The scales or, rather, hairs are, on the upper surface, iu this 

 species confined to the parts between the granules, but are more 

 condensed at the sides ; and behind the middle of the elytra they 

 form a short band or baud-like patch. 



IXODICUS. 



(Byrsopinse.) 

 A £i/rsope differt tihiis apice exteriore hand productis ; tarsls 



brevibus ; et elytris rotundatis, postice haud truncatis. Corpus 



breve, validum, Isevigatum. 



The outline, absence of tubercles, or nearly so, and the minute 

 concolorous scales, which leave the derm smooth and apparently 

 naked, strikingly mark off this genus as a group quite distinct 

 from JByrsops, although the technical characters are not perhaps 

 80 important. The species appear to be closely allied, requiring 

 a large series of specimens to bo properly worked out ; but two of 

 them, which may be taken as the extremes, are here described.
