2 SCHIZORRHINA TRUNCATIPENNIS. 



somewhat obliquely directed spots before the median lobe; 



on the scutellum : two lateral elongated triangular spots 

 touching the base; 



on the elytra: three pair of spots close to the suture 

 and lateral margins, the lateral spots more or less con- 

 fluent towards the base, and less regularly shaped than 

 the sutural ones; moreover three or four rather small 

 spots on the middle of the disk , an elongated narrow ba- 

 sal spot or line between the 4th and 5th striae , and a trans- 

 verse narrow line close to and parallel with the apical margin ; 



on the abdomen : two median transverse spots and two 

 lateral points on the segment which precedes the pygi- 

 dium, and three pair of spots on the pygidium; 



on the under surface : the mesosternum and metasternum 

 and the 1st— 4th abdominal segments with lateral spots, 

 the 5th segment with two median spots. 



Head finely punctured , with an almost smooth space on 

 the vertex, behind which the punctures are larger; the 

 anterior margin of the clypeus upturned and inconspicu- 

 ously emarginated in the middle. The clypeus with three 

 faint impressions : two at the lateral margins , the third be- 

 fore the middle of the front margin. 



The pronotum sparingly punctured towards the sides , 

 the middle of the disk impunctate; the scutellum with some 

 shallow punctures on the extreme base. 



The elytra broadly truncated at the apex and strongly 

 spined at the suture; the posterior lateral angles rectan- 

 gular. The line which accompanies the suture shallow, 

 distinctly impressed however close to the sides of the scu- 

 tellum; moreover each elytron shows six longitudinal striae 

 of very shallow punctures, the first stria being the most 

 inconspicuous of all, whereas all along the sides behind 

 the shoulders and on the apical portion of the elytra trans- 

 verse scratches are present. The abdominal segment which 

 precedes the pygidium transversely, the pygidium con- 

 centrically aciculated. \
