 body 2 lines. A single specimen taken in lat. 65". 



[232.] Hody black. Mo\ith and its organs and antennae reddish ; 

 prothorax flesh-coloured with two large siibquadrangular black spots, 

 separated by a narrow flesh-coloured stripe, which occupy almost all the 

 disk : elytra flesh-coloured, taken together with eleven roundish rather 

 large black spots, three of which are common to both elytra, viz. 3, 4, 3, 

 I, the common spot at the apex is transverse ; legs black with the base of 

 the thighs and tibiae, tarsi, sides of the abdomen, and anus testaceous.

 in colour and the number and disposition of the spots.

Mr. Say says of his P, rotunda that it was the first of that genus found 

 on the New Continent ; that above described furnishes therefore a valu- 

 able addition to the American insect Fauna. Africa appears to be the 

 metropolis of the genus, though several species have been found in 

 Russian Tartary. 



[A species of Kieodes, synonymous with Say's Eleodes (Blaps) 

 tricosiata.
