Head black, stron:;ly, at the base almost coarsely, punctate; 

 ilic cpistoma veiy distinctly separated from the labrum, pro- 

 duced and deHexed, the latter bright pale yellow; the mouth 

 and trophi yellow, cxce])t the mandibles, which are only 

 pitchy externally. Thorax black at the base, twice as wide 

 as long, narrowed in front, with the front angles a little 

 depressed, finely margined except in the middle of the front 

 and base, thickly punctured, but less so than the head, and 

 not so strongly, there being room for other j)unctures. The 

 base of the elytra is of the width and forms an even outline 

 with the thorax. The elytra are entirely black, very finely 

 seriate punctate, the small punctures in the series being close 

 but not in)pressed in strite, the interstices being also thickly 

 minutely punctate ; they are continued evenly to the end, 

 but coalesce before reaching the apex. The body beneath is 

 sparsely and finely punctured; the mesosternum is black (or 

 pitchy in less matured specimens) ; the metasternum with its 

 side j)ieces, the meso-episternu, and abdomen and legs are all 

 entirely clear lutcous yellow. 



I have jjleasure in tledicating this insect to Dr. Kraatz, the 

 veteran writer on European Coleoptera, who sent it me with 

 other Krotylidaj. 



N.B. — This insect very closely resembles a new Zi/thonia, 

 which 1 i)ropose to describe as Z. anthracina, and which 

 appears to iidiabit the same district, as well as the Cono-o, 

 trom whence my examples came.
