658 REVISION OF THE GENUS PAROPSIS, 



B. Species of depressed form ; elytra explanate 

 at apex, so that from the side the suture 

 appears mucronate. (No very small 

 species.) 

 C. The punctures of the interstices much finer 

 than of the series. 

 D. The seriate punctures of the elytra not 

 particularly fine (somewhat as in intacta, 

 Newm. ). 

 E. Prothorax without well defined markings. 

 F. Seriate punctures of elytra becoming 

 very coarse behind (as in suturalis, 



Germ.) scutellata, Chp. 



FF. Seriate punctures of elytra not or but 



little coarser near apex Hera, StJil. 



EE. Middle of prothorax (as also the head 



and suture of elytra) black scaphula, Chp. 



DD. The seriate punctures of the elytra much 



finer depressa, Chp. 



CC. The lateral interstices with punctures as 



large as those of the adjacent series turbata, Chp. 



BB. Species not of the form of the next pre- 

 ceding 5 species. 

 C. The eyes very strongly granulate. 

 D. Seriate punctures of elytra finer in apical 

 quarter and not confused with coarse 



interstitial punctures..., umbrosa, Chp. 



DD. Seriate punctures in apical quarter coarse 

 and much confused with coarse inter- 

 stitial punctures. 

 E. Elytra (conjointly) notably pointed at 



apex anxia, Chp. 



EE. Elytra widely rounded at apex nigroconsper.sa, Clk. 



CC. The eyes considerably less strongly 

 granulate. 

 D. Elytral series very coarse behind, where 

 some interstices are much narrower 

 than the diameter of the punctures in 

 the adjacent series. 

 E. Elytra with more or less distinct discal 



vittje of dark colour. , orphana, Er. 



EE. Elytra without dark discal vittte; the 



suture usually red suturalis, Germ.
