CORESTKTHA. 



(Dorcadionina?.) 



Caput parvnm, inter antennas latum, fronte transversa ; htbrnm 

 amplum. nntice rotundatum. OckU late emarginati, fortiter 

 granulati. Aiifentur corpore vix longiores, articulo basali sub- 

 pyriforuii, tertio longiusculo, recto, coeteris gradatim brevioribus. 

 J*rothor(i.v oblongus, cylindricus, capite baud latior, >SniteUum 

 nullum. Ehftra oblonga, prothorace baud latiora, Prdes breves ; 

 femora valida ; tibice omnes breves, intermedia^ profunde emargi- 

 nata?, postoriores baud compressae. Coxce anticoe globosae, sejunctae. 

 Pro- et 7ne.<ioster)ia elongata. Abdomen segraento basali duobus 

 seqnentibus conjunctim longiore. 



Closelv allied to Mesolita ; but Avhile the posterior tibife are 

 scarcely as long as the tarsus, and terete, in }[esoh't(i they are 

 twice as long and compressed. The eyes have fewer facets 

 than in any other species I have examined : in Mesolita trans- 

 versa they are rather finely, while in M. lineolata they are 

 somewhat coarsely faceted. This is therefore one of those 

 genera in which the facets of the eyes have only a specific 

 value. The species described below varies in the testaceous 

 becoming more or less of a smoky bi-own, like the general 

 colour.
