DD. Prasyptera nigripes, n. sp. 
Black; the base of the terminal joint of the antennae and 
the thorax fulvous; elytra bluish, closely punctured and rugose. 
Length 3 !/, lines. 
Vertex of the head bluish black, impunctate; clypeus finely 
rugose and pubescent; thorax obsoletely depressed near the 
base, three times as broad as long, the depression finely punctu- 
red; underside and legs black. 
Hab. New Guinea, Ramoi (Beccari). 
Distinct on account of the black undersides and legs, the 
obsolete depression of the thorax and the finely rugosely 
punctate elytra. | 
56. Prasyptera clypeata, n. sp. 
Fulvous; vertex of head, antennae and the scutellum black; 
thorax without depression and impunctate; elytra metallic green 
rather remotely punctured and rugose, the punctuation strong; 
apices of the posterior femora, tibiae and tarsi, a spot at the 
sides of the abdominal segments and the pygidium black. 
Length 3 lines. 
Hab. New Guinea, Ramoi (Beccari). 
Differing in the fulvous clypeus, the impunctate and not 
grooved thorax; from P. unifasciata in the much more strongly 
punctured elytra and want of the band of the latter. It is ne- 
cessary to examine more specimens to come to a definite con- 
clusion as to the specific value of these 2 species.
