and antennas covered with large^ rounded or oblong 

 impressions, the narrow elevated lines dividing them 

 giving to the whole surface a somewhat cellulose appear-

I dedicate this remarkal^le insect to my friend E. W. 

 Janson, Esq. 



Fam. CISTELID^. 



Gen. CHROMOMiEA. 



Pascoe, Journ. Ent. ii. p. 490. 



With reference to the note, ante, p. 272, I may remark 

 that the genus Ltcymmus is quite distinct from Ghro- 

 onoiHcea. I doubt whether the specimen of Licymnhis 

 foveicollis, from which the description at pp. 271, 272,

 before I can decide this point.

 tip of mandibles, head, prothorax, scutellum, and elytra 

 deep shining black ; the elyti'a with a longitudinal 

 yellow stripe, which, curving inwards from the shouldei'S, 

 becomes gradually attenuated behind, and dies out be- 

 fore reaching the apex ; eyes prominent ; head rather 

 strongly, and somewhat rugosely, punctured ; labrum 

 sparingly punctured, and with a few long hairs ; pro- 

 thorax elongate, sub- cylindrical, scarcely narrowed in 

 front, hind angles narrowly rounded ; somewhat de- 

 pressed above, finely and closely punctured ; with the 

 usual large fovea on the middle of the base, within the

 scutellum large, transverse, punctured, broadly rounded 

 behind ; elytra half as wide again as the prothorax at 

 the base, which is bisinuate ; flattened above, rounded at 

 the shoulders, and, from thence, gradually tapered to the 

 apex, which is narrowly rounded ; punctate-striate : the 

 ])unctures not approximate ; save the sutural one, which 

 is very strongly impressed, these strife are abbreviated 

 behind, and gradually die out as they approach the sides 

 of the elytra ; the intervals, save the two nearest the suture,
