509. Nodina robusta, Jac. Ann. Mus. Civ. Genova, xxxii, 1892, p. 903. 



Broadly rounded, convex ; black beneath, bluish-black above ; 

 basal joints of antennae and base of anterior femora fulvous. 



Head remotely and finely punctured near the clypeus, vertex 

 nearly impunctate, anterior edge of clypeus angulate-emarginate; 

 labrum fulvous ; antennae black, basal five joints fulvous, terminal 

 joints short and thick. Thorax nearly two and a half times as broad 

 as long, sides very feebly rounded ; surface very finely punctured, 

 punctures at sides elongate. (In the original description the 

 puncturation is given as strong, this is an unfortunate error.) 

 Elytra moderately strongly punctate-striate, rows rather distantly 

 placed, punctures very faint at apex. Base of anterior and inter- 

 mediate femora fulvous, rest black. 



Length 3 mm.
