1 have seen two specimens, one has very much darker elytra 

 and the posterior margin of the large spot is wanting. The type 

 of the genus {I). piicUerala, 1. c. pi. XI, f. 2) has the elytra vei'y 

 conspicuously punctured.

The genus Necinjrus contains a number of mostly dark-coloured 

 species differentiated by cliaracters didicult to describe and depen- 

 ding mostly on the sculpture. The second joint of the funicle is 

 longer than the first, and the scutellum is small, rounded and 

 raised above the elytra in nearly all. 



244. N. restrictus, n. sp. Oblongua, niger, squamis adpressis silaceis 

 adspersus, aliis nigris fasciculatis tnberculis aitis ; rostrum versus apioem 

 consjjicue latins ct subtiliter punctatum ; antennae ferrugineae ; protborax 

 utrinque rotundatus, apice tubulatus, disco remote punctatus, sextubercu- 

 latiis, 2 apice 4 in medio ti'ansversim sitis, in medio subcarinatus ; elytra 

 lineatim punctata, punctis remotis, tuberculis oblongis ])lurimis munita; 

 corpus infra pedesque squamis suberectis griseis minoribus vestiti. Long. 

 9 mm.

The elytra more nearly parallel at the sides gives tliis species 

 a less oval outline than in the last, and the sculpture of the 

 prothorax and elytra is different. Roth species may be compared
