 fulvo-castaneis, thorace argenteo-viridi trilineato, linea mediana 

 per scutellum ducta; antennis ( $ )corporelongioribus, basiundique 

 pilosis, articulis 4-11 subsequalibus sat elongatis : capite thora- 

 ceque discrete punctatis, hoc relative parvo, cjlindrico ; elytris 

 apice breyiter obtuse truncatis, dorse subplanis sat confertim 

 grosse, lateribus lineatim, punctatis ; unguibus sicut in /S^. argy- 

 rosticta late dentatis. Long. 9 miUim. 



Higo. 



Tbe species does not fit well the genus Stenostola, but it 

 approaches it nearer than it does any other described genus. 

 In form, faeies, and punctuation of the sides of the elytra it 

 resembles many Glenece, but differs in its toothed claws and the 

 want of elytral carinse. 



Epiglenea, noT. gen. 



Faeies gen. Glenece ; sed differt unguibus basi late dentatis 

 elytrorumque lateribus hand carinatis confuse punctatis. Corpus 

 cylindricum erecte pilosum, tomentoso - maculatum. Caput 

 thorace latius, fronte infra oculos paullo angustata ; oculi con- 

 vexi. Antennae corpore longiores, ciliatae, art. tertio quam scapus 

 paullo longiori, 4-11 elongatis, gradatim decrescentibus. Thorax 

 cylindricus, basi angustatus. Elytra postice parum angustata, 

 supra subplanata, lateribus nullomodo carinatis, omnino sat 

 crebre confuse punctata, apice breviter truncata et utrinque 

 bidentata. Presternum inter coxas angustissimum; coxse conicse 

 exsertse ; mesosternum modice latum. Ventris segmenta 1-4 

 sequalia, quinto elongate medio sulcato. Tibiae intermediae extus 

 subintegrse ; tarsi breves, unguiculis divaricatis, <S $ basi latissime 

 dentatis. 



The combination of characters above described forbids the 

 location of the species about to be described in any of the known 

 genera of SaperdincB. In general form and markings it nearest 

 resembles Glenea, but the claws are toothed as in Oherea and 

 some aberrant Pliytcecics, and in the two species I have pro- 

 visionally associated with Stenostola. 



Epigleitea comes, n. sp. 



Nigra, fusco erecte pilosa, fronte margineque oculorum, 

 thoracis vittis tribus, scutello elytrorumque utrinque vitta
