THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



pronotum, granulated, with short longitudinal fuscous impression on 

 either side within the eyes, antenna much shorter than the head, 

 the first three joints subequal in length, third reaching apex of head, 

 narrower than second, fourth joint incrassated, longer and thicker 

 than second. Pronotum on the anterior lobe with two strongly con- 

 vergent waved keels, each bearing a black tubercle, on the posterior 

 lobe with four short ridges, each bearing a brown tubercle. Scutel- 

 lum rather strongly and densely punctured with a series of three or 

 four black granules immediately within the lateral sinuosity, apex 

 unarmed, the basal elevation broadly crescent-shaped, three times 

 broader than long, granulated and with two small broadly separated 

 black tubercles at the very base, partly overlapping the pronotal 

 basal margin ; a short faint oblique ridge between each side of the 

 basal elevation and the scutellar margin; the median scutellar 

 keel slightly granulated, narrowing toward apex. Abdomen with 

 the first connexival segment but slightly narrower exteriorly than 

 interiorly, the posterior margin of this segment scarcely oblique, 

 the upper lateral margin of the three following segments with two 

 short apically subtruncate lobes, anterior lobe blackish, posterior 

 brown, upper lateral margin of all subsequent segments with two 

 tubercles, anterior tubercle black, posterior pale, the lower lateral 

 margin of all segments (first excepted) with three tubercles, the 

 middle one of which is black, the others being pale. Legs pale 

 testaceous, a submedian ring to femora and tibia, apex of tibiae, 

 and tarsi fuscous. Length, 9 3.7 mm.

AiJIed to C. paUidipes Stal, but with differently constructed 

 antennae and differently coloured scutellum and legs. 



9. Calisiiis contiihernalis n. sp. — Oblong (9), fuscous-ochrace- 

 ous, sometimes darker, last antennal joint fuscous, first connexival 

 segment whitish ochraceous. Head a little longer than broad, 

 granulated, the apical process with a lateral impression, antennae 

 as long as the head, first joint slightly passing apex of antenniferous 

 spines, second joint as long as first and almost reaching apex of 

 head, third joint as thick as and a little longer than second, fourth 

 joint thicker and somewhat longer than third, rostrum almost 

 reaching base of head. Pronotum slightly shorter than the head, 

 the posterior lobe finely and rather thickly punctured, with four 

 keels, the two median ones parallel, the outer pair strongly con- 

 vergent and continued over the anterior lobe where they are granu- 

 lated, reaching the apical margin. Scutellum rather more strongly 

 punctured than the posterior pronotal lobe, with a series of five 

 black granules immediately within the lateral sinuosity and a 

 transverse series of 8 or 9 such granules close to the apical margin, 

 the median carina granulated, attenuated toward apex, at the base
