Gen. CASNONIA, Latr. 

 Casnonia l^ta, n. sp. 



Rufo vel pallide rufo testacea, capite nigro, elytris fascia media 

 communi lata, ad latera postice ducta Isete caerulea, antennis fuscis 

 articulis quatuor basalibus rufo testaceis, pedibus etiam fuscis 

 femorum basi rufescentibus ; abdomine nigro; palpis infuscatis; caput 

 impunctatum ; prothorax tenui, valde elongatus, post medium leviter 

 ampliatus, ad basim strangulatus, convexiusculus, tenuissime longi- 

 tudinaliter in medio canaliculatus, baud distincte transversim 

 plicatulus, setis longis flavescentibus obsitus ; elytra a basi apice 

 punctis setam rigidam ferentibus seriatis praedita. 



This species is evidently closely allied to C. senegalensis in shape 

 and colouring, but it differs by the series of rigid setae which are 

 found on the prothorax and on the elytra, and which are wanting 

 in the former, in which all the joints of antennae are red ; the 

 prothorax is transversely plicate. 



Length 7-8 mm. ; width 14-2 mm.
