6 Mr. C. C. Babington's Descriptions 



4. (5.) C suturalis, Bab. 



Oblongo-ovatus, supra flavicans, subtus niger, vertice nigro, 

 maciilis 2 testaceis, elytris crebre nigro-irroratis striisque 

 disci punctatis, antennis pedibusque flavis. (L. c. 5 ; lat. 2j 

 lin.) 



Head yellow, with the vertex black, inclosing two transverse 

 yellow spots. Antennae yellow. Structure of the thorax, as in 

 the preceding species, yellow, with a very narrow black line on 

 the hinder margin, and a slight cloud on the disk. Scutellum 

 black. Elytra similar in form to those of its allies, but thickly 

 covered with minute black spots (not reticulated), less closely 

 placed near the lateral margins, which, together with a strongly 

 marked line down the suture, are immaculate, the usual striae 

 nearly obsolete. Body beneath black, with a pale spot at the 

 anterior angle of each segment of the abdomen. Legs fuscous 

 yellow, the hinder pair rather darker. 



The irrorated elytra of this insect will distinguish it from all 

 the preceding.

Oblongus, thorace elytrorum basi multo angustiori, lateribus 

 parallelis rectis, pallide flavus, diaphanus, vertice oculis pec- 

 torique nigris ; elylris lineis longitudinalibus undulatis sub-

C. anguslicolUs, Curt, in Linn. Trans, xviii. 195. t. xv. f. E. 



The whole upper surface pale yellow and diaphanous, except 

 the vertex, which is, together with the eyes, black. Thorax 

 short, transverse, narrow, broadly emarginate in front, slightly 

 produced over the head in the middle, the angles prominent and 

 acute, sides parallel and depressed, the hinder angles rectangular, 

 posterior margin sinuated, and produced somewhat over the scu- 

 tellum ; the centre of the disk depressed ; the usual row of minute 

 impressed dots near the anterior margin nearly obsolete. Scu- 

 tellum small, its apex rounded, and a black spot in its centre. 

 Elytra obovale-oblong, scarcely dilated, very long. The base 

 much broader than the thorax ; with four principal dark wavy 

 lines upon each, not reaching to the base or apex, the second
