INSECT FAUNA. 93 



Idotasia montitaga, sp. nov. 



Elliptic, rather elongate, black, shining ; prothorax greatly narrowed in 

 front, strongly punctured at the sides ; elytra striate-punctate at the sides. 



Head finely and rather closely punctured ; rostrum slightly arcuate. 

 Eyes not ycry prominent, finely granulated. Antennae piceous. Prothorax 

 in front moderately strongly and closely punctured on the disc, the 

 punctures effaced posteriorly, the sides strongly and sparingly punctured ; all 

 the punctures are elongate, those on the disc being aciculate. Elytra at the 

 base rather broader than the prothorax, greatly narrowed posteriorly, 

 strongly striate-punctate at the sides, very obscurely striate-punctate, the 

 interstices rather broad, smooth, and impunctate. Legs moderately long, 

 piceous ; femora thickened. Length 3 — 4 mm. 



Summit of Mount Ledgbird (2,500 feet). 



Allied to Idotasia evanida, Pasc. 



Idotasia sqijamigeka, sp. nov. 



Elliptic, rather short, narrow, black, somew^hat shining, closely covered 

 with rather lai-ge opaque black scales ; prothorax with a longitudinal line of 

 yellowish-gray scales in the middle, and a spot of similar scales on each side ; 

 elytra with a large spot of yellowish-gray scales in the middle on each side. 



Rostrum slightly arcuate. Eyes not jjrominent, finely granulated. 

 Antenna^ piceous. Prothorax greatly narrowed in front, rather strongly 

 punctured. Elytra at the base rather broader than the prothorax, elongate- 

 ovate, somewhat narrowed behind, obscurely striate on the disc, more 

 strongly striate at the sides, where the punctures are visible through the 

 scales, the interstices moderately broad. Legs moderately long ; femora 

 strongly thickened, sparingly scaled. Length 2\ mm. 



A very distinct species, unlike anything known to me. 



Calandka geanaria, Linn. 



Calandra granaria, Linnaeus, Svst. Nat., Ed. X, p. 378 ; Jacq. Duval, Gen. 

 Col., pi. 29, fig. 140 (1854). 

 A cosmopolitan species, which has doubtless been introduced. 



Calandra O'rtzje, Ijinn. 



Calandra oryzce, Linnaeus, Amoen. Ac, W, p. 395 (1765) ; Olivier. Ent., V, 

 p. 97, pi. 7, fig. 81. 

 Summit of Mount Ledgbird (2,500 feet). 



A species of world-wide distribution. Probably introduced in rice or 

 other grain. 



Aphanocoeynes procerus, sp. nov. 



Elongate, somewhat flattened above, black, shining ; rostrum rather long, 

 slightly constricted at the base ; prothorax very long, strongly constricted 

 in front ; elytra strongly punctate-striate, interstices rather narrow^ 

 extremely finely punctured. 



Head rather strongly and not very closely punctured ; rostrum moderately 

 strongly punctured near the base, finely and densely punctured in front. 

 Antenna? pitchy red, the first joint of the funiculus longer than the 

 succeeding ones, which are of nearly equal lengths. Prothorax more than 

 one and a half times as long as broad, considerably narrowed and strougly 

 constricted in front, rather strongly and not very closely punctured on the 

 disc, less strongly punctured at the sides, with a deeply-impressed line near 

 the anterior margin, wdiich is straight and impunctate ; sides feebly rounded. 

 Elytra a little more than one and a half times as long as the prothorax,
