07 2 REVISION OF THE GENUS PAROPSIS, 



subtiliu.s crebrius subrugulose punctulato; prothorace (juam 

 longiori ut 2|- ad 1 latiori, antice fortiter angustato, abapice 

 longe pone medium dilatato, pone apicem transversim baud 

 impresso, crebrius sat fortiter sat rugulose (ad iatera valde 

 rugulose) punctulato, lateribus modice arcuatis nullo modo 

 deplanatis, angulis posticis valde obtusis; scutello laevi for- 

 titer convexo; elytris subgrosse seriatim minus crebre 

 punctulatis (ad Iatera etiam grossius, apicem versus multo 

 magis crebre), interstitiis in disco baud (ad Iatera et versus 

 apicem sat perspicue) rugulosis, sub callum humeralem dis- 

 tincte depressis, pone basin transversim late vix impressis, 

 parte marginali a disco baud distincta, calli bumeralis mar- 

 gine interno a sutura quam ab elytrorum margine laterali 

 multo magis distanti, segmento ventrali basali sublaivi. 

 Long. 4i, lat. 3 lines. 

 Rather closely resembling F. pustulosa superficially but readily 

 distinguishable from it inter alia by its prothorax being not at all 

 explanate laterally, mvxcb narrower in front and much more 

 strongly and less smoothly punctulate; also by its elytra being 

 evidently more coarsely and less closely punctulate, more regularly 

 seriate, with much smaller and differently shaped verrucse, and 

 having their marginal part not distinct from the discal (in pus- 

 tulosa there is an evident though very narrow lateral outturned 

 portion especially noticeable near the apex). It should be noted 

 that in this species the third antennal joint is slightly longer 

 than the fourth, but too slightly to justify placing it among the 

 species with the third joint " markedly" longer.

Late ovalis (fere subcircularis), minus convexa, altitudine majori 

 (a latere visa) contra elytrorum marginem medium posita; 

 sat nitida; subtus nigro-picea; supra (antennis pedibusque 

 inclusis) rufescens, elytris plus minusve obscure piceo-adum- 

 bratis; capite sat crebre vix aspcre punctulato; prothorace
