above convex, finely but not very closely punctured, at tbe outer mar- 

 gin are several rows of rather deeper impressions ; each elytron with 

 a short longitudinal line at the base, placed immediately within the 

 humeral callus, a deeply impressed transverse fossa, situated just below 

 the basilar space, and a short spot behind the middle of tbe disc, 

 shining black. Body beneath somewhat paler, legs (the centre of the 

 thighs excepted) black.

E. oblongus, valde convexus, nitido-rufo-castaneus ; antennis, macula fron- 

 tali, thoracis maculis quatuor, scutello, elytrorum plagis, pleurarum 

 limbo, abdominis segmento anali pedibusque (femoribus medio exceptis) 

 nigris ; thorace elytris angustiori ; elytris confuse tenuiter punetato-

 obsoletis) instructis. — Long. 3-4| lin. 



Oblong, very convex, shining rufo-castaneous ; antennae, a frontal 

 patch, four spots on the thorax, placed in a transversely oblong square, 

 the scutellum, five irregular patches on each elytron, the limb of the 

 pleura?, the anal segment of the abdomen, and the legs (the middle of the 

 thighs excepted) shining black. Head finely punctured, face impressed 

 on either side between the eyes with a broad oblique fovea ; apex of 

 basal joints of antenna? rufous, apex of jaws nigro-piceous. Thorax 

 not quite twice broader than long ; sides nearly straight, obliquely 

 deflexed ; above transversely convex, impressed on either side by a deep 

 fovea, surface punctured ; four patches on the disc, two transverse, 

 attached one on either side to the anterior margin, and the two others 

 smaller and nearly round, placed immediately behind the former, 

 shining black. Scutellum broad, subtrigonate, its apex rounded. 

 Elytra broader at their base than the thorax, subquadrate-oblong, their 

 apex regularly rounded ; above convex, lightly impressed with numerous 

 piceous punctures, confusedly arranged in irregular longitudinal stria? ; 

 on each elytron, distinct and slightly elevated in front, but nearly lost 

 towards the apex, are several impunctate vitta? ; in addition to these, 

 immediately within the lateral border is a strongly elevated costa, 

 which continues entire to the apex of the elytron ; bounding the basilar 

 space posteriorly is an oblique fossa, which extends from the suture to 

 the submarginal costa, near its termination becoming broadly dilated, 

 and its surface coarsely punctured ; on each elytron are placed six 

 irregular shining black spots, which in some specimens become more 

 or less confluent, viz. one at the base, just within the humeral callus, 

 two on the oblique fossa (the one near the suture much larger than the 

 outer one), a fourth, smaller and submarginal, situated below the humeral 

 angle, and lastly, two others, parallel and placed immediately behind 

 tbe middle of the disc, the inner one elongate, the outer smaller and 

 subrotundate. Body beneath, with the limb of the pleura?, the meta-
