Hopatrum in the form of its maxillary palpi, its elytra closely 
fitted to the prothorax and its incomplete elytral epipleure, but 
differs in its entire clypeus and transverse non-sinuate labrum. 
The insect before me (which I have received from Mr. Masters) 
agrees with this description, and is evidently very near to Hopa- 
trum. But in his description of the typical species, Mr. Pascoe 
says that the eyes are nearly entire; in that respect Mr. Masters’ 
insect differs much, the ocular canthus cutting into the eyes 
scarcely if at all less deeply than it does in Hopatrum.

Apparently with a good deal of general resemblance to J. 
crenata, Pasc., but differing from it (besides in the shape of the 
eyes already alluded to) inter alia by the puncturation of the 
head, which is said to be in crenata “rather finely and closely 
punctured on the vertex,” the tuberculate elytra, &c. The well- 
defined rows of tubercles on each elytron are eight in number ; 
between the last of these and the external margin is a space on 
which the sculpture is somewhat confused, but bears at least one 
fairly defined row of tubercles.
