160 ME. W. F. KIEBT ON THE 



obtusely pointed below, not unlike that of a puffin in shape ; 

 antennae placed between the base of the beak and the eyes ; 

 pronotum nearly smooth, slightly depressed laterally in front, 

 angles not very prominent ; scutellum rather large. Tegmina 

 with the costa carinated, convex beyond the middle, a deep groove 

 marked by a black nervure running from near the costa towards 

 the hinder angle ; apical third of tegmina reticulated; legs rather 

 long and stout ; front femora slightly longer than the others. 

 Allied to Cosmocarta.

Long. corp. cum tegm. 10 millim. 



Tawny ; eyes, antennae, the nervure mentioned in the descrip- 

 tion of the genus, and the hinder costal and apical margin of the 

 tegmina, as well as the spaces between the nervures on the 

 terminal third, the knees, tarsi, and some spots on the sides of 

 the ventral segments of the abdomen, black.

Long. Corp. 8-9 millim. 



Brownish testaceous, front transversely striated, separated by 

 a broad undivided medial space ; two black spots, slightly show- 

 ing above, just below the middle of the convex and somewhat 

 flattened rim of the head ; antennae, tips of hind tibiae, and 

 tarsal claws black. Tegmina pointed, with a pale oblique fascia 

 on the costa before the tip, a black spot at the tip, and another, 

 in a pale ring, on the inner margin, at the extremity of the 

 principal nervure ; in one specimen, a great part of the outer two 

 thirds of the tegmina is blackish on the costa, as far as the 

 oblique baud ; it is intersected at about two thirds of the length 

 of the costa by a square pale patch on- the costa, nearly connected 

 with the point of a pale subtriangular mark in the middle of the 

 tegmina ; the hinder portion of this dark space is concave towards 

 the middle of the tegmina, and runs narrowly towards the inner 

 margin on the basal side of the pale space. The whole insect is 

 so thickly covered with short pale bristles as to entirely conceal 

 the sculpture. 



Extremely similar to ApTiropTiora alni in external appearance.
