This genus is ditferentiated from Erytenna by its subulate 

 rosti-um and the basal position of the scrobes, accompanied by 

 a corresponding shortness of the scape. Cydmcea has the 

 prothorax more rounded at the base, or, in other words, not 

 lobed opposite the scutellum, and the rostrum striated at the 

 base and cylindrical throughout. 



Glaucopela unicolor. 



G. fusca, squamis viridi-griseis dense induta ; rostro prothorace 

 paulo breviore, nitide fusco ; antennis nigris ; prothorace apice 

 tubulate, quam basi fere triple angustiore ; elytris sulcatis, inter- 

 stitiis modice convexis, iii medio squamis linearibus elongatis 

 uniseriatim dispositis, huraeris callosis, apicibus rotundatis ; 

 ^ corpore infra pedibusque squamis viridi-opalescentibus dense 

 ' tectis ; tarsis articulo ultimo testacco. Long. 2 lin.

The inteiTncdiate coxae arc wider apart than in Olancea, in 

 which they may be said to be approximate, but loss so than in 

 Diconwxla and Cydmceu; from these two, with wliidi thi.s
