000. Posterior angle of the elytron produced laterally into a more or less acute 
triangular plate. 
34. Uroplata fulvopustulata. (Tab. IV. fig. 19.) 
Late cuneiformis, depressa, piceo-fulva, nitida; thorace, scutello pedibusque flavis ; capite inter oculos paullo 
producto, levi; thorace transverso, transversim convexo, rude rugoso-punctato ; elytris a paullo ante me- 
dium apicem versus ampliatis, apice obtusis, angulo postico lateraliter in laminam trigonatam producto; 
lateribus laxe et minute, margine apicali distinctius, serrulatis ; dorso deplanatis, utrisque decem-, basi 
extrema undecim-seriato-punctatis, sutura interspatiisque alternis costatis; callo humerali lateraliter 
paullo producto ; fusco-eneis, maculis parvis fulvis ornatis.

Head very slightly produced between the eyes; front and vertex smooth, impunctate. 
Antenne more than one third the length of the body, slender at the base, thickened 
towards the apex, their joints cylindrical. Thorax twice as broad at the base as long; 
sides straight and slightly converging from the base to the middle, thence more quickly 
converging and slightly sinuate to the apex, the anterior angle armed with a subacute 
tooth; upper surface transversely convex, transversely excavated on the hinder disc, 
coarsely and irregularly punctured. Elytra much broader than the thorax; sides 
gradually dilated from just before the middle to the posterior angle, the latter produced 
into a triangular concave plate; apical margin obtuse, distinctly serrate; lateral margin 
finely and subremotely serrulate ; each elytron with ten, at the extreme base with eleven, 
rows of punctures; the suture, together with each alternate interspace, costate; the 
humeral callus laterally prominent; fusco-eneous, marked with numerous small fulvous 
patches, arranged as follows:—one basal; two placed on the first costa, one about its 
middle, the other towards its apex; one on the outer margin, halfway between the 
middle and the apex; and, lastly, one on the apical margin, transverse. 
35. Uroplata lineaticollis. | 
Late cuneiformis, depressa, fulva, nitida, pectoris lateribus antennisque nigro-piceis; thorace subconico, late- 
. ribus a basi ad apicem convergentibus, leviter rotundatis, disco transversim convexo, pone medium leviter 
transversim excavato, profunde crebre punctato, punctis disci medio magis remotis; lateribus nigro-piceis, 
vittis brevibus duabus discoidalibus, male definitis, pallide piceis ; elytris subquadrato-oblongis, ad apicem 
ampliatis, serrulatis, apice obtuse rotundato, angulo postico in laminam obtusam lateraliter producto; 
utrisque decem-, basi undecim-seriato-punctatis, interspatiis secundo, quarto et octavo totis, nec non sexto 
basi, costatis ; piceis, rufo-piceo variegatis, apice, macula laterali pone medium, nonnullisque parvis 
- discoidalibus, falvis.

So closely allied in form and coloration to U. fulvopustulata that it will be only 
necessary to point out the distinctive differences: its thorax is narrower, subconic, and 
not unicolorous; the antenne are nigro-piceous instead of fulvous, and, lastly, the pro- 
duced hinder angles of the elytra are shorter and much more obtuse; in all other
