 etytris sabcylindricis, punctato-striatis, ante medium depressis, 

 irregtdariter jlavo-pubescentibiis ; antennis subdilatatis, pallide

Long. corp. 1| lin., lat. f lin. 



Oblong, ovate, flavo-pnbescent, punctate-striate, of a pale rufo- 

 flavous colour. Head short, transverse, hardly prodiiced in front ; 

 above the labrum is a transverse plane depression ; immediately above 

 the base of the antenna? is a small longitudinal medial fovea, which 

 bisects at its upper extremity another transverse fovea, this latter 

 extending obliquely to the upper and inner margin of the eyes ; the 

 eyes are in form globose, situated at the base of the head ; the surface 

 is finely punctate, and in coloiu' rufo-ferrugineous. Thorax trans- 

 verse (almost quadrate) ; the anterior margin slightly rounded ; at 

 the base the sides are subconstricted ; near the basal line (and also 

 less broadly near the anterior margin) the surface is transversely de- 

 pressed ; finely punctate, flavo -pubescent, and rufo-flavous, the sides 

 being narrowly piceous. Scutellum triangular, impunctate, rufo- 

 ferrugineous. Elytra subcylindrical, punctate-striate, antemedially 

 depressed, clothed irregularly with thick pale flavous pubescence ; this 

 pubescence gives a pale flavous colour to the apex, to the margination, 

 and also to an irregularly-formed medial oblique band, which extends 

 from the margination to the fifth or sixth striae ; the antcmedial de- 

 pression also is similarly flavo-pubescent. Antennce filiform, with a 

 tendency to dilatation ; in colour pale flavous, the seventh and eighth 

 joints being ferrugincous. Legs pale flavous, the inflation above the 

 apical claw being rufous. 



The form of the thorax will identify this species from among most 

 of its congeners ; it is slightly constricted at the base, and transversely 

 depressed at the anterior as well as the posterior margins ; it may be 

 distinguished still further by its pale flavous colour and the markings 

 on the elytra.
