XXXIII. — Description of a neio Species o/" Sphenophorus 

 [Coleoptera, Calandridce). Bj Charles O. Wateehouse. 



Bphenopliorus Cumingii^ n. sp. 



Elliptico-ovalis, convesus, niger, nitidus; maculia eordide albis 



notatus. 

 Long. 7 lin. 



A little shorter than 8. piceus^ with the elytra decidedly- 

 more convex ; the thorax and tarsi quite differently formed. 

 Hostrum rather stout, shining, with a deep elongate fovea at 

 the base. The antenuee as in B. piceus. Thorax as long as 

 the width at the base, slightly constricted in the middle, 

 widest at the posterior angles, which are a little prominent. 

 The surface is dull, except the front part of the disk ; the 

 punctuation fine and moderately close, except in front, where 

 the punctures are larger. There is a yellowish-white spot 

 at the anterior angle, one in the middle in front (placed in a 

 slight depression), one on each side of the disk, and three at 

 the base. Scutellum small and narrow. Elytra broadest just 

 below the shoulders, very slightly constricted about the middle ; 

 shining, except a rather broad, dull velvety band across the 

 middle and at the apex j punctate-striate, the punctures in 

 the strise elongate, very distinct ; the interstices flat, very 

 delicately punctured on the disk, strongly punctured at the 

 base and apex. Each elytron has seven small yellowish- 

 white spots — one near the scutellum ; another below the 

 shoulder ; three rather behind the middle on the third, fifth, 

 and eighth interstices ; and two at the apex. Pygidium con- 

 vex, obtusely rounded at the apex, dull, the punctuation 

 rather fine. Underside with several white spots. The ante- 

 rior coxa3 more separated than in S. piceus^ with two slight 

 swellings behind them. Tarsi with the first and second 

 joints narrow, the third large, equilaterally triangular, with 

 the angles rounded.
