parallel at the sides^ its apex ending in a small central 

 point, and by the form of the apices of the elytra, which 

 are truncate on the sutural half and emarginate on 

 the outside ; the centro-basal patch is also surrounded by 

 small grayish spots, but these, as well as the bands, 

 depending on greater density of pubescence, are not to 

 be relied on for specific characters. 



Polyxo lictoria. (PI. XIX. fig. 8.) 



P, fusca ; scutello subrotundato ; elytris flavescenti- 



fasciatis, apicibus truncato-emarginatis.

Dark brown, very finely pubescent, with pale yellowish 

 markings composed of a stouter pubescence ; head 

 slightly spotted with white, very remotely punctured ; 

 prothorax with a very narrow elevated lateral border, 

 irregularly speckled with yellowish at the sides, the punc- 

 tures scattered, but absent in the centre ; scutellum 

 slightly transverse, nearly round ; elytra not broader 

 at the base than the prothorax, finely and sparsely punc- 

 tured, two broad yellowish bands dividing them into 

 three nearly equal portions, an imperfect band at the 

 base, and another near the apex, which is also covered 

 with a short yellowish pubescence ; body beneath glossy 

 brown, the sides sprinkled with yellowish ; femora dark 

 brown, tibige and antennae light reddish-brown, the tarsi 

 covered with a grayish pubescence. 



Length 11 lines. 



In one of my specimens the basal and praeapical bands 

 are nearly obliterated ; it is a very distinct species. 



§§ Prothorax slightly (cJ) or not at all (?) dilated 

 at the sides. Upper surface uninterruptedly pubescent. 



Polyxo flexuosa.
