652 REVISION OF THE OEXUS PAR0P8IS, 



P. RUSTK'A, Sp.nOV. 



^. Ovalis, minus lata; modice convexa, altitudine majori (a 



latere visa) longe ante elyti-orum marginem medium posita; 



minus nitida; rufo-brunnea (elytrorum verrucis numei^osis 



sat pequaliter, nee regulariter seriatim, dispositis, vittulisque 



nonnullis indeterminatis et sternis epipleurisque, nigris; 



antennis apicem versus infuscatis); capite prothoraceque 



fere ut P. Iceviventris sed hoc magis transverso (ut 2| ad 1) 



lateribus vix deplanatis minus fortiter arcuatis; elytrorum 



depressione humerali, sulculo submarginali (hoc in medio 



minus abrupte interrupto), impressione subbasali et epi- 



pleuris ut P. Cluipidai; elytris sat fortiter subseriatim sat 



crebre punctulatis, interstitiis in disco vix (verrucis negiectis) 



rugulosis, parte marginali sat grosse rugulosa; segmento 



ventrali basali sul:)tiliter punctulato. Long. 5, lat. 4 lines 



(vix). 



Near P. sublimbata, Chp., but at once distinguishable by the 



very much coarser puncturation of the elytra as well as by their 



greatest height (viewed from the side) being markedl}' nearer to 



the front and by the elytral verrucas being manifestly larger, 



more conspicuous, more numerous, and less I'egularly seriate. The 



elytral apex (viewed from the side) projects as in P. Chapuisi.
