serrate; lltli joint longer than 10th. Prothorax slightly transverse, 

 wider than head and almost as wide as prothorax, apex and sides 

 rounded, base feebly bilobed. Elytra moderately dilated posteriorly, 

 each feebly separately rounded at apex ; with moderately dense, 

 rugose punctures. Front tarsi simple. 



Length to apex of elytra 4|, of abdomen 7J mm.

Of two females before me one has the elytra entirely 

 dark, the other has the suture pale for a short distance 

 behind the scutellum. The lower surface of the four 

 basal segments of abdomen are more or less dark along 

 the middle. The elytral punctures are of moderate size 

 and density, but are nowhere sharply defined. The body 

 is unusually robust for a CarjjJinrus. 



Carphurus PALLIDIFRONS, n. sp. 



^ . Black ; elytra deep metallic coppery-green (or blue) ; muzzle, 

 prothorax, front coxae, knees and base of antennae, flavous or reddish- 

 flavous. 



Head rather short; with distinct scattered punctures, base trans- 

 versely strigose"; a large excavation between eyes, in the front 

 two-thirds of which is a longitudinal space but little below the 

 general level of head. Antennae long ; 3rd-10th joints almost 

 cylindrical, 11th longer than 10th and acutely pointed. Prothorax 

 slightly longer than wide, almost as wide as head, base and apex 

 subequal. Elytra rather narrow ; at base very little wider than 

 prothorax ; with dense and rather small, subrugose punctures. 

 Basal joint of front tarsi large, more than half their total length, 

 with a curved inner margin. 



Length to apex of elytra 4, of abdomen 6 mm. 



$ . Differs in having the frontal impression less pronounced, the 

 elytra wider and the tarsi simple.

Of three specimens before me one male and one female 

 have the two basal joints of antennae pale, in the other 

 (a male) the five basal joints are pale. Most of the 

 elytral punctures are confluent but a few are sharply 

 defined. 



The red muzzle, basal joints of antennae and knees readily 

 distinguish this species from cyanopteriis and angustatus;
