T60 CATALOGUE OF 



vertex conical, depressed ; front oblique, with four slight diverging keels ; 

 the inner keels connected aud forming a ridge in front of the eyes ; furrow 

 on each side of the vertex hardly apparent. Antennae testaceous, brownish 

 towards the tips, as long as the head and the prothorax together. Prothorax 

 with three very slight keels; the outer keels diverging slightly between the 

 first transverse furrow and the hind border, which is rounded. Abdomen 

 testaceous, slightly pilose; basal part with two broad blackish stripes. 

 Hind femora much longer than the abdomen. Hind tibia? a little shorter 

 than the abdomen. Fore wings brown ; a pale green lanceolate stripe along 

 the hind border, not extending to the tip; costa dilated near the base. 

 Hind wings pellucid, with a blackish brown costal streak and with brown 

 tips; veins black, testaceous at the base. Length of the body 6 lines; 

 expansion of the fore wings 12 lines. 



This species differs from the typical species of Stenobothrus in the 

 indistinctness of the furrows of the vertex. It has some resemblance to 

 Cbrysochraou filatus, but the head is much shorter and the antenna; are 

 not flattened.

 depressum, longi-conicum, svlcis lateralibus sublinearibus ; antennce 

 longiusculce, apice fuscce ; prothorax subrugulosus, carinis lateralibus 

 postice sub/lexis, margine poslico rotundato, sulcis transversis sub- 

 undulatis ; tibice postica basi nigricanles pallido unifasciata ; alee

 dark brown stripe extending from the eye to the metalhorax. Head with 

 the tip of the vertex depressed, elongate-conical ; furrow on each side 

 nearly linear; front oblique, with four slight diverging keels; inner keels 

 forming a ridge between the sockets of the antennae. Antennae slender, 

 filiform, brown towards the tips, a little longer than the head and the pro- 

 thorax together. Prothorax transversely and very slightly rugulose, with 

 three very slight keels ; inner keel diverging slightly towards the hind 

 border, which is rounded; transverse furrows slightly undulating. Abdo- 

 men slightly pilose, somewhat shorter than the hind femora. Hind tibiae 

 nearly as lonjf as the abdomen, blackish at the base, near which there is a 

 pale band. Fore wings brown, with a testaceous lanceolate stripe along 

 the hind boider. Hind wings slightly cinereous, brownish at the tips, with 

 a black costal streak; veins black, testaceous at the base and along the 

 interior border. Length of the body 6 lines; expansion of the fore wings
