the regularity on both sides, the variegation does not seem to be due 

 solely to that cause. The slight intervals between the punctures on the 

 elytra have a granulated appearance. 



Agapanthida differs from Phlyctcsnqdes in its finely facetted eyes, an 

 exceptional character in its own and allied groups. 



Ophryops. 



White; Voy. Er. Terr., Ins., p. 19. 



Antenna longer than the body, inserted in line with the front part of 

 the eyes ; scape elongate sub-pyriform, second joint small, third and 

 fourth shorter than the fifth to ninth which are the longest, the other 

 two decrease in length. The head is sub-ovate, with a short muzzle ; it 

 is constricted behind the eyes, and again widened at the base ; the eyes 

 are lunate and coarsely facetted, the inner edge clothed with short hairs. 

 The thorax is about as long as broad, obtusely rounded laterally, nar- 

 rowest in front, constricted near the apex, the base margined and 

 abruptly contracted. Scutellum triangular, its base depressed. The 

 elytra are elongate, somewhat wider than the prothorax, humeral angles 

 prominent, sides parallel, apices singly rounded, with the extreme edge 

 sub-truncate. Legs elongate, femora dilated beyond the middle. An- 

 terior COXCR sub-globose, sub-contiguous ; intermediate not remote. 



1007. O. pallidUS, White; Voy. Er. Terr., Ins., p. 19. Antennal 

 joints one to three rugosely punctate ; scape rufous, two to four fuscous, 

 the others rufo-testaceous ; all more or less pilose. Body moderately 

 shining, testaceous, tibiae and tarsi reddish. The head has a dorsal line, 

 and a depression between the antennal orbits ; its frontal portion and 

 vertex are rugosely, the hind part remotely, punctured. The thorax 

 has an almost smooth dorsal line, which is widest behind the middle, 

 and one on each side of it not reaching the apex also smooth and 

 polished ; the rest of the surface is rather dull and punctulate, with a 

 few larger impressions distributed over the surface, some also on the 

 polished lines ; there are, near each side, in front of the middle, two 

 small obtuse polished elevations which are not however very apparent. 

 The elytra are finely margined, their surface punctate, the punctures red, 

 and they bear two indistinct longitudinal discoidal lines on each ; the 

 sides beyond the posterior femora as well as the apices are ciliated. The 

 under-side is remotely punctate and sparsely pilose. The elytral disc is 

 flat, the sides compressed.
