with ion lines of close, moderately strong punctures, Iho intervals 

 extremely oarrow, the alternate ones scaroely more distinct. 



The male is rather aarrow, the thorax broadesi in front, slightly 

 oonstrictod al tin- middle 



The female is broader and more parallel, and the thorax is quadrate. 



Vtur. A tingle female example differs from the typical form in 

 having the thorax, scutellnm, and Legs yellow; the thorax is .slightly 

 transverse and a little oonstrioted al the middle. The elytra have 

 the seoond, fourth, and Blxtfa interstioes distinctly costiform. This 

 may prove to be a distinct species.

Metriorrhynchus dilutus. 



(Plate XIV. fig. 6.) 



Parallelus, opacus, dilute flavus ; antennis fuscis, articulo basali 

 flavo ; thorace marginibus crebre punctatis ; elytris quadricostatis, 

 interstitiis biseriatim crebre punctatis (punctis elongatis), dimidio 

 apicali fusco ; abdomine fusco, ano flavo. Long. 3| lin.

Thorax quadrate, slightly transverse, the anterior areolets not 

 completely divided anteriorly ; these and the lateral margins thickly 

 punctured. Elytra with the four costae distinct, the intervals with
