HO NATURAL HISTORY BULLETIN. 



rugae. Antennae and palpi paler than the head, the former 

 slightly darker at tip. Thorax about as in E. trivittatus Lee, 

 base truncate at middle, oblique near hind angles, inside of 

 which is a large deep foveiform impression; side margins nar- 

 rowly reflexed. Disk finely transversely rugose, median line 

 deep, not punctured, broader before and behind the middle. 

 Elytra much broader than the thorax, slightly wider behind 

 the middle, sides nearly parallel, apex obliquely truncate, the 

 outer angle rounded, sutural nearly right. Stria? deeper on 

 the disk shallower at the sides, strial punctures fine and 

 close but distinctly separated. Interstices broad and flat, very 

 finely alutaceous, each wiih a rather irregular row of punc- 

 tures finer than those of the striae. Two dorsal punctures 

 between second and third striae, one near the apex, the 

 other about one-third from the base. Body beneath of same 

 color as above, very spa'rsely punctured. -Legs vellowish- 

 testaceous. Length 5.25 mm. 



This insect has been placed in Enftroctus since it seems to 

 fill all the requirements of the genus. In comparison with 

 Dr. Horn's figure of E. trivittatus Lee, the following differ- 

 ences are manifest, none of which seem to me of sufficient 

 importance to invalidate the generic reference: In texanus the 

 penultimate joint of the labial palpi is quadrisetose and the bot- 

 tom of the emargination of the mentum is very obtusely, hardly 

 visibly bilobed. In all of the characters noted in the diagnosis x 

 the correspondence is exact. A number of specimens were 

 obtained by beating foliage in jungles during June and July. 

 It was also met with by Mr. Schwarz. 



Callida punctulata Chaud. (Bull, de la Soc. Imp. 

 Moscow, xxi., 1848, p. 87 in sep.) Form broad, resembling 

 certain Ptatyni; color blackish, tinged with green on the head 

 and thorax, a broad greenish margin on the latter. Beneath 

 obscure greenish, tips of tibiae and the tarsi piceous. Head 

 longitudinally impressed each side above antennal ridges, a 

 vague fovea between the anterior portions of the eyes from 

 which point radiate fine rugosities. Labrum concave. Thorax
