Haltica (Graptoderv) transversicollis, n. sp. 



Blacic ; antennae and legs fulvous, above metallic green ; thorax 

 transverse, the basal groove obsolete ; elytra very finely and closely 

 punctured. 



Length 1 line. 



Head broader than long, very minutely granulate, impunctate, the 

 frontal tubercles obsolete ; antennae robust, fulvous, half tlie length 

 of the body, the second joint tliickened, the following ones nearly of 

 equal length but thinner ; thorax twice as broad as long, the sides 

 rounded, the angles obtuse, the surface scarcely perceptibly punctured, 

 with a narrow transverse very obsolete groove near the base ; scutellum 

 black ; elytra very finely and closely but more distinctly punctured 

 than the thorax ; legs entirely fulvous. 



Colonia Tovar. 



This very small species may be known principally by the more 

 than usual transversely-shaped thorax, in connexion with the fulvous 

 antennae and legs and the obsolete transverse thoracic groove, which 

 is almost invisible at the sides. On account of these characters, the 

 Venezuelan species has scarcely the general appearance of a true 

 Haltica or Graptodera ; I see, however, no reason to separate it from 

 that genus.
