no distinct subbasal impression) there is no discal space notable 

 for the coarseness of its puncturation. The whole punctura- 

 tion of tlie elytra is manifestly finer. I have two examples of 

 Faropsis differing from P. cribrala in their smaller size and less 

 numerous elytral verrucas which, moreover, are concolorous with 

 the derm. I have little doubt that they represent a distinct 

 very close species, but I refrain from naming them without 

 observing more specimens.

^. Sat late ovata; sat fortiter convexa, altitudine majori (a 



latere visa) contra elytrorum marginem medium posita; 



minus nitida; obscure rufa, antennis (basi excepta) corpore 



subtus pedibus capitis parte antica scutello et elytrorum 



verrucis piceis; P. j^roprUe affinis; differt prothorace ab apice 



manifesto ultra medium dilatato, pone apicem (hoc magis 



angustato) haud impresso, angulis posticis magis rotundatis; 



scutello subla?vi; elytris paullo magis crebre magis subtiliter 



punctulatis, pone basin haud impressis, verrucis vix elevatis 



nigris ut superficies punctulatis, parte marginali a disco haud 



distincta; cetera ut P. propria. Long. 4, lat. 3|- lines. 



Resembles /'. pt-opria and P. crihrata but differs from both 



inter alia by the marginal portion of its elytra (especially behind) 



continuous with the discal portion so that there is no longitudinal 



concavity but the lateral and apical declivous parts descend quite 



evenly without being outturned at the margin. The puncturation 



of the elytra continuous over the verruca? is also a notable 



character and vei-y rare in Parojisis.
