tured and hairy. Elytra with the inner apical angle right-angled 

 and the outer rounded-off, largely punctured within the margin, 

 especially near the apex. Tibise with a row of large spines down 

 the outer, and a row of smaller ones down the inner side, 4-cal- 

 carate at the apex, the two inner spurs larger. 



47. Heteroglossa ruficollis, N. 



H. colore prsecedentis sed obscurior, the race pectoreque rufo-testa- 

 ceis, antennis art. 3 primis nigrescentibus. Long. corp. 4^ lin. 



Cum prsecedente sed rarius et per occasionem nocte ad lumen 

 cepi. 



The shape of the body is quite that of the former, but the 

 insect is larger. The head is less distinctly punctured than in 

 the former, and there is an additional impression in the middle 

 of the forehead. The thorax is also less deeply punctured, but 

 the divisional furrow is more so than in the preceding species. 

 The anterior tibise appear somewhat less deeply notched. There 

 is nothing else to add to the description that has not been 

 pointed out already. 



48. Heteroglossa bimaculata, N. 



H. subcastanea, thorace eapiteque rufo-testaceis, elytris medio ma- 

 culis 2 flavis pictis, pedibus abdominisque apice testaceis. Long, 

 corp. 5|^ lin. 



Ubi praecedentes infrequentissime legi. 



Head, with the exception of the forehead, deeply punctured, 

 with two impressions in front of the eyes ; anterior angles of 

 labrum rounded. Thorax densely and deeply punctured, with 

 elytra thinly pubescent ; the latter with a round, yellow spot at 

 the middle of each.
