Long. ]4i mra., elytr. in, lat. 8J. 



Upper side auil legs feelily spotted with grey or fulvous grey, some of the spots 

 on the vertex and two on the prothorax near the front margin more conspicuous. 

 Prothorax distinctly narrowed towards the anterior margin ; base sinuate at each 

 side, the median lobe bearing three transverse grooves, two of which are more distinct 

 than the third, and finely transversely striate. Shoulders of the elytra prominent 

 and obliquely truncate, their posterior angle ])roduced into a strong tubercle. Apical

Long. 9 mm., elytr. 6i, lat. 5i. 



Prothorax strongly and evenly dUated liehinJ, and aiirnptly constricted at the 

 base ; the latter slightly widened in the middle, with two transverse grooves. 

 Punctuation of the elytra very coarse, except at the suture behind the middle, where 

 the punctures are rather minute ; the punctures confluent at the base, forming 

 irregular and more or less transverse grooves, with the interstices raised and, 

 chiefly underneath the shoulders, somewhat granular. Second spot of the elytra 

 formed by erect deep black hairs.

Allied to I). lobatHS sp. nov., from which it may be distinguished by the shape 

 of the prothorax and the rounded humeral angles. The anterior spot of the elytra, 

 standing in the middle in I). firiciiiinntii>i, is larger in J>. Inhatus and placed some- 

 what in front of the middle. Under surface alike in both species. 



Cinciunata gen. nov. (Crossotinorum).

Near Eumimetes Lacord., from which it difters in the rounded cheeks, in the 

 antennae having a much longer scape and all the joints fringed underneath with 

 long hairs, in tlie protliora.x being almost straight at the sides and without tubercle, 

 and in the depressed jjrocess of the j)ro- antl mesosternum.
