Hoplia (Municli Cat.). 
22. — Hoplia concolob, n. sp. 
Oblonga, sat elongata, ferruginea squamulis pallide griseis, magnis, fere cequaliter 
cestita ; tarsorum posticorum unguiculo mutico. 
Long. 8 mm., lat. 4J mm. 
The head, except in front, is rather darker than the rest of the surface ; the scales it hears 
are pale, sub-depressed, and narrower than on the rest of the surface, and on the front part 
where they are scanty are setae rather than scales. The thorax is of the same form as in 
Melolontha graminicola,~E&b., hut it is evenly clothed with closely set, coarse, pale ochre-coloured 
scales, and bears also a very few erect line setse. The elytra are long, and are clothed in a 
similar manner to the thorax, the scales being very nearly circular in form. The pygidium, 
propygidium, and ventral segments are also closely covered with scales hut little different from 
those of the elytra. The legs are of a uniform reddish colour scarcely different from the 
elytra 
The only individual I have seen is a female ; it has the antennse 9- jointed, and the front 
tibise with two moderately prominent teeth, and an emargination above the upper one ; the 
front claw seems quite single and without tooth ; the claw of the middle foot has a very 
minute division some distance before the apex, while the posterior claw seems to he quite 
simple. 
The species seems to me more allied to Melolontha 
I know ; hut it is of a more elongate and parallel form, 
and is clothed with larger scales.

Seeica (Munich Cat.). 
23. — Seeica ljsticttla, n. sp. 
Obovata, convexa, nitidula, tantum abdwnine opaeo, lata, brunneo-ferruginea ; prothorace 
fortiter punctato, elytris seriatim punctatis, seriebus leviter depressis, interstitiis plants , 
tantum juxta series punctatis; antennis 10-articulatis, jlabelli articulo primo apice 
emarginato. 
Long. 8|s mm., lat. 4 mm. 
Similar in form to Serica mutata, except that it is much broader and only a little longer ; 
the whole of the upper surface quite shining; clypeus emarginate in front, the whole of its 
anterior part coarsely and rugosely punctured, the hinder part sparingly hut distinctly 
punctured Thorax strongly transverse, evenly and coarsely punctured. Sscutellum coarsely 
and closely punctured, with a smooth longitudinal space along the middle. Elytra with rows of 
punctures, which are so little depressed as scarcely to amount to strise; the interstices hardly 
at all convex, and their punctures confined to the neighbourhood of the rows of punctures. 
Pvmdium rather ohsoletely punctured, shining ; outer edge of hind coxa scarcely twice as long 
s the outer edge of metasternum, its hind margin slightly sinuate near the outer angle, 
which is hardly at all rounded; the punctures of the hind coxes coarse and ocellate.
