The ligula, as described Lv Cliaudoir in instituting the 
g-enus Crossoglossa (Ann. Ent. 8oc. Belg. xv. 180), has 
numerous seti^. The lobes of the mentum are very widely 
rounded on the sides, and advanced at the apex, so that 
the epilobium seems to end on their inner edge.

Apparently allied to C. fasciata (Chaud.) from the 
Moluccas. Pale testaceous-red, shining ; antennae con- 
colorous. The thorax is similar to that of C. latecincta, 
i. e. not distinctly transverse ; it is about as broad as the 
head, with moderately narrow explanated margins, very 
f^lightly angulated just before the middle, thence sinuated 
to the nearly rectangular and slightly produced hind 
angles ; the surface has a few scattered punctures. The 
clvtra are about twice the width of the thorax, oblong- 
ovate, strongly punctulate-striate, the 3rd and 4th striie 
sunk in longitudinal depressions ; the interstices finely and 
sparsely punctulated, the 3rd with five large pimctures. 
The ovate black spot is sometimes prolonged in a point 
along the suture towards the base.

Testaceous tawny-yellow in well-preserved examples. 
The head is rather coarsely, but sparsely, punctured, and 
bears a A'^-shaped depression in the middle of the forehead. 
The thorax is strongly transverse ; ililated and broadly 
rounded immediately from the anterior angles, and narroAved 
again behind, with little sinuation, to the obtuse but distinct 
hind angles ; the lateral margins are broadly explanated, 
and the fore and hind borders rather thickly punctured. 
The elytra are oblong-ovate, obtusely and broadly trun- 
cated behind ; the strije are well impressed and punctulate, 
and the interstices somewhat plentifully sprinkled with 
pimctures ; the 3rd, 5th and 7th interstices are much con-
