middle, the sutural is slightly shorter ; the propygidium and 

 pygidium are microscopically strigose over their whole surfaces, 

 the first is irregularly punctured, the second has a deep some- 

 what circular fovea on either side at the base, which is 

 obscurely punctured between the fovea? ; the prosternum, the 

 keel is rather narrow and without strige ; the mesosternum is 

 rather widely eraarginate and has a bent stria on either side, 

 which is continued laterally along the metasternum, trans- 

 versely there is a median arched stria, which is common also 

 to the metasternum ; the first abdominal segment is laterally 

 bistriate ; the anterior tibiae are 5-spinose.

Ehlisia infans, sp. n. 



Ovata, parum couvesa, punctulata, picea, nitida ; frontc stria trans- 

 versa bisinuata, ntrinque interrupta ; pronoto stria lateral! autice 

 abbreviata ; elytris striis 1-4 intcgris, 5 ultra medium, suturali 

 basi, abbreviatis ; prosterno baud striate ; mesosterno bistriato ; 

 tibiis anticis 5-dentatis. 



Oval, ratlier convex, plceous and shining; the head 

 sparsely punctulate on the vertex, stria bisiuuous and inter- 

 rupted near the eyes ; the thorax, the lateral stria is distant 

 from the margin, but turns towards it at the base, and it is 

 much shortened in front, behind the anterior angles the 

 marginal stria faint and arched (like that in E. Xairii), but 

 behind the neck it is stronger and crenulate, the scutellar 

 ])uncture is very small but distinct, and close in front of it is 

 a second even smaller ; the elytra, stride 1-4 complete, 5 

 extends beyond the middle, sutural is shortened well before 

 the base; the propygidium is distinctly punctate; the py- 

 gidium is smooth and has two deep lobe-shaped excavations 

 placed transversely at the base ; the prosternum, the keel is 

 narrow and without striae and the anterior lobe is punctate; 

 the mesosternum is widely eraarginate, the marginal stria is 

 complete and close to the edge at the emargination only, the 

 transverse stria is widely arched, both these strise are rather 

 fine and both continue along the metasternum, the surfaces of 

 the meso- and metasterna are distinctly but not densely 

 ]>unctulate ; the anterior tibiae are 5-dentate. 



This is the smallest species of the genus known.
