The species is characterized further by some raised lines 

 on each elytron, of wliich one near the suture is more distinct 

 than the rest, the intervals between which are somewhat 

 irregularly punctured. In addition to the numerous small 

 brown dots each elytron has four small brownish patches — 

 one oblique basal, one oblique median, tlie third also oblique 

 at some distance from the apex, the last at the apex. 



Diadelia x-fasciata, sp. n. 



Angusta, elongata, fulvo-griseo leviter pubescens ; maculis minimis 

 brunneis variegata ; prothorace supra leviter trituberculato ; 

 elytris singulis faseiis duabus brunneis valde obliquis ad suturam 

 connexis, apicibus subobliquiter truncatis ; antenuis corpora 

 longioribus, articulis basi pallidis, apicibus bruuneo-ferrugineis.

I am not certain that I do right to refer tliis species to 

 Diadelia. It has slightly larger eyes and a narrower front 

 to the head than has D. hiplagiata, and the mesosternal 

 process is almost flat and is destitute of a tubercle. The 

 elytra bear indications of raised lines, in the intervals between 

 which they are irregularly and not very thickly punctured. 

 There is a slight hump or swelling on the disk of each 

 elytron at a short distance behind the base. The apices of 

 the elytra are less obliquely truncate than in hiplagiata. The 

 species may further be recognized by the fulvous-grey pubes- 

 cence, minutely speckled with brown, and by the two oblique 

 narrow brownish bands on each elytron — one beginning close 

 to the margin just in front of the middle and directed back- 

 wards to the suture, the other at some distance behind the 

 middle and directed forwards towards the suture, where a 

 short longitudinal band joins the two.

Head with the eyes small, the front large and slightly 

 convex. Prothorax broad and convex in front, abruptly and 

 strongly constricted at the base, obtusely and feebly dilated 

 above the middle of each side ; the disk marked with nume- 

 rous longitudinal and slightly curved stride. The elytra, 

 strongly and transversely depressed behind the highly elevated 

 and acute basal tubercles, are crossed at the middle by a
