in which the whole elytra are pallid. The species is remarkable 

 also for the angulation of the sides of the prothorax (where the 

 anterior of the two lateral setae is placed) being very near to the 

 front margin — much nearer, e.g., than in A. curtula, Er., (^corti- 

 calis, Chaud.). Compared with A. biguttata, Chaud., the present 

 insect is much smaller, with different markings, very much more 

 transverse prothorax, ifec.

EURYSCAPHUS SULCICOLLIS, Sp.noV. 



Minus latus; niger; nitidus; capite minus transverso, supra oculos 

 utrinque bipunctulato, inter oculos vix rugato, sulcis fron- 

 talibus modicis antice minus fortiter divergentibus, postice 

 linea curvata conjunctis ; prothorace quam longiori fere 

 duabus partibus latiori, marginato, transversim leviter 

 rugato, leviter canaliculate, intra margines laterales utrinque 

 late longitudinaliter sulcato, lateribus postice vix sinuatis, 

 margine antico manifeste bisinuato, angulis anticis leviter 

 productis, mavginibus utrinque bipunctatis; elytris modice 

 convexis, fere Ifevibus, quam conjunctim latioribus sat lon- 

 gioribus, ad basin leviter emarginatis, humeris reflexis, disco

 The most striking character of this species is the wide shallow 

 sulcus on either side of the prothorax considerably within the 

 lateral margin running from the front hindward, and gradually 

 becoming fainter as it approaches the base (there is an approach 

 to this sculpture in E. bijninctatus, Macl.). The large puncture 

 on the hinder part of the disc of each elytron distinguishes the 

 present insect from ail the previously described Uiiryscaphi except 

 bipunctatus, Macl., obesiis, Macl., tatei, Blackb., and ebeninus, 

 Sloaue ; the elytra are distinctly longer in proportion to their 

 width (as 19 to 16) than in any of the last named except tatei, 

 Blackb., to which this species is rather close, differing, however
