SYNOPSIS OF TllK I.AMIIN.T:. lUo 



Subgenus .lloiiileiiia. 



In addition to the aUove-nanied ciiaractcrs the f'ollowiiiL;- may be 

 mentioned : the first and second joints ot* tlie hind tarsi arc ulahrous 

 at middle, the second with a narrow, sj)ongy, pnhescent space each 

 side, the tliird entirely spongy ])ubescent. The anterior and middle 

 tarsi have the first three joints spongy pubescent beneath, the j)ubes- 

 cence divided by a narrow line. 



The two sjjecies belonging here are separated as follows : 



Tliorax qundrate, or a little wider than louj;, the sides with a feotile tubercle; 

 elytra sparsely and regularly punctured at iiasal half, wrinkled at apex, 

 the sides arcuately deflexed aiiiiiilsttiiiu. 



Thorax cylindrical, usually longer than wide, without trace of spine or tu1)ercle; 

 elytra not conspicuously punctate, usually smooth, but feebly shining, 

 sometimes with deep longitudinal wrinkles, the sides abruptly deliexed 

 and obtusely margined near the base apprciiisiiill. 



Subgenus C'oIIaploryx. 



The vestiture of the tarsi is variable, and by it and other structures 

 the species may be separated as follows : 



Scape of antennse and legs smooth 2. 



Three basal joints of antennse and legs coarsely punctured 7. 



2. First joint of hind tarsus without any spongy pubescence beneath 3. 



First joint of hind tarsus spongy pubescent over almost the entire surface- -8. 

 ■i. Second joint of hind tarsus with a small spongy pubescent space each side- -4. 



Second joint of hind tarsus without trace of spongy pubescence 6. 



4. Thoracic spines long and acute, directed strongly ujiward and backward. 



Elytra with slightly depressed disc, the sides abruptly declivous, obtusely 

 margined near the humeri ; thorax with veiy few punctures- -$(i^;a!!t. 



Thoi'acic si)ines small or tuberculiform, sometimes barely perceptible 5. 



.5. Thorax with numerous coarse and fine punctures intermixed over the entire 

 surface, the coarser punctures more numerous near the l)ase and a])ex. 



^•einipuiictatuiii. 

 Tht)rax almost entirely smooth, a few j)unctures at most, along the base and 

 apex. 

 Elytra with extremely few i)uuctures, these placed at the middle of the sides 



and under the humeri la'vigaliiiii. 



Elytra with numerous (loarse punctures extending two-thirds to ajiex, the 



deflexed portion jjunctured nearly to the apex ariiiatiiiii. 



6. Anterior tarsi %, with the fii-st three joints spongy pubescent beueatli : thorax 



coarsely punctured with a feeble lateral tubercle ubIUKiiiii. 



Anterior tarsi % icith the first three jointx spoiiqi/ piibescent beneath ,"■■ 9 with the 

 third joint bearing a spongy pubescent space each side ; thorax punc- 

 tured at ajiex and base : the lateral spine small but acute. 



spolialuin.
