144 Psyche [Sept.-Dee. 
of the antennae red, joint 8 and the dub black. Eyes coarsely 
granulate. Pronotum with the front angles obtuse, its sides 
evenly rounded, slightly constricted behind the middle, the hind 
angles acute and slightly divergent. Margin of pronotum mod- 
erately broad, very low. Disc of pronotum strongly convex, 
lateral sulci obsolete, Msal foveae deep, basal transverse sulcus 
broad and shallow. Elytra long oval, their sides evenly rounded, 
umbones perceptible but feebly elevated. Scutellum trans- 
versely oval. The most distinctive feature of the insect is a 
large, oval, black patch upon the elytra, in which feature it 
resembles D. atronotata Pic (from description) but the present 
species lacks pronotal markings. The prosternum is rather 
broad between the front coxae, prolonged posteriorly beyond 
them as in D. testacea (Ziegler). The pronotum is sparsely and 
very finely punctured ; the ely tral punctures are sparsely placed 
and a little coarser than those of the pronotum. The specimen 
was probably pubescent over its entire surface but now shows 
a sparse covering of hair only at the sides of the pronotum and 
elytra. The under surface has a similar sparse pubescence 
except the central area of the metasternum. Length 3 mm. 
From the exposed sixth ventral abdominal segment I think 
the specimen is a male but there are no sexual features apparent 
in the antennae or legs. 
Saula serraticollis n. sp. 
Type, male. “S. O. Kamerun, Lolodorf, L. Conradt 95.” 
Reddish-brown with the exception of the eyes and last four 
antennal joints, which are black. Head with scattered, fine 
punctures. Eyes prominent, coarsely granulate. Head behind 
the eyes narrowed into a short neck. Antennae surpassing 
shoulders of elytra by the length of last two joints. Joints 1-6 
reddish-yellow, 7 dusky, 8-11 shining black, joints 9-11 form- 
ing a loose- jointed club. Joint 9 longer than broad; joint 10 a 
little broader than 9; joint 11 oval, its apex evenly rounded. 
Thorax broader than long, its front angles obtusely rounded. 
From the front angles the sides of the pronotum are expanded 
for a third of their length, then evenly but abruptly constricted, 
expanded again at the hind angles, which are acute and slightly 
produced. Transverse, basal sulcus almost straight, deeply im- 
pressed, lateral sulci absent. The entire surface of the pronotum 
is thickly, coarsely, subrugosely punctured. There is, on either
