than the basal joint of the club. The pubescence, too, is peculiar, being vaguely 
arranged so as to form somewhat interrupted longitudinal vitte. The legs are more 
elongate than they are in the other species of Cryptorhopalum. ‘The punctuation 
is extremely fine, and the pubescence is long and has a flavescent tint. Nine 
specimens.

This genus is known only from a single North-American species. It is closely 
allied to the Old World Zrinodes, and in fact exactly similar in appearance, ‘The 
North-American insect is rare and unknown to me, but it seems clear from descriptions 
that it is different from any of our forms.
