There are faded marks of white vittse about the rostrum, eyes, 

 forehead, and thorax of this species. The sculpture of the elytra 

 is less deep than in S. vermiculatus, the punctures being less pro- 

 found and the interstices less costate. The insect is altogether of 

 a dingy brown appearance. 



38. — SCLERORINUS SUBSEQUENS.

 cavata, thorace rugoso-tuberculato, elytris seriatim punctatis

 instructis.

This species most resembles 8. vermiculatus ; it differs from 

 it, however, in many particulars. The rostrum is more dis- 

 tinctly carinated. The forehead is slightly excavated on each 

 side of the central line. The thorax has the tubercles more 

 defined. The elytra are less distinctly marked with costae and 

 punctures, and tlie setas are of a pale yellow, whereas in 8. ver- 

 miculatus they are black.
