 little paler in hue ; head finely wrinkled, somewhat pieeous on

 which the surface is somewhat raised and almost smooth ; seutellum

.Signoret describes this species (evidently a condensation of the 

 diagnosis of Schiiidte) as follows : — " Strongly suboval. Rostrum 

 as long as the sternum. Second joint of the antennse a fourth part 

 longer than the tliird *. Seutellum transversely striated, angularly 

 rounded at apex. Corium smooth or very obsoletely punctate. 



"Length 7| millim."'

Differs from the preceding species by its smaller size ; the 

 rostrum only the length of the prosternum ; the third joint of the 

 antennae about equal in length to the fourth ; seutellum transversely 

 rugosely punctate, most thickly and more confluent at base ; corium 

 finely punctate.

This species is more elongate in form and much paler in hue than 



* Scbi(iclte evidently, as Siguovet suggests, mistook the third for the second 

 ioint of tlie antenna?, and the above should probably be described as " third 

 ioint a fourth part longer tlian the fourth.''
