ampliate; elytra much less convex, less rounded on sides, 3rd and 

 5th interstices much less strongly raised. 



Note. — Attention may be drawn to the angustate posterior part 

 of the sides of the prothorax; if viewed from a point above, and 

 a little to the side of the insect these appear sinuate, but, if from 

 the opposite side, across the disc, do not show any sinuosity; the 

 same thing may be observed in some other species. 



Epicosmus elongatus, Castelnau. 



Eudema elovgatum, Casteln., I.e. 146: E2ncosmus longicollisy 

 Chaud., Mon. p. 132 (Note). 



Closely allied to E. alterncms, Casteln., and only appearing to 

 differ by elytral spots redder; form narrower; prothorax narrower 

 (3-5 X 3-8 mm.), more obliquely narrowed to apex, posterior part 

 of sides far more strongly sinuate, basal angles less strongly 

 dentate, base narrower (2*6 mm.); elytra similar, but less rounded 

 on sides (9'2 x 5*5 mm.). Length 15-5 mm.

For differences from E. australis, Dej., vide Chaudoir's note. 

 This seems to be E. lo7}gicollis, Chaud. It also agrees so well 

 with Castelnau's description of E. elongatus that I think it must 

 be considered to be that species. The evident agreement of the 

 species before me with Castelnau's description of E. elongatus, 

 and the fact that Castelnau's measurement ("Length 7J'") is too 

 large for E. australis, Dej., (Length 12-13 mm. according to 

 Chaudoir) induce me to think E. elongatus must differ from E. 

 australis, though placed under that species by Chaudoir, but with- 

 out any reasons being given in support of their identity.

 across eyes), eyes prominent; prothorax finely shagreened, trun-
