induta, thoracis vittula elytrorumque plagis sex nigris. — Var. A. Elytris 

 totis nigris. — Long. 2} lin. 



Elongate, subcylindrieal, pale fulvo-fuseous, whole body clothed with 

 suherect concolorous hairs ; a short vitta on the disc of the thorax, 

 together with three patches on each elytron, black. Head shining, 

 remotely punctured, surface sparingly covered with hairs; clypeus 

 transverse, separated from the face by a deep groove which runs across 

 between the insertion of the antennas ; jaws pitchy- black ; antennas 

 nearly equal to the body in length, slender, third joint two-thirds the 

 length of the fourth. Thorax slightly broader across the middle than 

 long, subcylindrieal, slightly flattened above, lateral border obsolete ; 

 sides rounded, sinuate behind the middle, posterior angles produced 

 into an obtuse tooth; surface covered with large deep punctures. 

 Scutellum trigonate, the sides slightly excavated, its apex truncate. 

 Elytra broader than the thorax ; sides parallel ; apex regularly rounded ; 

 above convex, each elytron impressed with eleven rows of deep punc- 

 tures, the first abbreviated, outer striae indistinctly sulcate ; interspaces 

 smooth and shining; two parallel patches placed immediately below 

 the base, the first within the shoulder, narrowly oblong, the second on 

 the outer margin, still narrower and elongate, and a large subovate

Genus Adoxtjs, Kirby. 



The Rev. "W. Kirby, in his work on the North American Coleoptera, 

 has formed a genus for the reception of the non-metallic, hairy species 

 of Eumoljjus, taking for his type American representatives of our 

 European Eumolpus vitis ; I have therefore retained his name, in pre- 

 ference to the commonly used but more recent one of Bromius*. 



Adoxus Bowringii. 



A. ovatus, valde convexus, nuceus, pilis adpressis obscure fulvis indutus, 

 thoracis plaga obtrigonata, elytrorum maculis 7, metacoxis pleurarumque

 obsoletis. — Long. 2^-3 lin. 



Ovate, very convex, nuceous, body covered with obscure fulvous ad- 

 pressed hairs ; an obtrigonate patch in the centre of the thorax, seven 

 spots on the elytra, a patch at the apex of each pleura, and the meta- 

 coxae shining black. Head distinctly punctured ; clypeus triangular, 

 separated from the face by an acutely angled grooved line ; on either
