48 EPISCAPHA XANTHO-PUSTULATA. 



the callus, and the suture are narrowly black. In E. cru- 

 data there is a small black spot on the callus which is 

 wanting here. The underside and legs are pitchy-black, 

 prosternum even , not compressed , punctured. 



This insect is at first sight like E. cruciata but rather 

 wider and with paler yellow spots. It is , however, quite 

 easily at once distinguished , by the generic character of 

 having the third joint of the antennae not longer than 

 the fourth , by the pubescence , close punctuation and other 

 specific difierenees. 



One specimen was captured in each of the above localities.
