mens alnicist absent, and the scutellnm is pnbescent white only at the tip. Since I 

 have seen only two specimens of 0. pxiella (Chevr.), I am doubtful wholher to 

 separate the form from Knihi as a distinct s])ecies or as an aberration.

Long. 1.5 mm., elytr. in, lat. .5. 



Derm entirely black, clothed with a wliite pubescence of a feeble buff tint, con- 

 fined to lines and spots on the upper surface. Head with a spot on the cheeks and 

 with one longitudinal streak at each side of the front, continued to the posterior 

 part of the vertex, the two streaks ajiproximate on the vertex and not interrui>ted 

 on the autennal tubers ; neck with a very narrow streak behind each eye. Antennae 

 shorter than the body. Prothorax with a narrow median streak, a band at each 

 side of the disc, rather broad and somewhat dilated at the basal margin, with another 

 broad band above the coxal cavities and a slightly marked streak in the middle 

 of the sides. Suture — esjjecially inunediately before the middle — and apical margin 

 of the elytra white (lubescent ; eacli elytron bearing four markings, one linear aud 

 longitudinal, of about a quarter the length of the elytra, placed in the middle of the 

 base and somewhat dilated at the tip ; a second line, much narrower than the first, 

 running from the base near the shoidder to about the beginning of the ajiical 

 quarter ; a third linear but transverse and oblique marking standing in the middle 

 of the apical fifth; and lastly a rounded sjiot beyond the middle near the suture. 

 The truncate tip of the elytra with short and sharp sutural sjnnes and with much 

 longer outer ones. Punctuation of the elytra regular at the sides, with one punctured 

 row in the wliite lateral line. Sides of the under surface white ; each abdominal 

 segment bearing a black lateral sjjot, which is deeply sinuate in front of tlie last 

 segment. The latter truncate, with the angles produced into a short tooth.

Allied to G. nrcuxita (Chevr.) as well as to G. pnella ((Jhevr.), but is easily 

 distinguished from both of them liy the pattern of the elytra.
