and regularly striate, the striae not quite reaching to the apex and 

 becoming obsolete at the scutellar region and toward the lateral 

 margin; intervals flat, densely, transversely rugose, rather densely, 

 finely punctate, and becoming finely scabrous at the apex. Ab- 

 domen beneath densely and rather coarsely ocellate-punctate, be- 

 coming somewhat longitudinally rugose on the last segment, which 

 is broadly rounded at apex; posterior coxae with the posterior 

 margin deeply concave externally; presternum and middle of body 

 strongly and densely scabrous; femora and tibiae finely but not 

 densely rugose. 



Length, 7 mm. ; width, 3.25 mm.

PHILANTHAXIA ELONGATA. new species. 



Oblong, more elongate than either Philanthaxia ohscura or P. 

 cyancscens, head, pronotum and elytra of a uniform dark-reddish, 

 coppery color with a slight violaceous tinge, glabrous ; beneath dark 

 bronzy and very sparsely clothed with short, recumbent, cinereous 

 pubescence. 



Head flattened, surface densely, strongly reticulate, the reticula- 

 tion forming a network of small, irregular sunken areas ; eyes large, 

 prominent, extending slightly beyond the pronotum on either side; 

 epistoma wide, anterior margin broadly, arcuately emarginate. Pro- 

 notum convex, nearly two times as wide as long, slightly narrower 

 in front than behind; sides feebly arcuate and strongly sinuate near 

 posterior angles, which are produced and acute; anterior margin 

 arcuately emarginate, with the median lobe broadly rounded; base 

 truncate ; surface with an obsolete depression on each side near pos- 

 terior angles, punctation similar to that on the head. Scutellum 

 subcordiform, truncate in front, wider than long; surface finely 

 granulated and feebly concave. Elytra slightly wider than pro- 

 notum at base ; sides sinuate behind the humeri and feebly diverging 

 to the apical third, then obliquely attenuate to the tips, which are 

 separately, narrowly rounded; lateral margin finely serrate; each 

 elytron with a transverse depression situated a little below the base 

 and becoming deeper externally; surface deeply and regularly 

 striate, the striae not quite reaching to the apex and becoming some- 

 what confused at the scutellar region ; intervals flat, densely, trans- 

 versely rugose, rather densely finely punctate, and becoming finely 

 scabrous at the apex. Abdomen beneath densely and coarsely 

 ocellate-punctate, becoming longitudinally rugose on the last seg- 

 ment, which is rather broadly rounded at apex ; posterior coxae Avith
