UYPOLAMPSIS. 



7. Hypolarnpsis Dohmii. 



H. oblongo-ovata, subrobusta, obsolete pubescens, fusca; capite vix 

 producto, punctato ; tJiorace transverso, ad basin constricto et 

 transverse depresso, punctato ; elytris robustls, punctato-striatis, 

 ante medium transverse depressis, fuscis, ad apicem et ad humeros 

 rufo sujfusis; antennis subdilatatis, art. 1-6 flavis, 7 et 8 fuscis, 

 9-11 testaceis ; pedibus flavis, femoribus posticis fuscis. 



Long. corp. li lin., lat. f lin. 



Oblong-ovate, subrobust and snbparallel, obsolctely pubescent, 

 fuscous. Head short, transverse, almost vertical, slightly produced 

 in front ; between the basal joints of the antennas is an obsolete 

 longitudinal carination ; the surface is finely punctate and pubescent ; 

 eyes tolerably large, situated nearly at the base of the head. Thorax 

 transverse (almost quadrate), constricted towards the base ; the sides 

 finely marginate; the base not so distinctly depressed as in the 

 preceding species ; the surface is thickly punctate and impubescent. 

 Scutellum large, triangular. Elytra broader than the thorax, sub- 

 cylindrical, punctate-striate, antemedially transversely depressed; 

 the surface is very obsoletely pubescent, fuscous, suffused with paler 

 rufous colour at the apex and near the humeral angles : this rufous 

 colouring is more or less distinct in different examples. Antennae 

 slightly dilated towards the apex ; joints one to six flavous (the first 

 and sixth joints being in some specimens suffused with fuscous), seven 

 and eight fuscous, nine to eleven testaceous. Legs flavous, the pos- 

 terior femora being fuscous. 



This species, closely allied to H. Miersii, may be separated from it 

 by its less deep punctuation on the elytra.

 transverse carinato, inter oculos hngitudinaliter foveolato ; thorace 

 trnasverso, ad medium suhdilatato, subtiliter pubescentij elytris 

 latis, punctato-striatis, ante medium transverse depressis, maculis 

 albis sparsim notatis ; antennis ad apicem inorassatis, art. 1-6 

 rufo-fuscis, 7 et 8 pallide testaceis, 9-11 fuscis ; pedibus flavis, 

 tarsis anterioribus nigro-fuscatis, f< moribus posticis piceis.

Ovate, broad, impubescent, ferrugineo-piceous. Head short, trans- 

 verse, subdepressed, elongated in front ; above the labrum is a some- 

 what prominent transverse ridge, separated from the base of the 

 antennas by a smooth glabrous depression ; immediately above the
