(described below). I cannot find any other character at all 
suggestive of generic difference from Zonitis, of which it has 
completely the facies. It should be noted that only two joints 
of an antenna remain in the unique type, so that [ am not 
absolutely certain of the second joint being not much shorter than 
the third, but as the second joint is scarcely shorter than the basal 
one there is no likelihood of its being much shorter than the 
third.

Z. subrugata, sp. nov. Sat brevis; minus angusta; obscure 
rufa, elytris obscure viridibus submetallicis, capite tibiis 
tarsisque picescentibus; minus nitida; capite modice 
elongato, antice minus angustato (labro leviter transverso, 
antice truncato), dupliciter (subtiliter et rugulose sat 
grosse) confertim punctulato ; antennarum articulo 2° quam 
3°* tertia parte breviori; oculis modicis sat transversis ; 
prothorace quam latiori parum longiori, antice sat angustato, 
ut caput punctulato, pone medium longitudinaliter breviter 
canaliculato, sat ineequali (ante medium bifoveolato), later- 
ibus pone medium sat parallelis ante medium antrorsum 
arcuatim convergentibus, angulis anticis nullis; elytris con- 
fertim nec grosse rugulosis, lineis elevatis nullo modo 
perspicuis. Long., 51.; lat., 21. 
The head and prothorax ace subopaque owing to the presence 
of close fine puncturation, among which is thinly intermingled 
a number of feebly impressed somewhat coarse punctures. The 
elytral puncturation is not unlike that of Z. tricolor, but is very 
evidently less fine and more asperate. This species in many 
respects corresponds with the description of Z. rugata, Fairm. 
(of which its author says he has seen only examples probably 
immature), but I do not think it can be that species, as its 
elytra.are described as “ rugose-vermiculate with the interstices 
sparsely punctulate,” which does not at all fit the present insect, 
which also differs from the description in having the under- 
surface (not black but) red, an improbable variation if the type 
was immature ; also in the elytra not being acuminate behind, 
the prothorax having two very well defined round fovee i in front 
of the middle, &e.
