Hololepta enodipijga, sp. n. 



Oblongo-ovata, depressa, nigra, nitida ; f route bistriata ; pronoto 

 lateribus obsolete punctato, stria marginali antice anguste caiia- 

 liculata ; elytris striis dorsalibus baud appeudiciilatis ; pygidio

L. 7 mill, (absque mandibulis). 



Oblong-oval, very flat, black and shining; the head smooth, 

 with two short bent frontal strias, labriira very small and 

 bilobed, c? mentum smooth and not carinate; the thorax 

 somewhat transverse, scarcely rounded off at the base, but 

 distinctly so at the anterior angles^ lateral stria complete and 

 anteriorly narrowly canaliculate, within it there is an obscure 

 narrow line of punctures, base feebly bisinuous; the elytra, 

 strife, 1 dorsal short, basal, but well marked, 2 very short, 

 there is no apical appendage ; the propygidium has a few 

 lateral punctures, but they do not extend to the apex ; the 

 pygidium is seemingly smooth, but there is a fine and thinly 

 spread punctuation seen under the microscope ; the pro- 

 sternum, keel wide at both ends, but somewhat constricted in 

 the middle ; the anterior tibiie ■i-dentate. 



The species may be placed near //. pi/golissa, Mars., but 

 the thorax is not so much rounded off behind and the thoracic 

 lateral stria resembles that of Liodernia vicinum, Lee.
