wliole distance between the bind coxaj ; on either side of the 

 inipressioij the segment is raised into a ridge which bears 

 rather long- pubescence. 



(iii.) li. aqtiilinusj sp. n., J : a marked longitudinal ini- 

 ]iression, broadening behind, along the posteiior ^ of the 

 inetastemum, tlie pubescence in the impression being mucii 

 closer than on either side of it ; first abdominal segment with 

 no imjjression, but with a little median group of iiairs.

Long. Corp. 0:85 mm. 



Outline shown in fig. 37 ; the thorax appears a little 

 shoitcr than it actually is, owing to its being bent down ; 

 length of the elytra very nearly equal to their combined 

 breadth, which is greatest a little before the middle. Body 

 above shining, glabrous ; finely and closely alutaceous above 

 and beneatii. Colour: thorax reddish yellow, elytra dark 

 castaneous brown, in the type-specimen lighter and more 

 reddish in the posterior half near the suture ; ventral surface 

 castaneous brown, antennse and legs yellowish, clubs of the 

 antennce not blackened. Antennoi (fig. 38) a little longer 

 than the width of the head from eye to eye. Thorax nar- 

 rowly margined at the sides, with base very shallowly 

 sinuate on either side of the middle, and hind angles (seen 

 from the side) slightly less than right angles; surface im- 

 })Uiic(ate. Scutelltun rounded. Elytra with lateral margins 

 narrowly reflexed, but in viewing a specimen from vertically 

 above the margins are only visible behind the shoulder and 

 again for a short S])ace behind the middle ; sutural stria 

 quite absent; surface with fine double punctures, each con- 

 sisting of two slightly elongated punctures lying close side 

 by side*; in a transverse direction the double punctures are 

 about their own diameter apart, but in a longitudinal direc- 

 tion about twdce this distance. Wiuys : no trace of these 



* The akitaceoiis surface and double punctures are characteristic of a 

 number of other mumhers of the genus.
