molUor. Scutellum transverse. Bcasal callosity of elytram higher than iu tlie 

 species jnst mentioned, divided by the second punctured stripe into an inner rounded 

 tubercle and an outer carina, the latter being the basal i>ortiou of the elevate third 

 interspace. Mesosternal process vertical, declivous at apex, with the apical margin 

 rounded. First hindtarsal segment not longer than second. 



Length, 8 mm.

130. Euparius censors spec. nov. 



(S. In colour and shape similar to slmilis, smaller. Black, brunuescent, shaft 

 of antenna brown, end-segment luteous. Pubescence of ujiperside black-brown, 

 mixed with white. A rather large, shar[)ly defined, irregular lateral spot on 

 pronotum situated in front of the lateral carina densely pubescent chalky white ; 

 four tiny discal dots on pronotum, two in front and two behind, a triangular mesial 

 spot before basal carina, a sutural area on elytra, widest behind subbasal callosity, 

 not sharply limited behind, a nebulous discal patch before apical declivity, apex 

 of elytra, first tarsal segment and middle of tibia of mid- and hiudlegs more densely 

 pubescent white. Interspaces 3 and 5 of elytram obviously tesselated with brown. 



Rostrum with faint basal mesial sulcus. Frons less than twice as wide as the 

 eye is high in frontal view. Anteuual segment 3 one-third longer than 4, 8 almost 

 globular, 9 a little longer than broad, 11 more than half as long again as broad, 

 elliptical. Pronotum regnlarly convex, depressed before basal carina ; this angulate 

 in middle, its lateral angle 9U°, with the extreme tip a little rounded off. Scutellum 

 transverse. Elytra slightly depressed along suture, the depression widened behind 

 subbasal callosities, separating the latter from the slightly elevated posterior 

 two-thirds of the third interspace. Mesosternal process declivous, faintly convex 

 near apex. Abdomeu feebly depressed. First tarsal segment much less than half 

 the length of the tibiae. 



Length, 5§ mm.

137. Euparius nodosus spec. nov. 



(J?. Similar to E. cUtelliger (1839) Fahrs. ; distinguished by the prothorax 

 being less deeply impressed above, the hinder angles of the same being much more 

 produced backwards, by the elytrum bearing in the middle a tubercle which is as 

 high as the subbasal one, and by the intercoxal process of the mesosternum being 

 much more strongly tuberculate. In colour the two insects are nearly the same, 

 but the pronotum is less variegated in nodosus, the subbasal blackish spots found 

 in cUtelliger being practically absent from the new species and the white subapical 

 spots being vestigial.

138. Euparius rufus spec. nov. 



S ?. Very pale rufous buif ; apex of mandible, segments 9 and 10 of antenna, 

 some parts of the sterna, and numerous dots on upper surface brown-black ;
