punctured and the interstices strongly transversely rugose, the 

 rugosities occupying the entire outer half of the elytra down 

 to the apex, legs flavous, the apical half of the posterior femora 

 more or less distinctly aeneous. 



One of the small species and allied to C. inconstans t Lefèv. 

 but differing in the close and strong punctuation of the head 

 and thorax and the lateral rugosities of the elytra which are 

 regular and extending to the apex. Two specimens are before me. 



8. Coytiera latefasoiata , sp. n. — Obscure piceous, the ter- 

 minal joints of the antennae, the apex of the tibiae and the 

 tarsi black, thorax impunctate, elytra finely and closely punc- 

 tured, flavous, each elytron with a broad obscure purplish band, 

 occupying the entire disc. 



Length 8 mill. 



Elongate and parallel , the head sparingly and finely punc- 

 tured, fulvo-piceous, the epistome emarginate at the middle and 

 at the sides, the eyes sinuate, antennae extending to the middle 

 of the elytra, black, the lower four joints fulvous, the third 

 joint twice as long as the second , the others rather longer , 

 thorax transverse, twice as broad as long, of equal width, the 

 sides with a narrow reflexed margin, somewhat constricted an- 

 teriorly . the anterior angles acute , the surface impunctate , 

 coloured like the head, with a very obsolete fovea at each side, 

 the basal margin stained with piceous, scutellum fulvous, elytra 

 not wider at the base than the thorax, distinctly and somewhat 

 closely punctured, the suture costate at the apical portion, the 

 entire disc occupied by a broad obscure purplish band, leaving 

 the sides and apex broadly and the suture narrowly flavous ; 

 below dark fulvous or obscure piceous, the femora more or less 

 and the tibiae and tarsi entirely piceous, nearly black, tibiae 

 carinate, claws appendiculate, the presternum narrowed between 

 the coxae, its base truncate, mesosternum transversely convex, 

 the anterior margin of the thoracic episternum concave.
