19 (a). Chalepus flavipes. (Tab. XIII. fig. 24.) 
Moderately elongate, cuneiform, slightly shining ; above and beneath rufo-fulvous, the elytra with an indeter- 
minate transverse fascia before the apex dilute sanguineous, the lateral margin (except at the apex), and 
also the apical margin, flavous, the eyes and antenne black ; the legs flavous, the tarsi fuscous. Head opaque, 
with a few scattered punctures; the front moderately produced, the interocular space longitudinally 
sulcate in the middle. Antenne short, not one third the length of the body, thickening outwardly ; 
the joints cylindrical, 3 slightly longer than 2 or 4, 6-10 transverse, 11 longer than 10, acuminate. 
Prothorax transverse, convex; the sides converging from the base, the anterior angles rather obtuse; the 
surface closely covered with coarse, foveolate punctures, separated by fine raised reticulations. Elytra 
moderately long, gradually widening from the base to the rounded posterior angle ; the apices conjointly, 
obtusely rounded; the lateral and apical margins finely serrulate ; each elytron with eight, at the base 
and apex with nine, rows of punctures; the second, fourth, and sixth interspaces, together with the 
suture, costate, the second more broadly and strongly than the others. Legs rather short.
