Ruteline Cohoptera of Ceyhi}. o65 



coarsely and closely punctured^ with the sides rounded, the 

 front angles acute and the hind angles obtuse. The scutel- 

 lum is moderately closely punctured and setose, and the 

 elytra are rather lightly punctured, except at the sides, with 

 slightly indicated double rows of regular punctures. The 

 pygidium is finely punctured, the sides of the metasternum 

 are closely pitted and the middle smooth. 



The front tibia of the male bears two sharp teeth and a 

 very feeble upper one, and the pygidium is convex, with an 

 almost smooth area at the apex. 



The front tibia of the female has three teeth, the pygidium 

 is flattened and slightly emarginate at the apex. 



The clypeus scarcely differs in the two sexes.

Reddish brown, with tbe clypeus and elytra generally 

 ligbter in coloiir, the latter with dark margins. It is elon- 

 gate in shape and r;.tl.er shining, the forehead and pro- 

 thorax being slightly metallic. It is clothed with greyish 

 setae, which aie dense upon the scutellum and moderately 

 close upon the apices of the elytra and the pygidium, but; 

 elsewhere rather scanty. The elytra bear a few erect hairs. 

 'Ihe clypeus is not large, rugose, with tbe margin semi- 

 circular and very strongly reHexed, and the forehead is very 

 coarsely punctured. The pronotum is very shining, very 

 strongly punctured, with the lateral margins rounded, the 

 front angles acute and the hind angles obtuse. The elytra 

 are rather closely punctured, with indistinct double lines of 

 punctures. The pygidium and the sides of the metasternum 

 are clothed with long hairs, the former rather lightly and the 

 latter more strongly and closely punctured. The front tibia 

 is tri dentate.
