clothed with suberect griseous hairs, coarsely and much more 

 closely punctured than the thorax ; slightly excavated and ir- 

 regularly and transversely wrinkled below the basilar space. 



The present species differs from 0. mespili and humeralis 

 in its shorter and more coarsely punctured thorax, and in the 

 absence of the smooth longitudinal space on the vertex and 

 front, present in both the other species. 



Fara. Crioceridge. 

 Syneta Adamsi. 



S. elongata, griseo-pubescens, sordide fusco-fuiva, supra dense 

 punctata, antennis, pedibus elytrorumque margine tenui fulvis, 

 pectore piceo, oculis nigris ; thorace crebre punctate, lateribus 

 obtuse angulatis, irregulariter dentatis ; elytris rude striatim 

 punctatis, singulatim costis elevatis quatuor instructis, costis

 Collected by Mr. A. Adams. 



Head coarsely punctured, lower portion of clypeus smooth, 

 impunctate. Thorax transverse, coarsely punctured ; sides 

 obtusely angled, irregulately dentate. Elytra strongly punc- 

 tate-striate ; each with four longitudinal costse — the second 

 and third only slightly raised and often nearly obsolete, the 

 third only visible towards its apex, the fourth strongly raised. 



Nearly allied to Syneta betulce^ but differing from that 

 insect in the obtusely angled sides of the thorax. 



Fam. Cryptocephalidse.
