676 REVISION OP THE GENUS PAROPSIS, 



P. PULVERULBNTA, Sp.nOV. 



Breviter ovata ; fortiter convexa ; sat nitida ; flavo brunnea, 

 antennis (apice excepto) et capite postice nigricantibus, in 

 elytris areis nonnullis fumicoloribus (in quibus puncturte 

 seriatai nigra? sunt) ; capite crebre subtilius punctulato ; 

 antennis elongatis sat filiformibus, articulis omnibus quam 

 latioribus sat longioribus; prothorace quam longiori ut fere 

 2^ ad 1 latiori, confertim subtiliter (ad latera grosse nee 

 confluenter) punctulato, latera versus late leviter impresso, 

 latex'ibus leviter arcuatis, angulis anticis subacutis posticis 

 obtusis (fere subrotundatis); elytris baud striatis, sat fortiter 

 10-seriatim punctulatis, puncturis in seriebus parum sym- 

 metrice dispositis, interstitiis planis distincte punctulatis, 

 sutura postice perspicue carinata, parte marginali quam 

 series exteniJB vix magis fortiter punctulata. 

 ^. Tarsorum anticorum 4 articulo basali parum fortiter dilatato, 



lateribus vix arcuatis. Long. 3, lat. 2| lines. 

 The elytral markings of this species are evidently diffei^ent 

 from those of its near allies, though partaking of the same general 

 character. They consist of about eight or nine patches on each 

 elytron sliuhtly darker than the general surface and with some- 

 what the appearance of being dusty. These patches are placed 

 with more or less regularity in three longitudinal rows, and such 

 of the seriate punctures as happen to be on them are black. The 

 antenna? are a trifle shorter and more thickened towards the apex 

 than those of olliterafa. I think it just possible that this species 

 is defect a, Chp., which, however, is not sufficiently desci'ibed for 

 confident identification.
