CLEOEINA. 489 



of the elytra, basal three joints fulvous beneath, fifth and follow ing 

 joints subtriangularly widened. Thorax barely twice as broad as 

 long, sides straight or nearly so, anterior sulcus entire; surface 

 very remotely and finely punctured, in the middle of the disc the 

 punctures shallow. Scutellum oblong, obscure piceous. Elytra 

 wider at base than the thorax, convex, with a short but deep 

 depression below the base, finely punctured within the depression 

 and near the suture only, rest impunctate, very shining. Legs 

 black ; femora strongly thickened ; intermediate and posterior tibia? 

 deeply emarginate near the apex ; claws appendiculate. 



Lenr/tli 3 1 mm.

848. Cleorina fulva, sp. n. 



Fulvous ; apical joints of antenna? black. 



Subquadrate-ovate. Head impunctate on the vertex, middle 

 with a short groove and a few fine punctures ; a deep semicircular 

 groove from above the eyes to the sides of the clypeus, anterior 

 margin of the latter concave ; antennae with the basal three joints 

 flavous, rest black, terminal five joints widened but not wider than 

 long. Thorax more than twice as broad as long, sides strongly 

 rounded, surface convex, with some minute shallow punctures. 

 Elytra with a shallow depression below the base, finely punctate- 

 striate, punctures obsolete at the apex. 



Length 3 mm.

Differs from any of its allies in the uniform non-metallic colora- 

 tion, also in the more than usually thickened terminal joints of 

 the antenna?. 



849. Cleorina saturata, Jac. Ann. Soc. Ent. Bely. xliv, 1900, p. 111. 



Beneath piceous, above and the legs fulvous. Elytra fulvous, 

 with a sutural band, narrowed and shortened posteriorly, and the 

 extreme lateral margins black. 



Ovate, rounded in shape ; the head impunctate ; the eyes large ; 

 the clypeus not separated from the face ; antenna? flavous, long 

 and rather slender, second joint thickened, scarcely shorter than 

 the basal joint, third and fourth joints slender, equal, terminal 

 joints stained with fuscous, elongate and slightly thickened. 

 Thorax more than twice as broad as long, sides feebly rounded, 

 the angles distinct, the surface minutely and not very closely 

 punctured, the sides and the space near the anterior angles 

 impunctate, posterior margin feebly produced at the middle. 

 Scutellum fulvous. Elytra not depressed below the base, convex, 

 regularly punctate- striate, the punctures larger at the sides than 

 over the rest of: the surface, those near the suture nearly confluent, 

 forming stria? ; each elytron with a broad sutural band, from the 

 base to behind the middle, where it is narrowed and terminated
