with two black patches at the base — one on each side — 

 which unite together or with a smaller third spot , at a short 

 distance behind the scutellum. Between these basal patches and 

 the median band as well as towards the apex there are nume- 

 rous minute black points. 



162. Pterolophia socia, sp. n. Precedenti similis, sed fascia 

 transversa elijtrorum angustiar i, prothorace supra uniformiter pu- 

 bescente, haud maculis minutis nigris inferrupto. Elytris pube 

 flavo-grisea haud nigro-punctata; antennis totis griseo-pubescentibus. 

 Long. 7 Y.,-9 mm. 



This species much resembles the last; but the greyish or 

 yellowish-grey pubescence of the prothorax is not interrupted 

 by minute black spots ; the transverse black fascia at the middle 

 of the elytra is much narrower ; the yellowish-grey pubescence 

 between the basal spots and the median band and between the 

 latter and the apex is not sprinkled with small black points. 

 The antennae are entirely covered with a greyish pubescence. 



163 Pterolophia alboplagiata, sp. n. (PL I, fig. 12). Parva, fusca; 

 pube fulvo-brumiea vestita, prothoracis lateribus, et fascia trans- 

 versa ad medium elytrorum, albo-cinereis ; prothorace crebre ely- 

 trisque dense et fortiter punctatis; his utrisque prope basiti tuberculo 

 nigro-piloso instructis. Long 7 mm. 



Garin Mts. (district of Gheba). 



Prothorax closely punctured, with a pubescence which- is 

 fulvous-brown along the middle of the disk, and ashy-w^hite at 

 the sides. Elytra with their sides sub-parallel for the anterior 

 two-thirds, thence narrowed to the apex; very distinctly, strongly, 

 and rather closely punctured; each with a well marked centro- 

 basal tubercle surmounted by a fascicle of black hairs; with a 

 transverse whitish fascia which reaches from the outer margin 

 to near the suture and is much narrowed at its inner extremity; 

 with some small and irregular spots of whitish pubescence near 

 the base and apex. The legs have an ashy-grey pubescence. 

 The antennae are a little shorter than the body, with the last 

 three joints, and the apices of joints 3, 4, 5 and 8 fuscous, the 

 remainder fulvous or cinereous.
