ISCHIOPSOPHA GESTROI. 185 



line , ending in a somewhat deeper impression in the middle 

 of the lobe , may be observed. 



The scutellura is slightly concave, directed upwards at 

 the top. 



The elytra are gradually narrowed posteriorly , rounded 

 at the apex, obtusely spined at the suture, with a large 

 deep suboval impression laterally at the shoulders, finely 

 strigose along the apical half of the outermargin and be- 

 tween the apical callus and the suture ; the disk is thickly 

 covered with large and deep punctures, which extend near 

 the base, the latter and also a space above the apical cal- 

 lus smooth. 



The pygidium densely and finely strigose, the median 

 carina very sharp in the middle. 



The mesosternal process straight; the stridulating organs 

 of the abdomen very faint; the sides of the breast sKghtly 

 strigose; the legs clothed with black hairs, the anterior 

 tibiae with two distinct teeth. 



By its colour and strong elytral sculpture , this little 

 species is not unlike I. rugata Homb. & Jacq. But besides 

 all the other differences it is at once distinguished by the 

 want of the sharp longitudinal ridge above on the pygidium. 



Unfortunately I do not know exactly the habitat of the 

 single 9 specimen I possess , probably it may be New Guinea. 



I have much pleasure in dedicating this pretty species to 

 Mr. R. Gestro, who has so much advanced our knowledge 

 of these beautiful insects.
