stripe on each side of prothorax. Prothorax and elytra with 

 suberect whitish setse, on the latter forming a single row ou 

 each interstice. 



Head flat ; a narrow fovea between eyes. Rostrum mode- 

 rately transverse, sides gently incurved to middle, with a 

 narrow median carina and a less di>tinct oblique one near 

 each side. Antennse moderately long and curved ; first joint 

 of funicle slightly longer than second. Prothorax strongly 

 transverse, base strongly bisiuuate and much wider than 

 apex, which is truncate. Elytra not much wider than pro- 

 thorax ; with rows of large almost concealed punctures. 

 Femora very feebly dentate. 



Length 5-6 mm. 



? . Differs in having eyes rather less prominent, antennae 

 and legs somewhat shorter, and abdomen more convex.

In size and shape closely resembles speciosus, but the 

 clothing is nowhere green. From castor it differs in having 

 the elytra rather narrower, rostrum distinctly shorter, and 

 prothorax wider at the base, with a conspicuous dark stripe 

 on each side. From pollux it differs in being somewhat 

 smaller, with the rostrum decidedly shorter and more flat- 

 tened, and the antennae somewhat thinner. In my table ^ 

 of the genus it would be associated with cinerascens, from 

 which it difl'ers in the dark patches of scales, in the rostrum 

 being shorter and squarer, and the elytral setae much more 

 conspicuous. The clothing is much as on fascomaculatus, 

 but the rostrum is considerably wider and prothorax more 

 dilated to base. The femoral teeth are very minute, and 

 could easily be overlooked.
