Very like cdruuttit, but rather smaller, more brightly 

 coloured, with paler legs and head. The thorax is shorter, 

 and has fewer transverse lines, 8 — 9, and the central carina 

 is less pronounced.

28. cavifrons, Thorns. 



= alpestris, Doug. & Scott. 



This very distinct species cannot be confounded with 

 any other here described ; its large, rounded e3'es and 

 bulbous head, and long intermediate tarsi, which are as 

 long as the tibi;i?, distinguish it at once. The thorax is 

 very rastrate, and has a short, distinctly raised, dorsal line 

 in front, reaching to a little behind the middle ; the elytra 

 are rather obscurely marked, and have scattered, long, 

 pale hairs. Legs dusky. 



Length 4 lines.
