63. Eucyclotropis pustulata spec. nov. 



J?. Brown-black, rather densely pubescent olive-cinnamon. Rostrnm nearly 

 twice as broad as long, emargiuato at apex, flat, antennal cavity widely open, 

 transverse, the rostrum appearing incised in dorsal aspect, upper edge of cavity 

 raarginate, the anterior portion (if thought prolonged) dorsal of the eye. Lobes 

 of false mentum completely rounded at end. Antenna short, rnfesccnt, segment 3 

 hardly as long as 2, 8 as long as broad, club compact, triangular, as long as broad, 

 10 transverse, 11 broader than long. Prothorax plicate-rugate, much longer above 

 than sit side, ])roduced forward (side-view !), sinuate in middle at apex, convex, 

 strongly rounded at sides, widest just behind middle, a double mesial tubercle 

 with black tufts. Scutellum white. Elytra of nearly even width from shoulder 

 to ajiical declivity, emarginate together at base, with rows of large punctures, 

 the stripes not much impressed, except sutural one, interspaces finely granulose ; 

 alternate interspaces pustulated with black, a large black pustule in third inter- 

 space in middle, basal callosity distinct, divided. Pygidium rounded. Tibiae with

04. Eucyclotropis striata spec. nov. 



¥. Black, densely irrorated with a coarse white pubescence, mesial line of 

 pronotum white, elytrum with ten white lines extending from base to apex, alternate 

 ones feebler. Rostrum impressed raesially at base; antennal cavity occupying the 

 whole side, its upjier edge cariniform. Eye coarsely granulate, feebly emarginate. 

 Lobes of false mentum strongly rounded. Antenna stout, segment 1 rufous, 2 twice 

 as long as broad, twice the length of 3, this much shorter than 4, which is about as 

 long as 2, .5 to 8 nearly the same in length, 8 dilated, club compact, 9 broader 

 than long, 10 twice as broad as long, 11 as long as broad, sinuate at anterior side 

 near aj)ex. Prothorax twice as broad as long, as broad at apex as at base, wider at 

 apex than head inclusive of eyes, basal margin evenly convex, parallel to antebasal 

 carina, basal angles strongly rounded, side rounded, cariniform, giving the dorsal 

 carina the appearance of being continued to apical angle. Elytra strongly convex, 

 not depressed at suture, irregularly punctured, without the usual stripes of punc- 

 tures. Pygidium and last sternite subtruncate. First tarsal segment one-fourth 

 the length of the tibia. 



Length, 3i mm.
