4 GLYCYPHANA SALEYERI. 



spiue at the sutural angle; each elytron provided with 

 seven or eight white markings: on the basal half', two 

 more or less elongate spots (which sometimes form a lon- 

 gitudinal stripe) on the middle of the disk, and a small 

 point (absent in one of my eight specimens) at the mar- 

 gin of the notch beyond the shoulder; on the apical half, 

 three spots parallel to the suture (the apical one in one 

 of my specimens very small), and two transverse ones 

 touching the lateral margin. Pygidium ferrugineous , con- 

 vex , finely and irregularly scratched in a transverse direc- 

 tion and covered with extremely short pale bristles ; a trace 

 of a longitudinal median keel may be observed ; in four 

 of my specimens the pygidium is immaculate (cf?), in the 

 remaining four it is provided at each side with a strongly 

 curved yellowish patch (Q?). Under surface and legs shi- 

 ning , covered with bristly punctures ; raesosternal process 

 short and broad, dilated at the end, and not protruding. 

 In those specimens which have the pygidium spotted with 

 yellow the sides of the sternum (the epimera included) and 

 abdomen are covered with a yellowish crust , with the 

 exception however of the fourth and apical segment which 

 show only a rather small rotundate spot. In those speci- 

 mens however which have the pygidium immaculate the 

 yellowish crust is confined to the extreme sides of the 

 sternum (the epimera and epipleura included) , and of the 

 hind coxae , and to the hind margin (in connection with 

 the apical angle) of the three basal segments of the abdo- 

 men. Anterior tibiae with one sharp lateral tooth close to 

 the end. 



Var. Pronotum and elytra black , basal margin of the 

 former faintly rufous (the largest of my specimens). 



Of this species, which is closely allied to Gl. glauca 

 Blanch., aromatica Wall., labecula Wall. ') etc., eight spe- 



1) Mr. van Lansberge regards my species as being identical with labecula 

 Wall.; the latter however has the suture spined, the pronotum not bordered 

 with white laterally, and the pygidium blank.
