Thia species has the prothorax like the preceding ; but, inter 

 alia, it has much shorter elytra, the first joint of the intermediate 

 and posterior tarsi swollen or enlarged, and the upper surface co-

A narrow form resembling ^^y^AZw«,but with the elytra at the base 

 not broader than the prothorax, to which they are closely applied,

 however, between the two joints is so indistinct that I am not 

 sure that it really exists. .
