12. Decataphanes punctipennis Jord. (1895).

The specimen, which measures only 12 mm., is the second which I have seen 

 of this species. It agrees with the name-type in the dorsal carina being nearly 

 quite straight.

5 (? c? ; Sassa (R. Colmant). 



Agrees in colour closely with the form known as D. canescens Qaed. (1886). 

 Rather narrower, the prothorax especially being longer, Imt not so long as in 

 I), cavicollis Har. (1879). At once recognised by the eye, pronotal carina, the 

 antenna and midtibia, at least in the c?. 



The other species of Deuterocrates have the eye very distinctly sinuate, while 

 in the new one the sinus is barely indicated. The first segment of the antenna 

 bears in all the other Deuterocrates in the c? at the apex a round pit filled in with a 

 long pubescence, and is devoid of this organ in armatus. The tenth anteiinal segment 

 is less than half the length of the eleventh. With the exception of armatus the 

 lateral angle of the pronotal carina is obtuse in Deuterocrates (cJ ?), and the short 

 longitudinal basal carina is .so oblique as to divide more or less evenly the convex 

 angle formed by the dorsal and lateral carinae. In armatus, on the other hand, 

 the carinae meet at right angles and the short longitudinal basal carina is 

 horizontal, having the same or very nearly the same direction as the main lateral
