markings also of the thorax are more than usually large. The 

 specimen before me is evidently a male, without an abdominal fovea 

 on last segment. 



417. Cryptocephalus longipes, sp. n. 



Fulvous ; apical joints of antennae, parts of breast, pygidium 

 and last abdominal segment black ; thorax with two black spots : 

 elytra with a transverse band at base not extending to suture and 

 another entire band near apex black. 



Head distinctly but sparingly punctured, longitudinally grooved 

 at middle; eyes deeply emarginate: clypeus separated at sides 

 from face ; antennae long and slender, third and fourth joints 

 equal, following very elongate and slender, basal five fulvous, rest 

 black. Thorax rather long but about one-half as broad again as 

 long, strongly narrowed in front, sides straight, surface impunctate, 

 a black spot on each side near middle, nearer to the anterior than to 

 the posterior margin. Scutellum black, flavotis at middle. Elytra 

 slightly narrowed posteriorly, deeply and strongly punctate-striate, 

 punctures closely placed, interstices slightly longitudinally raised, 

 transversely wrinkled here and there ; the first band extends 

 towards suture as far as the second row of punctures leaving 

 basal and extreme lateral margins narrowly fulvous, second band 

 extends across elytra quite to the margins, its edges sinuate ; both 

 bands of the same width, the apex beyond the second band appears 

 like a round fulvous spot. Legs very elongate and slender. 

 Prosternum not produced anteriorly, posterior angles short and 

 pointed. 



Length 3 mm.

Not unlike G. abbreviatuhis, Suffr. in coloration, but the thorax 

 with two spots, the elytra with two not one band, the pygidium 

 and part of underside spotted with black, and the antennae and 

 legs elongate and slender. The type specimen obtained by Doherty 

 seems to be a male.

" Narrowly elongate and subcylindrical, finely pubescent above ;
