 Hah. — Ecuador. 



At first sight, the single specimen from which I have 

 drawn up the above description, looks like a starved 

 individual of the former species, but in addition to the 

 more oblique sides of the thorax, and the peculiar sculp- 

 turing of its disc, the broader form, the less acuminate 

 apex, and the deeper punctation of the elytra, will easily 

 separate it from that insect.
