670 REVISION OF THE GENUS PAROPSIS, 



punctulato ; prothorace quam longiori ut 2^ ad 1 latiori, ab 



apice paullo ultra medium dilatato, pone apicem transversim 



distincte impress©, in disco minus fortiter minus crebre baud 



rugulose (ad latera grosse rugulose) punctulato, lateribus sat 



arcuatis baud deplanatis, angulis posticis obtusis; scutello 



punctulato: elytris sub callum humeralem leviter depressis, 



pone basin vix impressis, sat crebre fortius subseriatim (ad 



latera magis grosse) punctulatis, verrucis sat distinctis 



seriatim instructis, interstitiis latera apicemque versus sat 



rugulosis (rugulis nonnullis transversis plus minusve elonga- 



tis et continuis latera versus intermixtis), parte marginali 



ut P. foveatce, calli humeralis margine interno ut P. foveatce 



posito; segmento ventrali basali sparsim subtilius punctulato. 



Long. 3i, lat. 2i lines. 



Very much like P. foveata superficially, but differing from it 



iiitar alia by its considerably smaller size, the sides of its prothorax 



not at all explanate, the much more numerous and better defined 



verructe of its elytra and the extreme faintness (almost absence) 



of the subbasal impression of the elytra. The transverse rugu- 



losities of the elytra have a slight tendency to simulate the 



continuous wheal-like ridge that forms a conspicuous character in 



some species of Paropsis (e.g., transversalis.) 



N.S. Wales; taken by Mr. Lea near Whitt-on. 



P. CRIBRATA, sp.nov. 



/"*. proprice simillima ; difFert corpore minus nitido, elytris ad 

 latera quam in disco vix magis rufis, horum verrucis nigris 

 magis numerosis magis perspicue seriatis; prothorace aspere 

 multo magis fortiter punctulato, elytris pone basin baud 

 distincte impressis, his multo magis subtiliter (ad latera quam 

 in disco baud magis fortiter) punctulatis; cetera ut P. jjropria. 

 Long. 4i-4|-, lat. 31-3 1 lines. 

 Near P. propria, but very readily separable from it by the 

 characters cited above; in /-*. j^ropria the puncturation in the sub- 

 basal impression of the elytra is conspicuously coarser than on the 

 general surface of the disc, while in the present species (there being
