18. — Craspedophokus convexus. 



Niger subnitidus, thorace profunde punctato angulis posticis 

 subrotundatis, elytris convexis sulcato-punctatis maculis 

 subhumeralibus subapicalibusque aurantiis. 



Long. 10 lin., lat. 4j lin. 

 The head is smooth in front, with a punctured depression on 

 each side. The thorax is coarsely and densely punctured with 

 the medial line distinctly traceable, and is very much narrowed

 have each eight deeply punctured furrows with the interstices 

 elevated and smooth, and two orange colom-ed spots, one near 

 the shoulders, the other near the apex ; these spots are arranged 

 as follows, on the fourth interstice from the suture, both spots 

 commence with orange marks of equal length, on the fifth, the 

 marks are both shorter, on the sixth, they are both about the 

 length of those on the foui'th, on the seventh, the mai-k on the
