Near Crepidodera, but separated by the different form of the an-

Praso)ia viridis. 



P. elongata, subparallela, pallide viridis, subnitida ; antennis obscurioribus, 

 piceo tinctis ; fenioribus anterioribus dorso lineatis nigro ; elytris crebre 

 pimctatis, liuea suturali male definita, vitta bi-evi leuiter curvata intra 

 hunieros posita, macida prope mediimi disci vittaque submarginali a 

 callo hunierali ad paidlo pone medium exteusa piceis. — Long. 3f liu.

Hab. Mexico. 



Elongate, moderately convex. Face trigonate, elevated between the 

 eyes, upper portion of the raised space impressed by a longitudinal 

 fovea; vertex finely but remotely punctured. Thorax nearly twice 

 as broad as long, sides subparallel, sinuate at the base, slightly dilated 

 and rounded before the middle ; above closely punctured, a nan-ow 

 longitudinal space down the middle impunctate ; disk impressed on 

 either side vtdth shallow irregular excavations, base transversely sulcata, 

 side border reflexed. Elytra broader than the thorax, sides subparallel, 

 slightly ovate, upper sm-face closely pimctm-ed ; on the disk of each 

 elji:ron are seen (with difficiUty in some specimens) five or six obso- 

 letely elevated vittfe ; one, rather more distinct, extends from the 

 humeral callus down the side a short distance -within the latei'al border, 

 the space between this latter and the vitta concave.

 when I wrote my paper ; and Hope's description is so short and im-
