septimo praecedentibus latiore, latitudine perparum longiore, 8-10 

 latitudine fere asqualibus, at articulo ultimo 10° baud angustiore 

 sad apice acuminato ; caput inter oculos longitudinaliter sulcatum ; 

 protborax transversus, apice modice angustatus, supra deplanatus, in 

 medio profonde canaliculatus, pube sericea flavescente dense indutus, 

 lateribus sex spinosis, spinis in circulum dispositis, pedunculo fere 

 lato communi orientibus, longis, at sexta antrorsum posita reliquis 

 breviore profunde bifida omnibus a medio apice nigris ; elytra fere 

 parallelia, seriato punctata, punctis latis profundisque, pilis flaves- 

 cente sericeis erectis, seriatis baud dense vestita, spinis fere aequa- 

 libus longis, a basi nigrescentibus, spinis apicalibus reliquis vix 

 minoribus. 



Long. 3^ mm. ; lat. 2 mm. 



This species is closely allied to D. vicinalis, P6r., but it is slightly 

 smaller, the spines are longer, and all the antennal joints are con- 

 colorous, whereas in D. vicinalis the four basal joints are deeply 

 infuscate or black.

DiCLADISPA EXASPERANS, n. Sp. 



Flavo-testacea, nitida, prothoracis medio, nigro bivittato ; elytris 

 obscurioribus, lateraliter subinfuscatis ; corpore subtus cum pedibus 

 pallidis ; antennae breviusculae rufo testaceae, articulis basalibus 

 duobus vel tribus nigris, vix sericeo pubescentes, articulis 7-10° 

 incrassatus 7° latitudine dimidio longiore, 8-10 longitudine latitudine 

 fere aequalibus, ultimo praecedenti nonnihil brevior, apice acumi- 

 nato ; caput in medio vix punctatum ; protborax antice nonnihil 

 attenuatus, supra depressus, profunde punctatus punctis fere con- 

 fluentibus, in medio anguste levigatus, pube sericea baud densa 

 sparsim indutus, lateribus quinque spinosis, spinis, e pedunculo 

 communi orientibus, flavis, spina posticali breve, profunde bifida, 

 reliquis longis ; elytra seriatim foveato punctata, subdeplanata, setis 

 erectis pallide flavis seriatis subsparsim obsita, spinis dorsalibus 

 modice elongatis, obscure testaceis, marginalibus dorsalibus longi- 

 oribus, pallide flavis. 



Long. 81 mm. ; lat. 2 mm. 



Eesembles both D. malverna and D. vicinalis, but is at once 

 distinguished by having 5 spines only, instead of 6, on the sides of 

 the protborax.
