Bothrichara iridescens sp. n. (Figs 10, 13) Head, pronotum and scutellum black, densely covered by fine decumbent hairs; elytra largely purplish-bluish, iridescent, at places with greenish lustre; pubescence decumbent, incomplete; pubescent places alternating with extensive glabrous parts; ventral surface black; legs dark blackish brown; antennae reddish brown, a little darkling toward apex. Pubescence silvery white. Length: 7. 5-7. 6 mm. 6. Head finely and densely punctate; eyes rather convex, transverse; EI= 13:8; length ratios of antennái segments: 8: 5: 13: 15: 13: 12: 12: 12: 11: 11: 22; no modified or transversal segments; segment I about as long as half the distance between antennái sockets. Pronotum very densely and finely punctate; punctuation invisible because of dense pubescence; of nearly same length and width; widest at base, slightly constricted just posterior to the middledisc with flat impressions. Elytra elongate, moderately convex, slightly widening in straight line, widest in apical 1/4; punctures-coarse

, more or less evenly scattered, well separated, interspaces almost flat, not plicate; basal 1/6 densely pubescent, then followed by a transverse glabrous strip of same width; rest of elytra with large, partly confluent, round, Figs 13-14. 13= Bothrichara iridescens sp. n., - 14= B. iners sp. n., <?.
