COPTOPS INTERMISSA. 8U 



Glossy black; rostrum elongate, linear, except a little 

 bulging out at the insertion of the antennae; eyes large, 

 somewhat approximate above ; prothorax longer than broad , 

 finely punctured, narrowed at the apex" then expending 

 obliquely and distinctly contracted before the middle , from 

 thence it gradually broadens to the base; scutellum sub- 

 triangular ; elytra subglobose , deeply striate-punctate , punc- 

 tures minute; tarsi rather short. 



An unnamed species from Bombay in my collection 

 is very like the above, only the latter has the elytra 

 very faintly striate. For contour it may be likened to 

 Apion pisi. 



Coptops intermissa , sp. u. 



C. breviuscula, sat depressa, canescenti-pubescens ; ely- 

 tris singulis fasciis flexuosis tribus , fulvo-marginatis , orna- 

 tis. — Long. 7 lin. 



Rather short and somewhat depressed, especially the 

 elytra, covered mostly with a pale greyish pubescence, 

 but tinged with fulvous on the head and prothorax, the 

 latter with five rudimentary tubercles on the disc; scutel- 

 lum rounded posteriorly; elytra with irregular scattered 

 punctures, partially hidden by the pubescence, each with 

 three flexuous light brown bands, not meeting at the su- 

 ture, iihe posterior the least marked, and each more or 

 less bordered with fulvous; body beneath with a warm 

 greyish pubescence. 



AUied to C. bidens Pabr. but besides coloration , it 

 is less convex, the prothorax less tuberculate at the 

 sides, and the punctuation indistinct. 



Philicus , n. g. 



Caput antice quadratum ; tuberes antennifera divergentes, 

 basi approximata ; antennce subtus finibriatse , articulo tertio 

 longitudine scapo sequali. Prothorax transversus, spina
