444 Rev. H. S. Gorham's descriptions of 



apicali interrupta irregulari flavis, nigro-marglnatis ; anten- 

 narum articiilis quatuor ultimis nigris. Long. lin. 2. 



Very near to jE". qucRsitus, Gorli. [Endom. Recit. p. 51], 

 but presenting the following points of difference : — The 

 antenna? are darker and have four joints at the apex 

 entirely black, their club is longer and not so abrupt; 

 the thorax is narrower in front, the hinder angles more 

 acute, its sides are therefore not parallel near the base, the 

 basal sulci also converging, the sides are also somewhat 

 tliickened and elevated. The pattern of the yellow mark- 

 ings is also different, especially of the sub-apical fascia, 

 which in this species is in the form of an irregular lunule, 

 the convex side towards the base.

Genus Stenotaesus, Perty. 



[Section B. a.] 

 Stenotarsus leoninus, n. sp. 



Oblongo-ovatus, castaneus, obsolete striato-punctatus, 

 pube brevi dense vestitus ; antennis ferrugineis, articulis 

 tribus ante-penultimis obscurioribus, thorace antrorsum 

 angustato. Long. lin. 3. 



Of the size, and very nearly allied to S. ursinns, Gerst. 

 Head and thorax scarcely perceptibly punctured, the 

 latter narrowed from the base to the middle, from which 

 the sides are rounded in to the anterior angles ; lateral 

 margin only slightly narrowed at the base. Elytra very 

 obsoletely punctured, the stria3 being only visible near the 

 humeral callus, densely but very finely clothed with 

 golden pubescence. Antennfe with the joints proportioned 

 as in ursinus, but with the 7th, 8th and 9th darker; Avitli 

 this exception, the Avhole insect is nearly concolorous, 

 w^liich, with the differently-shaped thorax, finer punctua- 

 tion and striffi and closer pubescence, easily distinguish it 

 from ursinus, its only near ally.
