660 REVISION OF THE GENUS PAROPSIS, 



MM. Size very small (long, less 



than 2 lines) interrupta, Chp. 



LL. Suture absolutelj' flat (not even 



margined) Hebe, Blackb. 



*KK. Form notably less convex; not 

 at all subhemispha3ric. 

 L. The elytral series run normally. 

 M. The middle part of prosternum 

 normal (i.e., sulcate between 

 two carinasj. 

 N. External elytral series coarse 

 (as coarse as front part of 



those of P. orphana) Calliope, Blackb. 



NN. External elytral series nota- 

 bly less coarse. 

 0. Prothorax strongly narrowed 



in front Calypso, Blackb. 



00. Prothorax very little nar- 

 rowed in front intertincta, Clk. 



MM. Middle part of prosternum 



without sulcus or carina? 



(or nearly so). 



N. Punctures in the elytral series 



sparse, here and there twice 



as wide apart as the 



diameter of a puncture transversomaculata, Clk. 



NN. The punctures close and 



regular (or nearly so) subfaseiata, Chp. 



LL. The elytral series run distinctly 



in pairs _ coadnuta, Chp. 



EE. Basal joint of antenna? short and dilated, 

 scarcely reaching beyond margin of 

 eye. 

 F. Prosternum normal. Usually 6 joints 

 belonging to the dilated infuscate 

 series of antennal joints. 

 G. Interstitial punctures of elytra sub- 

 equal inte7- .se and not seriate. 

 H. Sef-iate punctures of elytra very fine 

 (not much coarser than the inter- 

 stitial) posticalis, Blackb. 



Female specimeng of P. suhfasciata, Chp., somewhat approximate to the form 

 minor and its allies.
