Gopidita quadrilineata, n. sp. (Plate T., fig. 12.) 



Moderately elongate, rather narrow, subopaque ; pale flavous, 

 the eyes black ; the elytra slate-coloured, with the sutural and 

 lateral margins, the first costa from a little below the base to near 

 the middle, and the second costa from the base to near the apex, 

 flavous ; the antennae black, with the basal joint obscure testaceous, 

 the palpi and the tips of the mandibles fuscous, the legs pale 

 flavous, with the tarsi and the apices of the tibi« inf uscate ; above 

 and beneath rather sparsely clothed with fine yellowish-cinereous 

 pubescence. Head thickly punctured ; antennas more than half the 

 length of the body. Prothorax longer than broad, subcordate, 

 parallel behind, the anterior part as wide as the head, closely, very 

 finely punctate, the disc depressed in the middle at the base and 

 also on either side anteriorly. Elytra moderately elongate, more 

 than one-half wider than the prothorax, densely, subrugosely 

 punctured, and with three distinct costse — two on the disc and one 

 close to the lateral margin, the latter rather prominent. Legs 

 rather stout. Length 7, breadth 1-| mm. 



Hab. St. Vincent. 



One specimen only, probably a male, of this well- 

 marked species has been received. The two outer costee 

 of the elytra are more distinct than in the allied forms, 

 G. frontalis, etc. The thorax is somewhat abruptly 

 narrowed about the middle and parallel thence to the 

 base, the anterior half being rounded at the sides.
