254 MEMOIRS ON THE COLEOPTERA 



rowly and strongly rounded; head transverse as usual, alutaceous, 

 the punctures all distinctly separated by from once to twice their 

 diameters; eyes (cf) separated by a little less than twice their widths; 

 antennae as in vagans but more slender and distinctly shorter; 

 prothorax barely visibly wider than the head, not distinctly wider 

 as in the other species, the sides almost evenly rounded and con- 

 verging throughout and with similar retracted basal angles, differing 

 from any other species, however, in having the rather coarse punc- 

 tures somewhat sparse, being separated by from once to twice their 

 diameters; elytra as in vagans, except that the punctures basally 

 are not so coarse, the external outline posteriorly not sinuate but 

 straight and the apices much more acutely rounded; concavity of 

 the fifth ventral (cf) broad and deep. Length (cf) 8.0 mm.; 

 width 2.8 mm. Locality unrecorded fusella n. sp. 



Black throughout, except that the elytra sometimes have each a large 

 rounded rufous spot just behind the humeri, extending inwardly 

 to the median line of each; pubescence nearly as in the preceding; 

 head distinctly narrower than the prothorax, the punctures moderate 

 and very close, almost contiguous, the occiput sloping unusually 

 steeply to the neck; eyes separated by slightly more than twice 

 their own widths; antennae as in fusella; prothorax evenly narrowed 

 from base to apex and with unusually feebly arcuate sides, the 

 punctures moderately coarse and slightly separated; basal dorsal 

 constriction evident; elytra barely two-fifths wider than the pro- 

 thorax, one-half longer than wide, the converging sides becoming 

 barely at all sinuate, the external apical angles unusually distinct, 

 the inner outline rounding; punctures only about one-half as 

 large as in vagans and separated by nearly their own diameters 

 basally, smaller and somewhat lineate in arrangement postero- 

 externally, black, with a large humeral red spot in the type; ex- 

 cavation of the fifth ventral (cf ) narrower than in the preceding and 

 still deeper, the elevated side-walls even thinner apically. Length 

 (cf ) 7-7 mm.; width 2.6 mm. Locality unrecorded. . . .puella n. sp. 



7 Body more elongate than in vagans, black, the elytra wholly bright 

 red-brown in the type; pubescence rather sparse but coarse, pale, 

 a little longer and more distinct than in vagans; head with moderate, 

 densely crowded punctures, the eyes large and very convex as usual; 

 antennse (9) extending almost to the tips of the elytra; prothorax 

 fully as long as wide, convex, unusually shining, the punctures 

 coarse, deep and close-set throughout; sides converging and almost 

 evenly arcuate from base to the much narrowed apex, where the 

 small constriction delimiting the apical bead is distinct as in vagans; 

 elytra one-half wider than the prothorax, three-fifths longer than 

 wide, larger and longer than in vagans and with punctures that are 

 very nearly as coarse basally but less crowded, being in fact clearly 

 separated, much less rapidly or pronouncedly smaller apically; 

 apices narrowly truncate. Length (9) 10.0 mm.; width 3.5 mm.
