certain of the species before me, which certainly belong to 

 Homotrysis under the former of the above tabulations, I have 

 thought it best to disregard for the present these two unsatis- 

 factory generic names, and to call Homotrysis all the species that 

 would be referred to it by the former of the above two 

 tabulations. 



The following is a tabulation of the species described below, 

 together with two or three other species introduced for the sake 

 of comparison : — 



A. Interval between eyes less (at least in the male) than the 

 width of either eye as seen from above. 

 B. Upper surface densely clothed with erect pilosity. 



C. Punctures of elytral stri?e scarcely distinct, those of the 

 interstices very conspicuous. 

 D. Legs and antennae entirely testaceous or rufo-testa- 

 ceous. 

 E. Elytra with well-defined dark 



piceous markings ... 

 EE. Elytra uniformly rufous . . . 

 DD. Legs and antennae obscure . , . 

 CC. Punctures of elytral strife very 

 conspicuous, interstices nearly 

 la^vigate, though granulated 

 behind 

 Upper surface not clothed with 

 dense erect pilosity, uniformly 

 coloured 

 Elytra somewhat evenly scuI^d- 



tured. 

 D. Elytra black or bluish. 



E. Size large (long, about 6 1. or 

 more). 

 F. Front part of elytral striae 

 punctured conspicu- 

 ously, and with much 

 larger punctures than 

 the interstices 

 FF. Elytral striae in front 

 (especially near su- 

 ture) punctured 

 scarcely differently 

 from the interstices 

 EE. Size small (long, about 4 1. 

 or less) 

 F. Antennae, tibios, and tarsi 

 testaceous red
