fortiter (postice sparsius subtilius, ad latera grosse rugulose) 



punctulato, subinsequali, lateribus sat fortiter arcuatis, 



angulis posticis imllis ; elytris crebre subfortiter confuse 



punctulatis, verrucas sat magnas leviter elevatas testaceas 



sparsissime punctulatas (his lorigitudinaliter 10-seriatim dis- 



positis) ferentibus. Long. 5, lat. 4 lines. 



This species is distinct from its congeners of the same group 



by the presence on its elytra of regular rows of comparatively 



large well defined verrucae. The subscutellar row is very short; 



the 2nd almost entire, interrupted near the middle and containing 



about 8 verruca?; the 3rd entire and containing about 15 verrucas; 



the 4th much interrupted, of about six verrucse; the 5th, 6th, 



7th, 9th and 10th much like the 3rd; the 8th much like the 4th. 



The ground colour of the upper surface is red-brown, the pronotum 



with 3 feebly marked piceous vittae, the margins and verrucae of 



the elytra testaceous. The under surface is obscure testaceous 



with the metasternum piceous in the middle ; the legs are 



testaceous.

(J. Subcircularis; parum convexa (e latere visa quam P. niorio, 



Fab., vix magis convexa); sat nitida; rufa, flavo piceoque 



variegata; capite crebre subtilius punctulato; an tennis quam 



corporis dimidium paullo brevioribus ; prothorace quam 



longiori ut 16 ad 7 latiori, quam caput in disco (ad latera 



grosse nee confluenter), paullo fortius sparsius punctulato, 



utrinque latera versus late profunde impresso, lateribus sat 



arcuatis, angulis posticis rotundatis; elytris fere ut pronotum 



(sed minus crebre) ponfuse punctulatis, areis magnis late

leviter elevatis et puncturis lineatim confertim dispositis 



marojinatis. Long. 54, lat. 44 lines. 



The style of markings on the elytra of this species distinguishes 



it at once from all other Paropses known to me. The markings 



consist of large (and small intermingled with them) bright yellow 



unpunctured spaces, most of which are outlined on all their
