 grooves on disc uniting in front, distinct in c?, indistinct in ?. Elytra with small 

 dispersed punctures in basal half, besides the extremely minute and dense 

 pnncturation ; apices obliquely truncate, outer angle more j)rqjecting, acuminate

IT. Cordylomera vittata spec. nov. 



S- Ochraceous tawny, clothed with a grey pubescence ; prosternum (except 

 apex) and head brownish ; legs luteous ; incrassate parts of femora (except a spot 

 on upperside), apices of tibiae and of antenna! segments 3 to 11, antennal segments 

 1 and 2, a mesial and a lateral vitta on prothorax, interrupted in middle, scntellum, 

 lateral margin of elytra, base of suture, and a vitta from base near shoulder to apex 

 of suture, brown-black. Antenna twice the length of the body, spines directed 

 distad, segment T without spine, 4 a little shorter than 3, this shorter than 5. 

 Prothorax depressed above, widest behind middle, scarcely longer than broad at 

 the widest point, no distinct punctnration ; mesial line slightly raised in front and 

 behind. Elytra coarsely punctate all over, somewhat rugate ; apical spine short.

One c?. 



Close to C. schocnhcrri (1871) Fahrs., but elytra different in pattern. 



.Synonymical note: — 



Stenomalus ocellatus (1883) Qned. is the same as Allophi/ton bilocalare (1878) 

 Thorns. 



Ceresida (1894) Jord. is a synonym of Alloeme (1893) Lameere, C. antennalis 

 being the same as A. murrayi. 



Antennica (1S94) Jord. is the same as Pseuderes (1893) Lameere ; but in the 

 two species described by me the fourth segment of the antenna is shorter than 

 the third, while the two are of equal length in exttl, of which the type is in the 

 Tring Museum (ex coll. Alliiaud). In exnl the pronotum has a black mesial spot, 

 while in lutea and niyripes there is a black line extending from occiput to 

 scntellum.

Similar to 0. e%««*- (188T) Fairm. Larger. Elytra minutely and dispersedly 

 punctate, the jjuncturcs subseriate; a broad antemedian polished band posteriorly 

 bordered by a narrow, raised bnff line which is transverse at suture, curving soon 

 abruptly at an obtuse angle obliquely backwards towards lateral margin ; halfway
