The white pubescent lateral mai'gin of the elytra is strongly con- 

 trasted with the deep black of the rest of the surface, and forms a 

 sharply-defined border, extending from the 8th rib to the margin, but 

 it does not quite reach the base, and is there accompanied by a small 

 spot lying between the 7th and 8th ribs, and a larger rounded and 

 more densely tomentose spot situated between the 5th and 7th ribs, 

 both of which latter are curved, and the 8th depressed to form a 

 rounded pit for its reception. The punctuation of the thorax and 

 under-side is very similar to that of the two species named. 



Anthia pulcheebima. — Gracilis, elytris elongato-ovatis convexis apice 

 sinuato-truncatis. Nigra supra opaca subtus nitida ; capite fere sicut in A. 

 biguttata (Bon.) elongato, oculis parum prominentibus, confluenter punctato

 vittas septemcostatis foveisque duabus ochraceo-pubescentibtts, prima discoidali

This beautiful species differs from all oi\iev AntMce in colours and 

 marliings, and in the sinuate-truncate apex of the elytra. In the 

 length of its labrum, however, and general form, it agrees with Anthia 

 better than with CycloJoha, which has similarly-truncated elytra. 

 The tawny or ochreous-red pile which forms the central thoracic vitta 

 and the sutural and marginal vittse of the elytra, is long, dense, and 

 laid transversely on a plane surface, and the ochreous discoidal spots 

 lie in fovese which break the continuity of the narrow shining costae, 

 the anterior spot occupying two, and the posterior four, of the costse ; 

 the opaque interstices of the costae form exceedingly deep and sharply- 

 cut grooves.
