately strongly punctate-striate, interstices 
flat, impunctate ; shoulders with a small black spot ; prosternum 
broad, anterior margin produced at middle, posterior angles strongly 
pointed. 
Length 4 mm. 
Hab. India : Trichinopoly. 
Of this species I received two specimens from M. Clavareau at 
Brussels. These closely resemble C. pallidipennls , but the antennae 
are shorter and without widened joints, the thorax is distinctly 
shorter, the elytral punctures are stronger and more regular and 
the shoulders have a small black spot ; from C. cinndbarinus the 
species is sufficiently distinguished by the smaller size and colour 
of the legs, and from unicolorous varieties of C. valili by the 
impunctate thorax, distinctly punctured apex of the elytra, and 
generally larger size. 
385. Cryptocephalus insignatus, sp. n. 
Reddish-fulvous ; antennae (basal joints excepted) and tarsi 
black. 
Broad and parallel-sided ; head scarcely perceptibly punctured ; 
clypeus separated from face by a few minute punctures ; labrurn 
fulvous ; antennae black, extending beyond middle of elytra, basal 
three joints fulvous, first basal joint elongate, curved, slightly 
thickened, second short, third and following joints about as long as 
the first, terminal joints thickened. Thorax proportionately long, 
about one-half broader than long, sides feebly rounded, narrowly 
margined; surface entirely impunctate, very shining. Scutellum 
triangular, flavous, base black. Elytra parallel, broadly rounded 
at apex, shoulders prominent ; puncturation strong and very 
regular, distinct and only slightly finer at apex, punctures piceous, 
interstices broad and flat, here and there finely wrinkled, fifth and 
sixth row of punctures shortest, joined at apex ; epipleural lobes 
distinct but short. Breast slightly darker than rest of underside ; 
all the tarsi black, first joint strongly widened and long ; pro-
