basal margin of the elytni, the scutellum and the Ijreast l>lack, 

 tliorax finely and closely punctured, the basal margin produced 

 into a tootli, elytra with an ohliquc fold across the suture below 

 the base, minutely punctured. 

 Length 12 lines. 



Head impunctatt;, eyes large, frontal tubercles trigonate, (dy- 

 peus with a central ridge, labrum piceous, paljii slender, an- 

 tennae two-thirds the length of the elytra, flavous, the last joint 

 and the apex of the preceding two joints black, ])asal joint long, 

 second one short, third, shorter than the first joint, following

 equal width, the sides slightly rounded, the surface very closely 

 and finely punctured, slightly wrinkled, the posterior margin

 scutellum, elytra rather convex, more finely punctured than the 

 thorax, pale testaceous, the basal margin narrowly Ijlack, this 

 colour extending downwards at the sides below the shoulders, 

 each elytron is raised below the base into a short oblique ridge 

 or fold near the suture, the latter is likewise raised at the same 

 place, apex of the elytra truncate, their epipleurae broad and 

 continued to the apex , black at the basal portion only, breast

A single specimen of this curiously structured species is con- 

 tained in this collection, as the insect is glued to a card I am 

 not able to say with certainty whether the coxal cavities are 

 closed or open, ])ut the general appearance and the broail elytral 

 epipleurae agree best with Candezea; no istance of a similarly 

 structured thorax amongst the P/iijlop/Kuja has come under my 

 notice, but whether this is a character peculiar to the male only 

 or not I am unable to say. 



149. Candezea impressicollis, n. sj). — Elongate, pale flavous, 

 thorax transversely sulcate , iinely punctured, elytra distinctly 

 and extremely closely jiunctured.
