200 ir. S. GORIIAM 



ratlicr strong middle lohe. Tlie sciilelhini is li;irdly Iraiisverse, 

 but somewhat triangular. The striae on the elytra are excessi- 

 vely fine, scarcely at all impressed, and the whole surface aj)- 

 pears most minutely punctured. The underside and legs vary 

 from pitchy to Ijlack in an undefined manner; the latter are 

 long, with the tibiae very nearly simple, i. e. very little wideinM] 

 at their apices, and they and the tarsi are yellowish. 



Three examples. 



33. Cyrtolriplax? diaperina, n. sp. 



Oblongo-ovata antice et poslice attenuata,, crebre siihtiliter punc- 

 tata, nigra; elytris fasciis diiahus flams, ad mturam interruptis , 

 una latiore basali, humerum cingente, intus valde dentata, altera 

 subapicali vix arcuata; antennis prothoracis longitudine, clava 

 elongata, articulis qiiinque ultimis gradatim crassioribus. Long. 

 3-b millim.

Head and thorax pitchy ì)lack; ecjually, distinctly but minu- 

 tely punctured, the thorax narrowing much in front has acute 

 front angles, the sides are very slightly curved, and finely mar- 

 gined. The elytra are finely Ijut very distinctly pimctate-striate, 

 the interstices being very minutely punctured. The fasciae leave 

 a black cross, and black apex, the anterior basal fasciae are 

 more widely separated than the suljapical one , and the width 

 of the middle black band is greater than that of the suture, the 

 callus is black not separated from the l)ase. The inner side of 

 the basal fascia is twice indented but sometimes especially in 

 smaller specimens, the denticulation is ol)SCure, the sul)apical 

 fascia is nearly straight, often a little arcuate, but angular 

 externally and not very regular. The legs are pitchy black with 

 pitchy-red tarsi. 



This is plainly not a true Cyrtolriplax. The antennae have an 

 elongate 5-jointed club, closely articulated, the joints transverse, 

 but the seventh joint is little w idcr than that preceeding it. The 

 palpi are not much developed, a simple triangular apical joint. 

 The tibiae are very little widened ; the mentum is pentagonal.
