Rev. H. Clark’s Descriptions 
connexis, media recta, lateralibus valde sinuatis; margines 
etiam obscure flavi; scutedlum elongato-triangulare, lave, 
impunctatum, rufo-flavum, medio flavo; elytra ampliata, 
satis depressa, apice rotundata, striato-punctata, punctis 
crebris minutis et ordinatis, interstitia subtilissime punctata 
et rugosa, margines ampliati et confuse et fortiter punctati; 
flavo-sanguineo omnino tincta, marginibus exceptis flavis ; 
corpus sublus et pedes pallide flavi; antenne fusce, articulis 
1—4 flavis. 
Long. corp. lin. 33; lat. lin. 3. 
It is possible that the sanguineous coloration of the elytra may 
be in some examples absent. The species may be distinguished 
by its almost circular and depressed form, and the regular even 
and minute punctuation of its elytra.

4, Paropsis capliosa. 
Lata, subcircularis, post medium paulum ampliata, vix depressa, 
humeris utrinque subtuberculatis, striato-punctata, pallide 
flava: caput ad labrum transversé et subcirculariter foveo- 
latum, crebré punctatum, pallide testaceum, labro ad medium 
nigro-tineto, et macula utrinque nigra minut& apud basin ; 
thorax longitudinem mediam latitudine plus duplo superans, 
angulis anticis obtusis distinctis, lateribus marginatis et 
rotundatis, angulis posticis rotundatis ; indistincte sed ad 
latera crebrius et fortius punctatus;  sculel/um elongato- 
triangulare, impunctatum, leve; elytra lata, post medium 
ampliata, apice breviter rotundata; juxta humeros utrinque 
oblique visos tuberculum breve apparet;  striato-punc- 
tata, punctis ordinatis confertis et minutis, interstitia vix 
lzevia sed minutissime punctata vel rugosa, (strie ad 
Jatera et ad apicem paulum profunde videntur, haud ut 
in P. amcend obsolete et leves), margines ampliati et for- 
titer punctati; corpus sublus et pedes flavi; antenne fusce, 
articulis basalibus rufo-testaceis,

P. captiosa is nearly allied to P. ameena (ante, p. 405), both in 
general form, size and punctate striation of the elytra; after a 
careful examination I am persuaded that it represents a separate 
and 
a new species: when viewed laterally it is decidedly less 
depressed, more globose; when viewed obliquely, a tubercular 
elevation near the shoulders stands out distinctly, and makes the
