oblique row of three punctures on either side, and two or three more 

 punctures behind the eyes and on the temples; ground-sculpture 

 fine, transverse, strigose. Antennae aboul as long as the head and 

 thorax, the 2nd joint scarcely shorter than the 3rd, the 4th to the 

 6th slightly longer than broad, decreasing in length, the 7th to the 

 9th as long as broad, 10th scarcely transverse, the 11th short, 

 oblong oval, emarginate In-low. Thorax as long as broad, widest 

 at tlu- anterior angles, which are depressed and obtuse, the sides 

 (viewed from above) converging in a straight line to tin- rounded 

 posterior angles: disc on either side with a row of live large 

 punctures, of which the fifth is more remote, externally with a cun ed 

 lew of three smaller; ground-sculpt lire as on the head. Scutellum 

 moderately coarsely and rather closely punctured, and with long 

 yellowish pubescence. Elytra shining, a little broader than, and 

 as long as. the thorax, slightly longer than broad, rather finely and 

 by no means closely punctured; pubescence yellowish. Abdomen 

 finely, hut not very closely punctured and pubescent throughout. 

 First joint of posterior tarsi aboul as long as the last joint. 



Anterior tarsi simple: head much larger, broader than the

I •">. Orthidus cupreipennis, n. sp. 



Shining brassy-bronze, elytra copper- bronze ; antennae, mouth- 

 parts, and legs, ferruginous. Length 10 mm. 



Almost identical in build with 0. cribratus, Er., hut smaller and 

 differently coloured. Head shining, brassy-bronze, slightly trans- 

 verse, quadrate, fully as broad as the thorax, the median pair of 

 intraocular punctures much larger than the lateral, about equi- 

 distant; vertex with a large puncture on either side of the middle 

 line; the temples pretty closely and rather coarsely punctured and 

 Setiferous; the disc with a few exceedingly, line scattered points; 



ground-sculpture very line, strigose. Antennae ferruginous, the 



upper surface of the 1st joint infuscate: the structure the same as 



in O. cribratus. Thorax brassy-bronze, as long as broad, distinctly 

 wider at the anterior angles, which are rectangular, narrowed in a 

 straight line to the rounded posterior angles; disc with a series of 

 •four rather large punctures on each side, of which the first is more 



remote from t he second than this is from the third : anterior margin
