I have taken for the type, the specimen most plainly mar- 

 ked, between it and the above varieties, there are still some 

 intermediate forms. I cannot recognise the present species a- 

 mongst the many described by M.^ Baly; on account of the 

 filiform not compressed antennae it must be placed in this 

 author's section C. The coloration of its upper surface in con- 

 nection with the basal elevation and depression of the elytra, 

 will help to distinguish the present species.
