punctured on the disk before the middle, behind the middle 

 and at the sides with irregular semicircular punctures, which 

 become confluent towards the apex ; a rather strong, smooth, 

 discal costa from the middle to the apical callosity ; slightly 

 impressed at the apex of the scutellum and within the humeral 

 prominence. Pygidium short and broad, slightly convex, 

 with coarse confluent punctures and sparse pubescence; a 

 large fovea on each side near the apex. Beneath very 

 coarsely punctured at the sides ; mesosternal process dilated 

 and rounded in front. Legs punctured and sparsely pubes- 

 cent.

Compared with G. Lewisi this species has the thorax nar- 

 rower at the base and less deeply emarginate before the scu- 

 tellum, the scutellum much more narrowed at the apex, the 

 pygidium less convex, and the mesosternal process much 

 smaller ; it appears to be allied to the European G. angustata, 

 Germ. All the specimens taken by Mr. Pryer are males, and 

 there are also examples from the same locality in the collec- 

 tions of Mr. G. Lewis and the British Museum.

 edusina] the latter is, however, perhaps nothing more than 

 the prevalent western type of the same species.
