348 | Mr. Kirby's Descriptions of 
tatus: punctis distinctis, ante scutellum lineolà ex- 
aratus. Pedes rufi: coxis femorum trochanteribus tar- 
sisque nigris. Coleoptra oblonga, striata, ex flavescente 
cinerea, qui color ex pilis decumbentibus exoritur: vittà 
intermedia rectá lata villoso-albida, que tamen ad 
apicem haud attingit, in utroque eir notanda ; margo 
itidem lateralis paululàm albescit. 
Obs.— Puncta et lineola thoracica nisi pilis abrasis via facile conspi- 
cienda. 
This species very much resembles 4. melanopum (Linn. Trans. 
ix. 19. 2), which it should follow; but the rostrum is thicker, the 
first joint only of the antennz is rufous, the trunk is proportionally 
wider, the thighs are entirely rufous, the very extremity of the 
base only excepted, the hip-joints are black, and the elytra, instead 
of a narrow oblique streak, have a broad straight stripe of white, 
which runs nearly to the end. |
