34 Mr. J. S. Baly on the Eumolpidte. 



above convex, finely but not very closely punctured, at the outer mar- 

 gin are several rows of ratber deeper impressions ; each elytron with 

 a short longitudinal line at the base, placed immediately within the 

 humeral callus, a deeply impressed transverse fossa, situated just below 

 the basilar space, and a short spot behind the middle of the disc, 

 shining black. Body beneath somewhat paler, legs (the centre of the 

 thighs excepted) black. 

 Hab. Port Natal. 



Euryope terminalis. 



U. oblongus, valde convexus, nitido-rufo-castaneus ; antennis, macula fron- 

 tali, thoracis maculis quatuor, scutello, elytrorum plagis, plem-arum 

 limbo, abdominis segmento anali pedibusque (femoribus medio exceptis) 

 nigris ; thorace elytris angustiori ; elytris confuse tenuiter pimctato- 

 striatis, utrisque carina submarginali vittisque impunctatis (his pcstice 

 obsoletis) instructis. — Long. 3-4^ lin. 



Oblong, very convex, shining rufo-castaneous ; antennoe, a fi'ontal 

 patch, four spots on the thorax, placed in a transversely oblong square, 

 the scutellum, five irregidar patches on each elytron, the limb of the 

 pleiu'se, the anal segment of the abdomen, and the legs (the middle of the 

 thighs excepted) shining black. Head finelj' punctured, face impressed 

 on either side between the eyes with a broad oblique fovea ; apex of 

 basal joints of antennae rufous, apex of jaws nigTO-piceous. Thorax 

 not quite twice broader than long ; sides nearly straight, obliquely 

 deflexed ; above transversely convex, impressed on either side by a deep 

 fovea, surface punctured ; four patches on the disc, two transverse, 

 attached one on either side to the anterior margin, and the two others 

 smaller and nearly round, placed immediately behind the foimer, 

 shining black. Scutellum broad, subtrigonate, its apex rounded. 

 Elytra broader at their base than the thorax, subquadrate-oblong, their 

 apex regularly rounded ; above convex, lightly impressed with numerous 

 piceous punctures, confusedly arranged in irregular longitudinal striae ; 

 on each elytron, distinct and slightly elevated in fi-ont, but nearly lost 

 towards the apex, are several impvmctate vittse ; in addition to these, 

 immediately within the lateral border is a strongly elevated costa, 

 which continues entire to the apex of the elytron ; bounding the basilar 

 space posteriorly is an oblique fossa, which extends fi'oni the sutm-e to 

 the submarginal costa, near its termination becoming broadly dilated, 

 and its surface coarsely punctured ; on each elytron are placed six 

 irregular shining black spots, which in some specimens become more 

 or less confluent, viz. one at the base, just within the humeral callus, 

 two on the oblique fossa (the one near the sutm'e much larger than the 

 outer one), a fom-tli, smaller and submarginal, situated below the humeral 

 angle, and lastly, two others, parallel and placed immediately behind 

 the middle of the disc, the inner one elongate, the outer smaller and 

 subrotundate. Body beneath, with the limb of the pleurse, the meta-
