The strongly raised interstices, some of them in part having 

 the angular ridge zigzag and glossy black, and this portion of the 

 elytra being of a darker ochreous colour, forming, as in the pre- 

 ceding species, a somewhat ^-shaped figure, readily marks off this 

 species from its congeners. 



Rhinoscapha miliaris. R. nigra, squamulis griseo-opalescentibus, 

 elyti'is viridulo variis, dense tecta ; rostro paulo elongato, metallico- 

 viridi-squamoso, maculis parvis uigris adsperso ; antennis gracillimis, 

 funiculo setulis paucis longis munito ; clava basi subpedunculata ;

 numerosis nitide nigris inaequalibus adsperso; elytris sulcato-punc- 

 tatis, punctis late impressis, interstitiis subuniseriatim granulatis, 

 tertio, quinto septimoque manifeste magis elevatis ; corpore infra 

 pedibusque concinne opalescentibus aureoque lavatis. Long. 11 lin.

My only specimen of this species is at first sight not very 

 unlike B. JDohrnii, Voll. ; but, besides the far less brilliant colora- 

 tion, the raised alternate interstices of the elytra, all of them with 

 a single, but not very regular, row of minute and very distinct 

 granules, and the broadly impressed puncture in the sulci will at 

 once sufiice to separate them, 



Rhinoscapha carinata. R. nigra, supra squamulis vlridulis in- 

 terrupte tecta; rostro squamulis aureo-viridibus griseisque inter- 

 mixtis sejunctim vestito, sulco mediano lineatim inciso ; antennis 

 raodice tenuatis, sordide griseo-squamosis ; clava basi pedunculata ; 

 prothorace pone apicem excavato, dorso foveato, irregulariter rude tu- 

 berculato et utrinque viridi vittato ; elytris sulcato-puuctatis, punctis 

 elongatis, interstitiis nigro culminatis, tertio, quinto septimoque usque 

 ad partem declivam carinatis, juxta suturara lineis transversis elevatis 

 nigris instructis ; corpore infra pedibusque metallico-aureo-viridibus, 

 his squamulis fuscis variis. Long. 9 lin. (rost. inch).

The raised interstices of the elytra in this species are glossy 

 black except at the sides ; and between the first of these raised 

 interstices and the suture are transverse bars, as in E. sellata ; 

 and the hollows are in like manner filled in with scales : in other 

 parts of the elytra the scales are sufficiently contiguous to form
