138 EROTYLIDAE. 



in E. octopustulata , but are of a luteous yellow. The very 

 indistinct striae are quite obliterated over these yellow 

 spots, the inner one or base spot is oval, just reaching 

 the base itself, the subhumeral spot, much smaller, just 

 touches the margin; the post-medial spot, large, almost 

 touches the suture and margin. Legs pitchy , femora smooth.

Shining black and finely punctured, prothorax trans- 

 verse, narrower in front than behind, extremely finely 

 but very closely sculptured with a stellate and almost 

 alutaceous puncturing , the disk rather convex, with the two 

 large roundish red spots placed near but not touching the 

 front margiu . Base sinuate not margined , except near the 

 angles , some distinct punctures indicating the basal foveas 

 and along the base , smaller ones at the hind angles. The 

 elytra have two large spots (recalling those of Episcapha 

 glabra) y the basal pair not touching the base , and both 

 pairs are narrowly separated by the suture nor do they 

 touch the margins, underneath, the prosternum is not 

 much compressed but results in an acute point in front , 

 wide and slightly emarginate at the end of the process , 

 the surface of the raised part shining, uneven , with irre- 

 gular wrinkles running across it. Metasternum with a fine 

 carina from the middle to the abdominal process, also 

 punctured on each side of the carina. Abdomen smooth 

 and shining, punctured very finely, more thickly so at 

 the apex and at its base.
