angulation. The elytra in E. marginata are a little 

 longer than in E. latifrons, but the punctuation is similar. 

 The pygidium in both species is very strongly punctured ; 

 in E. latifrons the punctures are crowded together, whilst 

 in E. marginata the punctures are distinctly separated, 

 and in places there is room for punctures of the same 

 size in the intervals. E. marginata has the abdomen 

 with a very few punctures in the middle ; in E. lati- 

 frons the punctuation is nearly equally strong and close 

 throughout. 



Enaria depressiascula, n. s. 



Elongato-oblonga, subparallela, sat convexa, nitida, 

 flava ; capite thoraceque rufo-flavis discrete punctatis, 

 elytris dorsim depressiusculis, evidenter crebrius punc- 

 tatis. Long. 8|- lin. 



This species is relatively longer than any of the others, 

 more parallel, and has the elytra flattened above ; the 

 suture is, however, raised, as is usual in the genus. The 

 head and clypeus are strongly, but not very closely, 

 punctured. The thorax is gradually, but not very, much 

 narrowed from the base to the front angles, gently 

 arcuate at the sides ; the punctures are strong and rather 

 distant from each other. The scutellum is distinctly and 

 not very thickly punctured. The elytra are very little 

 enlarged posteriori}^, subparallel, the punctuation is 

 strong, and a little closer than on the thorax ; the suture 

 posteriorly and the margins are. most narrowly tinted 

 with dark brown.

Encya calva, n. s 



Oblonga, flavo-testacea, calva, nitida ; capite thorace- 

 que (lateribus exceptis) piceis, crebre punctatis, scutello 

 piceo, laevi, elytris minus nitidis crebre punctatis, macula 

 ante apicem piceo nitido. Long. 7 lin., lat. 4|- lin. 



Head thickly and moderately strongly punctured, the 

 punctures clearly separated from each other ; the clypeus 

 scarcely emarginate. Thorax evenly convex, pitchy, 

 with the sides yellowish, thickly and very distinctly 

 punctured, the punctures clearly separated from each 

 other ; broadest close to the base, narrowed anteriorly 

 from about the middle, the margins not crenulate ; the
