196 REVISION OF THE GENUS PAROPSIS. 



longiori ut 7 ad 3 latiori, fere ut caput (sed ad latera multo 



magis grosse et hie impresso) punctulato; elytris ad latera 



ter emarginatis (partium emarginatarum finibus obtuse angu- 



latis), subseriatim (serierum numero circiter '20) fortiter 



punctulatis; an tennis brevibus, apicera versus sat compressis; 



prosterno inter coxas longitudinaliter leviter impresso. 



Long. 2 J, lat. If lines. 



This remarkable Paropsis differs from all others known to me 



by the peculiar outline of its elytra. This is laterally prominent 



immediately behind the shoulder, then concave to about the end 



of the front one-third of the whole outline, where it is obtusel}^ 



angularly prominent, then concave again to somew^hat beyond. 



the middle of the whole outline, where it is again angularly 



prominent, then slightly concave to the apex. Although the 



puncturation of the elytra is far from being regularly seriate 



throughout, it is so on the greater part of the disc, and therefore 



this species ought to be placed (since its elytra are non-verrucose) 



in my Group iv. (and also it falls in Chapuis' Groupe iv., although 



the characters of that group are not altogether identical with 



those of my GroujD iv.). In my sul^division of Group iv. 



(P.L.S.N.S.W. 1896, p. 643) it must be referred to Subgroup i., 



from all the previously described members of which it differs by the 



" strongly marked character " (placing it in the subgroup) being 



the remarkable outline of the elytra.
