510 ME. GUT A. K. MAESHALL ON COLEOPTEEA 



punctato-striate, striae 5 and 6 diverging near the middle and enclosing two short 

 accessory strife (perhaps an individual peculiarity), the punctures large and distant, 

 the intervals only slightly convex, smooth and even (except that 3 and 9 are subcostate 

 at the apex), and set Avith numerous broad curved flattened scale-like setaj. Legs 

 smooth and closely covered with dense scaling. 



Length 13J, width 6| mm. 



UtakwaEiver; 1 ?. [TyiJe of the species.) 



Described from a single specimen. 



Superficially this species rather suggests Rhinoscapha alhipennis Pasc, var. cinna- 

 moinea Fst., with which, however, it is in no way related. In the structure of 

 its rostrum and antenna it is most nearly allied to E. verrucosa Pasc, but in the 

 latter species the elytra have a distinct rounded humeral prominence, the striae are 

 much more finely punctate, the intervals are granulate, the prothorax has a median 

 carina, etc.

Colour shining black and piceous, with rather sparse, almost circular, grey and white 

 scales; the elytra with an oblique postmedian denuded band, extending from the 

 margin (where it is broadened) to the first stria, and a small denuded preapical patch ; 

 the sides of the sternum with dense white or greyish scaling. 



Head finely rugose, the forehead with a short central stria. Rostrum with the 

 central area almost plane, not carinate, the space between the scrobes broader than 

 the club of the scape. Antennce with the second joint of the funicle much longer 

 than the first. Prothorax as long as broad, the sides strongly rounded, broadest in 

 the middle, the apex distinctly narrower than the base, the upper surface rugose and 

 fairly closely set with low shining granules, each bearing a curved white seta, the sides 

 more or less reticulately punctate and the granules small or absent. Elytra ovate,
