marked along its whole length with a distinct but not very deep median groove. It is 

 further distinguished from the two species mentioned by the smaller size of the eyes, 

 by the nearly uniform ochreous-brown tint of the pubescence that covers the ventral 

 side of the body, and by the greater rugosity of the base of the elytra. The pubescence 

 in this species seems liable to be rubbed off easily, for out of several specimens that I 

 have seen only one or two have retained the greater part of the pubescence, most of 

 the others presenting a shiny black colour and being bare of pubescence except over a 

 few patches generally placed at the sides of the thorax, apex of the abdomen, and at 

 the subsutural spot near the middle of each elytron. 



PHRrNETOPSis KOLBEi, sp. n. (Plate VI. fig. 14.) 



Dark brown, somewhat densely covered with pubescence which is for the most part 

 of a greyish colour, mixed on the upperside with patches of fulvous-brown and dark 

 brown ; head spotted in front with fulvous and dark brown ; dark velvety-brown above, 

 marked with oblique fulvous lines, two of which converge in front to meet between 

 the eyes ; scutellum marked with two fulvous lines ; elytra marked each with three 

 short oblique fulvous-white lines or bands just behind the middle, the outermost 

 of these three bands is broader than the others and from its inner end the middle band 

 runs backwards and curves inwards. Prothorax with three small and somewhat acute 

 tubercles on the disc. Elytra more than twice as long as their conjoined width across 

 the base, strongly rugose-punctate for about half their length from the base along 

 the sides and a less length along the disc, each with a short basal crest made up of a 

 series of granules or small tubercles. Body beneath more uniformly grey than the 

 upperside ; the episterna of the mesothorax marked each with a white spot bordered 

 on the inner side with dark brown. 



This species closely resembles P. fmcicornis Chevr. [=^forUfiGata White) in 

 coloration, but is less spotted with dark brown above, and but little spotted on 

 the ventral side and legs. It also differs in having the two outer white bands 

 on each elytron united with one another. The chief difference, however, is in the 

 form of the elytra, these being relatively longer and narrower than in P./uscicornis. 



Length 26 ; breadth 9 mm.
