254 Mr. J. S. Baly's descriptions of 



versely convex, the lateral margin broadly reflexed ; surface 

 smooth, impressed (when seen under a deep lens) with 

 very minute punctures. Scutellum as broad as long, tri- 

 gonate. Elytra oblong-ovate, very slightly dilated pos- 

 teriorly, convex, slightly excavated below the basilar space ; 

 granulose, closely impressed wdth fine but distinct punc- 

 tures ; apical margin of elytra entire. Basal joint of hinder 

 tarsus rather shorter than the folloAving two united. 



The more elongate form, more distinctly-punctured 

 elytra, together with the entire apical margin of the latter, 

 will separate this insect from sagulata and prcecincta, 

 Erich son. 



Mono-platus fulvus. 



Anguste ovatus, convexus, fulvus, nitidus, antennis 

 (basi exceptis), piceis, oculis nigris ; thorace distincte 

 subremote punctato, basi transversim sulcato ; elytris 

 regulariter punctato-striatis. 



Long. 2 lin. 



Hah. — Chanchamayo. 



Head trigonate ; vertex and front thickened, the latter 

 produced anteriorly into a wedge-shaped elevated space, 

 which extends downwards between the antennre ; encarpse 

 obsolete ; carina raised, linear ; eyes j^rominent, shining 

 black ; antennre filiform, four-fifths the length of the body, 

 the 3rd, 4th and 5th joints each equal in length to the 1st, 

 each more than twice the length of the 2nd, the three 

 lower ones fuh^ous, the rest piceous. Thorax nearly twice 

 as broad as long ; sides straight and parallel at the base, 

 slightly dilated and rounded before the middle, the anterior 

 angles obliquely truncate, produced laterally into a very 

 short acute tooth, the hinder angles acute ; disk distinctly 

 but not closely punctured, impressed at the base with a 

 deep transverse groove, which terminates abruptly on 

 either side, at some distance within the lateral margin. 

 Elytra oblong-ovate, convex, slightly flattened along the 

 suture, very faintly depressed beloAv the basilar space ; 

 each elytron with eleven regular rows of distinct punctures, 

 the first and last three interspaces plane, remotely impressed 

 with a few very minute punctures. 



This insect is about the same size and coloration, and 

 has a remarkable resemblance to several of the common 

 European species of Crepidodera.
