3n(). Nupserha capitata sp. nov. 



Differt a iV. antennalis sp. nov. : capita nigro, fortius punctate, elytrorum carina 

 laterali fortius elevata. 



Long. 1 1 mm., elytr. fs, lat. 2^. 



This form differs from N. a/ntennalis sp. nov. only in the above-meutioned 

 characters, and is otherwise so closely allied to this species that I have some doubt 

 whether it is a distinct species or only a variety.

 Some sjiecimens from t'amemous und Ugowe (cJcJ? ? ), with a black spot in 

 the middle of the vertex, seem to me to belong to this species.
