Mr. Arthur M. Lea's Revision of the 



and finely pubescent ; frequently also with a metallic gloss, 

 prosternum not foveate. 



To the first section belongs the species I have redescribed 

 as fuscipennis, and in my opinion it belongs to a different 

 genus to all the other species here noted (with the possible 

 exception of nigricans) and which belong to the second 

 section. 



The pubescence of the members of the second section 

 appears to be easily abraded, the antennae usually extend 

 (when drawn backwards over the prothorax) to or slightly 

 beyond the scutellum and in most of these species the in- 

 dividual joints are shaped much as they are in squiresensis. 

 The abdomen of the species of this section also often 

 appears to have the hinder edges of the segments serrated, 

 but this appearance is really due to the pubescence being 

 matted together. 



The species, with the exception of nigricans, which is 

 commented on below, may be tabulated as follows : — 



A. Protlioiax with long setose liair . 

 AA. Prothorax pubescent. 



B. Elytra with semi-iij)right hairs in ad- 

 dition to pubescence. 

 a. Elytra with numerous subgranu- 

 lar elevations .... 

 aa. Elytra with punctures only 

 BB. Elytra pubescent only. 



C. Prothorax with comparatively 

 coarse punctures. 

 h. Punctures all sharply defined 

 bh. Punctures more or less 

 rugose .... 

 CC. Prothorax (at least in middle) 

 with small or very small punc- 

 tures. 

 D. Femora partly pale 

 DD. Femora entirely dark. 

 E. Prothorax feebly trans- 

 versely impressed near 

 base, 

 c. Impression continuous 

 CC. Impression interrupted 

 in middle 

 EE. Prothorax not so impressed.
