CHRYSOMELA VESPEKALIS. 

 ('Jtnjxoiixlit i<,xj><nti;x Scudcl.. Tert. rhym-h. Col. I'. S.. pi. '2, tig. 27 (1892). 



A species is indicated of about the size of C. elegaws Oliv., and is 

 preserved so as to show a dorsal view. The head is moderately large, 

 about two-thirds the width of the thorax, and is coarsely, distantly, and 

 very feebly punctate; the antennae are nearly a third longer than the head 

 and thorax together. The thorax is twice as broad as long, with well- 

 rounded sides, and the surface is punctate like the head, but a little more 

 distinctly. The elytra are nearly twice as broad as the thorax, with well- 

 rounded humeri and longitudinal series of shallow circular punctures, 

 removed from each other in the same row by about their own diameters. 



Length, 4.6 mm.; breadth of thorax, 1.4 mm.: of elytra, 2.6 mm.
