Description of /S^efiz^s ossium, v. insularis, var. nov.f 

 This variety differs from the type form in being decidedly smaller, narrower, and 

 more shining ; the elytra especially are narrower in proportion to the thorax, and 

 have the depressions much less marked ; the punctuation of the thorax, elytra, 

 and hind body is not quite so thick ; and the femora have the ring of black less 

 developed.
