surface in front with small granular elevations, behind subopaque, 
very finely punctured, closely towards the middle, which bears a 
brush of short erect fulvous hairs. Scutellum small, rounded tri- 
angular, black shining. Elytra about as long as the prothorax, 
cylindrical, abruptly truncate behind the middle, shining black, 
finely punctate, the punctures of the rows and interstices scarcely 
separable from each other ; terminal surface strongly declivous, 
circular, defined above but not margined, the lateral and inferior 
margin not acute, covered with very short fulvous pubescence 
and hence subopaque, finely striate, the interstices quite flat. Under- 
side and legs bright-testaceous, the anterior tibie narrow. 
Hab. CEYLON (£. £. Green). 
This little species is one of the best marked of the 
group of small forms to which it belongs. The bright 
testaceous colour of the body, black elytra, and fulvous, 
downy pubescence of their sharply curtailed extremities 
render it unmistakable even at a glance. |
