ELAPHIDION COMPRESSIPENNE. new species 



Female. — Narrowly elongate, slightly flattened above, uniformly 

 yellowish brown, legs and antennae slightly paler, subopaque, and 

 uniformly clothed with inconspicuous gray pubescence. 



Head sparsely, irregularly punctate, somewhat rugose, sparsely, 

 irregularly clothed with moderatelj^ long, recumbent, grayish pubes- 

 cence, front distinctly wider than long, uneven, with a narrow, 

 longitudinal groove between the antennal tubercles, which are widely 

 separated, but not elevated ; eyes deeply emarginate, separated from 

 each other on the top by twice the width of the upper lobe. Antenna 

 considerably shorter than the body, finely, densely punctate, rather 

 densely clothed with recumbent, grayish pubescence, the pubescence 

 denser on the apical joints, and with a few long, erect hairs on the 

 underside of the basal joints; joints not spinose at apices; first joint 

 robust, arcuate, feebly clavate, slightly longer than the third joint, 

 which is only feebly longer than the fourth; eleventh joint subequal 

 in length to the tenth. 



Pronotum feebly wider than long, and about equal in width at 

 base and apex ; sides rather strongly, arcuately rounded ; disk slightly 

 uneven, vaguely, transversely depressed in front of middle, and 

 without glabrous spots ; surface rather densely, coarsely, irregularly 

 punctate, and rather densely clothed with long, recumbent, inconspic- 

 uous, gray pubescence. Scutellum small, broadly triangular, curvi- 

 linear and sparsely pubescent. 



Elytra four times as long as pronotum, and at base slightly wider 

 than pronotum at middle; sides parallel from base to apical fifth, 

 then arcuately narrowed to the tips, which are separately, broadly 

 rounded, but not spinose ; disk feebly, broadly flattened along sutural 

 margins ; surface coarsely, densely, uniformly punctate, and densely,
