vertex faintly impressed with a median line. Prothorax punctured 

 and pubescent like the head. Scutellum rather short, rounded 

 posteriorly, covered with yellowish-grey 

 pubescence. Elytra slightly depressed 

 near the suture, each with a rather 

 broad shallow channel between the side 

 and the centre of the disc in the middle 

 two-thirds of its length ; the surface 

 strongly and very densely punctured all 

 over, the punctures carrying each a small 

 curved seta, those placed along the outer 

 half of the disc have a slight tendency to 

 be arranged in longitudinal rows and are

x 5 those near the suture and along the sides ; 



apex of each elytron truncate and slightly 



oblique, the angles not acute. Underside and legs very densely 

 and more or less finely punctate. Antennae of the female do 

 not quite reach to the apex of the elytra ; fourth and following 

 joints canaliculate, the channels somewhat deeper and more distinct 

 on the last three or four joints. Wings with narrow elliptical 

 cell in course of first anal vein.

71. Caraphia minor, sp. n. 



Very like C. cribraia, but smaller and relatively somewhat 

 narrower, with the antennae longer, those of the female extending 

 by about the last two joints past the apex of the elytra, and 

 with the fifth and sixth joints longer in proportion to the fourth ; 

 the channels along the joints scarcely distinguishable except on 

 the last four or five ; the punctures of the elytra form definite 

 longitudinal rows, except near the suture and along the lower 

 part of each side, the punctures of alternate rows oblong, 

 carrying each a short, curved, pale tawny seta, the others more 

 quadrate, not setigerous ; the dorso-lateral depression on each 

 elytron very faint ; the wings without cell in the course of the 

 first anal vein. 



The male of this species, if I am right in considering as such 

 the smaller of the only two specimens I have seen, differs but 

 little from the female the antennae are a little longer, extending 

 by nearly three joints past the apex of the elytra ; the last 

 ventral segment is not shorter than the penultimate, whereas in 

 the male, as well as in the female of C. cribrata, it is appreciably 

 shorter.
