appears to be the slender filiform antennte, a differential character 

 corresponding with that made use of by Mr. Champion for the 

 separation of Allecula and Hymenorus. 



Oiir species are found on foliage of low plants and are moderately 

 abundant. They are easily differentiated as follows: — 



Elytra without distinct series of punctures. 



Fourth joint of the maxillary palpi long and slender. 



Antennge with the third joint distinctly shorter than the fourth, at least 

 in the male. 

 Eyes very large, the front broadly, deeply impressed ; color pale 



throughout ioweiisis 



Eyes small or moderate ; front not impressed. 



Color black, the prothorax rufo-ferruginous ; elytral punctuation 



sparse discolor 



Color piceous-black throughout ; elytral punctuation extremely dense. 



teiielirosa 



Antennse with the third and fourth joints equal or subequal, elongate. 

 Eyes moderate ; elytral punctuation and pubescence exceedingly dense ; 



color pale ochreous-flavate throughout sei'icea 



Eyes small, not prominent ; punctuation of the head and pionotum 

 fine, very dense ; elytral punctures sparser ; color variable. 



Tariabilis 

 Eyes very small, convex and prominent ; head and pronotum rather 



coarsely punctate ; size smaller lliscitiosa 



Fourth joint much shorter and more dilated, but with the outer siile dis- 

 tinctly longer than the apex ; punctuation very dense throughout ; color 



piceous-black piilla 



Fourth joint robust, the outer side but slightly longer than the apex. 



Elytral punctuation sparse; eyes small, the elytra without impressed 

 lines except the two sutural toward apex. 

 Third and fourth antennal joints equal in both sexes ; prothorax small, 



much narrower than the elytra qiiatll'istriata 



Third joint shorter than the fourth ; prothorax larger, sube(2ual in 



width to the elytra IllOllticola 



Elytral punctuation dense ; eyes lai'ge ; thii-d antennal joint shorter than 

 the fourth ; elytra with fine but distinct impressed lines throughout 



the width oblongtila 



Elytra with series, more or less com2)lete and sometimes feebly impressed, of 

 small punctures ; maxillary palpi with the terminal joint but slightly 

 shorter and more robust than in sericea; eyes large. 

 Eyes in the male separated by scarcely two-thirds their own width. 



Talida 



Eyes in the male separated by fully their own wiilth ; form more oblong 



and parallel ; elytral series feebly impressed texaiia
