instructis ; abdominis segmento ultimo apice late concavo- 

 emarginato. 



Var. A. foem. — Minor, elytrorum vitta elevata obsoleta. 



Head finely granulose, impressed, but not very closely, 

 with shallow round punctures ; clypeus distinctly longer 

 than broad, subcuneiform, its apical margin broadly 

 obsolete; antennas slender, the third joint distinctly longer 

 than the fourth, the fourth, fifth and sixth equal. Thorax 

 nearly twice as broad as long; sides rounded, converging 

 at base and apex; above transversely convex, minutely 

 granulose, subnitidous, impressed with fine but distinct 

 round punctures. Scutellum smooth and shining, semi- 

 ovate. Elytra rather broader than the thorax, subelongate ; 

 sides parallel, the apices subacutely rounded ; upper sur- 

 face coarsely and rather closely punctured, interspaces 

 nitidous, finely granulose, sparingly impresso-strigose. 

 Legs slender, thickened apices of tibiae unarmed. 



This insect is closely allied to JE. Batesii; the $ may 

 be known by the absence of the spine at the outer apex of 

 the tibia, together with the different form of the teliim; 

 the 2 is separated from the two preceding species by its 

 narrower and more parallel form, and by the emargination 

 of the apical segment of the abdomen.
