Flavous ; thorax with a transverse black band ; elytra with a 

 small spot at base and an elongate sutural spot in the middle, 

 piceous ; body beneath more or less piceous. 



Head finely punctured, base of vertex more or less black or 

 with a central black spot ; clypeus broadly transverse, scarcely 

 separated from the face, strongly punctured ; antennae black, 

 basal four joints flavous, third shorter than the fourth, rest 

 slender. Thorax nearly twice as broad as long, sides rounded ; 

 surface very finely and rather closely punctured, a narrow 

 transverse piceous band in the middle, strongly constricted at each 

 end. Elytra flavous, elongate, with a shallow basal depression ; 

 surface punctate-striate, punctures finer towards the apex, base 

 with a piceous spot in the middle, suture with another spot of 

 variable size, often very narrow. Beneath piceous ; legs flavous. 



Var. Thorax and elytra without spots. 



Length 3-5 mm.

829. Cleoporus inornatus, sp. n. 



Pale fulvous or testaceous ; terminal joints of antennae piceous. 



Head entirely impunctate ; clypeus more or less distinctlv 

 separated from the face ; antennae with the five or six basal 

 joints pale, rest piceous, basal joint short and thick, second 

 smaller but thickened, third slightly longer, following joints of 

 nearly similar length. Thorax scarcely half as broad again as 

 long, sides nearly straight, angles acute, posterior margin feebly 

 produced at the middle. Scutellum ovate. Elytra wider at the 

 base than the thorax, with a very feeble depression below the 

 base, extremely finely punctate-striate, apex nearly impunctate, 

 sutural and lateral margins sometimes obscure piceous.

In several specimens before me, the thorax has some few 

 shallow punctures, in others these are entirely absent; in the 

 latter specimens the antennas are rather longer and the thorax is 

 less transverse. These are probably the males.
