more or less piceous, anteñnnæ fuscous, the lower three or four 
joints flavous, basal joint slender, second joint short, third, one 
half longer, fourth and following joints longer than the two 
preceding joints together, finely pubescent, thorax scarcely twice 
as broad as long, the sides straight, the posterior margin strongly 
rounded, anterior angles oblique, slightly thickened, the surface 
with a very obsolete transverse depression at the sides, very finely 
and obsoletely punctured, flavous or fulvous, scutellum flavous, 
elytra elongate, convex, closely and comparatively strongly punc- 
tured, the interstices also very finely punctured, black, their epi- 
pleuræ continued below the middie, legs long and slender, fulvous, 
the metatarsus of the posterior legs long, all the tibiæ mucronate. 
Hab. Belgaum, S. Bombay. 
This species may be known from other similarly coloured allied 
forms, by the sculpturing of the elytra. 
Candezea fuscipennis n. sp. 
Elongate, testaceous, thorax transverse, very sparingly pune- 
tured, elytra obscure brownish or fuscous, very finely and 
subremotely punctured, the apex of each pointed. 
Length 1 1/2 line. 
Head impunctate, the frontal tubercles small, transverse, the 
clypeus with a rather long and acute central ridge, antennæ 
extending beyond the middle of the elytra, testaceous, the apex 
of the terminal joint piceous, basal joint slender, the second short, 
the third scarcely one half longer, the fourth and following joints 
elongate, thorax at least twice as broad as long, the lateral 
margins nearly straight, the posterior one slightly rounded, the 
anterior angles obliquely truncate, slightly thickened, the disc 
with some very shallow depressions at the sides, more or less 
distinct, impunctate, testaceous, scutellum broader than long, 
elytra obscure fuscous, finely but not very closely punctured, 
the apex of each pointed (in most specimens), their epipleuræ very 
broad and concave, continued below the middle, legs long and 
slender, all the tibiæ mucronate, the first joint of the posterior 
tarsi longer than the following joints together, elaws appendieu- 
late, the anterior coxal cavities closed, 
Hab. Belgaum, Kanara, S. Bombay. 
The general appearance of this species is rather delicate and 
suggestive of a Zuperus, the thorax is more transverse than is 
usual the case in Candezea and shows in some specimens a slight 
transverse depression, the colour is testaceous but that of the 
elytra is fuscous or brownish, the species possesses all the struc- 
tural characters of Candezea.
