EUPSALIS SOMALICA.

Fairm. \), an ethiopian species which has the basal margin 

 of the prothorax likewise punctato-crenate , the differences, 

 according to Fairmaire's description , are the following : 

 head impressed in the middle and hairy at the sides , pro- 

 thorax punctured and hairy, elytra as long as the protho- 

 rax , head and rostrum (without mandibles) taken together, 

 unistriate along the sutural interstice , coxae punctured and 

 hairy, general color different. 



Finally E. Eeichei Fairm, ^), a palaearctic and oriental spe- 

 cies, inhabiting Greta, Palaestina , India, Hongkong, etc., 

 agrees with E. somalica Senna by the prothorax being 

 slightly punctured (in well preserved specimens the punc- 

 tures are also hair-bearing) and by the basal margin of 

 the prothorax which is punctato-crenate , two characters 

 not mentioned in Fairmaire's description ; but the color of 

 E. Reichei Fairm. is different , the head less impressed above, 

 not hairy , with the basal angles indistinct , and the an- 

 tenual portion of the rostrum differently shaped , the pro- 

 thorax is less narrow anteriorly, its basal margin is 

 entirely punctato-crenate and not only posteriorly as in 

 E, somalica Senna , the sculpture of the elytra is also diffe- 

 rent and the coxae are glabrous.
