New Psephenida3 and Cyplionida?. 573 



the punctuation is mucli closer (rather irregular), and much 

 stronger, close but not crowded, except here and there, and the 

 punctures are as if made with a blunt point. The elytra are 

 rather broad, but arcuately attenuated towards the apex ; the 

 punctuation (not forgetting the different sizes of the insects) is 

 relatively the same as in S. liemispha'vicus.
