longer than the first, distinctly longer than the second ; fourth 

 longer than broad, fifth a little shorter and thicker ; joints 8 

 to 10 transverse, eleventh nearly twice the length of the 

 tenth. Thorax rather longer than broad, widest before the 

 middle, its punctuation slightly finer than that of the head, 

 still finer in front ; near the base in the middle there is a 

 fovea-like depression ; when locked at from the side there 

 appears to be a fine dorsal furrow ; the base is broadly 

 rounded and margined ; the pubescence is yellow, but very 

 scanty and slender; there are also some fine fuscous setae 

 along the sides. Elytra subquadrate, much broader than the 

 thorax, with rounded shoulders ; their sculpture is distinct, 

 close, rugose or granular, but becomes finer towards the 

 apices ; the yellowish pubescence is most conspicuous across 

 the middle and near the hinder portion of the suture. Hind 

 body with more distinct but more scanty clothing ; the de- 

 pressed basal portion of the first four segments with elongate 

 punctiform impressions arranged in transverse series ; the 

 fifth, behind, with two or three rows of oviform granular 

 elevations across it ; the sixth much rounded, with numerous 

 rather coarse granules. Legs elongate, with fine pubescence. 



This may be placed near G. cera?-ia (No. 173) ; it has, 

 however, longer antennas and a broader head. It may be 

 distinguished from all the previously described species by the 

 obvious granular sculpture of the terminal abdominal seg- 

 ments. In No. 171, a very different insect, the granules on 

 these segments are finer and more distant.

Calodera diversa, sp. n. 



Elongate ; head and thorax dark red, elytra pale yellowish 

 red, abdomen rufo-castaneous and more nitid than the thorax, 

 legs and antennae obscure red. 



Closely allied to C. granifer, more brightly coloured ; the 

 thorax has a more evident dorsal furrow, which is expanded 

 near the extremities; the sculpture is rather closer and finer, 

 and it is rather densely clothed with fine silky yellow hairs ; 

 the elytra are much more finely and distantly sculptured and 

 not at all rugose, their pubescence is dense and bright yellow ; 

 the fifth dorsal segment is not granulate : the antennce differ, 

 they are rather shorter and are without erect fuscous setae ; 

 their first three joints, though elongate, are shorter, the fourth 

 and fifth joints are not longer than broad, being just about 

 quadrate ; joints 6 to 10 are transverse.
