characters : — tlie subapical angular elevation to tlio posterior 

 process is narrower and more acute ; the apical lobes to the discal 

 pronotal process are narrower and more elongate, while tlie space 

 which se])arates them at base is ovate and not circular; in other 

 respects the characters are almost entirely similar. 



Length 7 to 8 miilim.

I have seen a long series of this species aud the differential 

 characters are constant.

 the anterior process is 

 much shorter and differently 

 formed from other species 

 of this genus ; pronotum 

 punctulate, furnished an-

 dorsal process, somewhat 

 shorter than the posterior process, bending a little forward,

The figure is taken from a cotype in the Stockholm Museum, 

 for which I owe my thanks to Dr. Chr. Aurivillius. Mr. H. 

 H. Maun found this species near Darjeeliug on Ci/pJtoniandra aud 

 on Artemisia.
