or Cliniidoir had seen it, tliouGjh both refer to the species. 

 I have been able to examine the example so named by the 

 former (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1889, p. 2S0),antl I think his 

 determination is eorrect. The new speeies is ratlicr smaller 

 and narrower ; head more coarsely punctate ; prothorax 

 narrower, less rounded at sides, more coarsely punctate 

 (thon^'h less so than head) ; elytra narrower, coatee a little 

 narrower.

Zuphiiim indicnni, sp. n. 



Leng^th ll'Onim. ; width 3"75 mm. 



Ferrnj^inous, underside, joint 1 of antenna?, and marjjins 

 of prothorax darker, licad, prothorax, and border of elytra 

 red, elytra slaty-l)lack. Pubescence extremely short and fine. 



Head very convex behind, flat in front, surface very shiny, 

 thoufijh finely punctate, more sparsely on disk, eyes small, 

 frenac large and evenly rounded, antennie slender, reachinj^ 

 fully to apex of elytra. Prothorax cordate, slightly convex, 

 half as wide again as liead and a sliade longer tlnin wide, a 

 good deal more contracted behind than in front, sides gentlv 

 rounded and sinuate at a short distance from base, front 

 angles much rounded, liind angles slightly obtuse, reflexed, 

 not very sharp ; median line fine, a little dei)re3sed at 

 extremities, fovere elongate, curving outwards in front, sur- 

 face very finely and closely punctate, conflnently in the foveae, 

 moderately shiny. Elytra flat, with oblique, but distinct 

 shoulders, sides very gently rounded, almost j)arallcl, rather 

 more than half as wide again as prothorax, and as much 

 longer than wide ; strife (for the genus) rather deeply 

 impressed, more faintly near apex, very finely and closely 

 j)unctate, intervals flat, the odd ones almost imj)ereeptiblv 

 raised, a large pore at base of stria 1, pores of marginal series, 

 which is widely interrupted, very large, the marginal channel 

 fairly wide, surface very finely and closely punctate, verv 

 glossy ill appearance and consetjuently moderately shiny. 

 Underside finely and nearly uniformly punctate, rather more 

 shiny than upper surface. 



Closely allied to Z./r>rmo*i/m, Bates, but easily distinguished 

 by its immaculate elytra. Head less closely punctate and 

 more shiny, front not depressed, antennro with joint 1 much 

 darker than the other joints ; prothorax a little wider in
