302 iCSERNIA LATEFASCIATA. 



Again closely allied to A. Whitei but I believe distinct 

 from that species. The differences are as follows : in the 

 present insect the entire head and thorax are fulvous; the 

 elytra are more finely punctured and the posterior fulvous 

 band is of double the width than in the allied species 

 the third elytral row of punctures is impressed at its com- 

 mencement with a deep fovea which in all the specimens 

 of A. Whitei which I have examined , is absent. A. late- 

 fasciata is also distinct , according to the descriptions , from 

 those species described by Dr. Gestro.
