PROPHTHALMUS PLANIPENNIS. 465 



interstices are as in the cf, but I have in my collection 

 a female with the elytra and the pro thorax proportiona- 

 tely narrower; the second yellow line on the elytra is 

 sometimes interrupted in the middle. 



The undersurface of the body shining; metasternum and 

 the two basal segments of the abdomen obsoletely canali- 

 culate, the apical segment margined with fine hairs. Fe- 

 mora toothed , internally the basal half pubescent. 



Length 13 to 21 mill., breadth of the prothorax 2V2 to 

 4'/3 mill.

This fine and conspicuous species is allied to M. pimc- 

 ticoUis Boisd. ^) but easily distinguishable by its robustness, 

 by the head and the apical portion of the prothorax clearly 

 punctured , moreover by the shape of the prothorax. Head 

 nearly square, slightly longer than broad, convex on 

 the vertex , in the middle furrowed , at the base strongly 

 emarginate , irregularly punctured ; between the eyes trisul- 

 cate , the lateral impressions broader than the central one ; 

 beneath convex, shining, very finely punctured. Rostrum 

 robust, as long as I'/s the head, moderately curved; the 

 basal portion as long as the apical one , trisulcate , the sides 

 parallel ; the anterior portion widened at the apex which 

 is smooth, emarginate and finely punctured; the interme- 

 diate furrow extending almost to the end of the rostrum;
