The species, whicli is nearly allied to A. acervata, Klug, may 

 be distinguished from it by tlie larger size and tlie thicker and 

 more equal distribution of the tubercles on the elytra. A. austera, 

 Baudi, with the type of which Dr. Grestro has very kindly compared 

 examples, is also a closely allied species, but has smaller and less 

 thickly placed tubercles on the elytra, and the angle between the 

 disk and deflexed side of each elytron is less pronounced. 



36. Adesmia assimilis, sp. n. 



Oblongo-ovata ; prothorace transverse, sparsim sat minute 

 punctate, nitido, dorso medio lineato-sulcato ; elytris usque ad 

 medium paullo ampliatis (?) vel vix ampliatis (d), dorso sat 

 dense tuberculato, a latere deflexo costa crenulata separate ; 

 lateribus utrisque in dimidio postico costa crenulata instructis. 

 Long. 17-24 mm. 



This species has much resemblance to the preceding one, but 

 the tubercles of the elytra are not so thickly nor so regularly 

 placed, and are rather smaller in size ; the disk of the elytra is 

 limited on each side by a crenulate costa, nearly parallel to 

 which, on the posterior half or two-thirds of the deflexed side, is 

 a somewhat feebler crenulate costa. The slightly concave area 

 on each side between these two costse is tubercled less strongly 

 than the disk, the area below it is feebly rugose and vaguely 

 punctured. The pronotum is sparsely and minutely punctured, 

 and is impressed along the middle by a rather faint groove which 

 does not reach quite to the anterior margin.
