17s EPISOMUS OKACILICORNIS. 



pointed at the tip , aud nearly as long as the four apical 

 joints of the funicle taken together. 



The thorax is nearly as long as broad at the base , and 

 becomes but very little narrower towards the front margin 

 Avhich is straight ; the sides also are straight , the base 

 bisinuate. The disk of the thorax is transversely wrinkled 

 and provided on the middle with a longitudinal groove 

 which is interrupted by the transverse wrinkles ; on each 

 side of the median groove a longitudinal fovea is present 

 before the base aud a less distinct rounded one before the 

 anterior margin. Moreover the thorax is provided with 

 small black dots. No visible scutellum. 



The basal margin of each elytron is strongly curved 

 forwards ; the shoulders are prominent and oblique. The 

 elytra are provided with longitudinal rows of strong punc- 

 tures; these rows are irregular on the middle of the back, 

 owing to irregular swellings of the 2nd to 4th interstices. 

 On the bottom of the punctures and on the interstices 

 black dots are present, which may also be found on the 

 undersurface and on the legs. 



A single specimen from Kotta Zuydewijn near Öolok 

 (J. H. Schagen van Leeuwen). 



A smaller specimen (measuring not more than 11 mm.) 

 from the same locality differs in some respects from the 

 above described specimen: the color is somewhat greener; 

 the wrinkles on the middle of the thorax are less distinct 

 and less numerous , and do not interrupt the median groove 

 which shows a tine black line on the bottom. Moreover 

 in this specimen a punciiform saitellum ü present. Never- 

 theless 1 am convinced that these two specimens are not 

 specifically distinct from one another.
