 Var. capite prothoraceque ferrugineis. 



This species is very like the European A. badia, Er., from 

 which it differs in its antennae less approximate at their base, the 

 prothorax not so much narrower than the base of the elytra, and 

 the puncturation of the elytra considerably closer and finer.

CORTICARIA. 



C. australis, sp. nov. Oblonga ; convexa ; sat nitida ; sat dense 

 (in elytris] lineatim) pubescens ; fusco-brunnea ; antennis 

 (clava excepta) pedibusque dilutioribus ; capite prothorace 

 parum angustiori ; oculis niagnis prominulis; prothorace 

 leviter transverso, crebre sat fortiter (iieque ut caput) punc- 

 tulato, ante basin sat profunde arcuatim impresso, impres- 

 sione in medio leviter foveata, angulis posticis rotundato- 

 obtusis ; elytris quam prothorax vix fere duplo latioribus, 

 vix striatis, puncturarum sat magnarum seriebus crebris 

 instructis, his apicem versus vix obsoletioribus. Long., ^1. ; 



Very like the European C. gihbosa, Herbst., differing chiefly 

 by the presence of a well-defined round fovea in the middle of the 

 transverse sulcus on the prothorax, and by the closer rows of 

 punctures on the elytra, which are not placed in distinct stride, 

 and between which the interstices are perfectly flat throughout.

 Long., -il. ; lat., -^1. 

 Resembles the European C. elo7igata, Gyll., differing chiefly in 

 the piceous club of its antenna-, its more strongly punctulate pro- 

 thorax, the perfectly flat interstices of its elytra, and its some- 

 what less parallel form.
