Differs from most of its congeners in its larger eyes leaving a 

 comparatively narrow strip of bead behind them, but agreeing Avith 

 tliem in the short pygidium and the remarkable development of the 

 pal]>i in the cS . 



Calycella giiineensis, sp. n. 



Black, except for the labruni, the two basal joints of the antennae, tlie 

 underside of the head, and the palpi, and the anterior and intermediate femora 

 and tibiae, which are flavous. Pubescence cinereous or brownish, forming by 

 its density and by the direction and the degree in whith it is depressed a 

 somewhat irregular and varying pattern, the most obvious feature of which is 

 a post-median pale bar acros.s the elytra, wkich is thrown into relief by a bar 

 of sparser dark pubescence in front of it and a broad dark apical patch. 



Head subtriangular, i. e. the sides almost straight from the tip of the jaws 

 to the posterior angles, the line broken by a small rectangular projection 

 between the eye and the base of the mandible, and by the slight convexity of 

 tlie eye itself ; the vertex, forming the base of the triangle, strongly arcuate. 

 Antennae short, only the last three joints extending beyond the posterior angles 

 of the head, 2nd joint elongate, cylindrical, 3rd about as long as 2nd, but 

 obconic, 4th a little longer than 3rd, 5th to 10th subequal, strongly serrate. 

 Last joint of maxillary palpi very large, the inner side short, the outer long, 

 and the inferior face much wider tlian the superior face, so that the apical face, 

 which is excavate, is oval and strongly oblique, giving the joint a shovel-shaped 

 appearance. Thorax strongly transverse, anterior angles completely rounded, 

 posterior angles more obtuse ; disc with a few feeble depres-sions, with a much 

 larger and stronger depression each side of the basal median lobe ; surface 

 rather densely and finely punctate and pubescent. Scutelluni small, rounded 

 at apex, partly concealed by bas^al lobe of thorax. Elytra widest at base, 

 thence slightly narrowed posteriorly, each sejarately and somewhat acutely 

 rounded at apex; the humeri are rathtr strongly elevated, and the scutellar 

 and sutural areas depiested ; surface densely and finely punctate, tie punctures 

 on the anterior half forming transverse or oblique ridges, strongest behind 

 the shoulders. Pygidium nearly flat, very short, scarcely projecting beyond 

 the hypopygium, and rounded at apex.
