and semi-confluent at the sides which are thickened and swollen, 

 scutel smooth rufous, elytra finely and regularly punctate striate, par- 

 tially obsolete behind, flavous, each with the suture and the third, 

 fifth, seventh and ninth intervals pale rufous (like the thorax) beneath 

 with legs pale rufous. Length 9 mm. 



One example without locality label in the first Jacoby coll. 

 (north part of North America?). 



Very much resembling in appearance Stilodes {Deutero- 

 campta) hiscoiineata Stal, but the heavily punctured and 

 swollen thoracic edges together with the prominent and trun- 

 cate prosternum at once separates it. The sides of the 

 thorax are rounded almost from the rear, the anterior angle 

 is elongate, but not mutic, the disk is a little depressed at 

 the anterior middle, but there is no fovea, the elytra are 

 convex and polished, the third and fifth rufous intervals 

 attain the base or very closely, all become more or less obso- 

 lete towards the apex. The fifth stops at the posterior quar- 

 ter, the third and seventh faintly join near the apex, the first 

 three flavous interspaces have a single line of punctures in 

 the middle, becoming obsolete at the rear ; the general form 

 is narrowed toward the rear. 



Zygograiniua clavareaui nov. sp. 



Elongate parallel, head and thorax dirty flavous with the edges and 

 centre indefinitely rufous, antennae flavous, with the last four or five 

 joints dark, jaws black, a few medium punctures on the front, thorax 

 dull, a few fine punctures on the disk, and very coarsely and somewhat 

 confluently punctate towards the lateral margin, which is thickened 

 and smooth, scutel rufous, elytra dirty dull flavous with the suture and 

 alternating interspaces rufous, limited by strong punctures of a some- 

 what darker color, none of the rufous vittae attain the base, the first 

 or subsutural attains the apex, the second ends on the convexity, the 

 third is undulated just behind the middle and almost broken near the 

 apex where it undulates again and joins the first vitta, the last vitta is 

 straight and obsoletely attains the apex, the undulation of the third 

 vitta makes a suddenly wider interval which is very noticeable, the first 

 and second vittae are also obsoletely undulated in keeping with the 

 third, the various flavous intervals show punctures more or less ar- 

 ranged in lines of which one of the most noticeable is the subhumeral ; 

 body below and legs rufous. Length 5-5^ mm. 



Two examples among the Jacoby material and ten others 

 sent me by Monsieur Clavareau, all but one labelled Mexico
