about as long as wide , sides moderately rounded , base slighily 

 wider than apex ; irregularly granulate or granulate - punctata ; 

 with a short, feeble median carina or node. Elytra much wider 

 than prothorax , Shoulders Square , parallelsided to beyond the 

 middle ; with large and usually not at all concealed punctures,

One of the four specimens before me (excluding its clothing) 

 is entirely black, except that its tarsi and antennae are obscurely 

 diluted with red , another has the elytra of a rather bright red, 

 with the prothorax and femora almost black ; but the two others 

 are of an almost uniform reddish brown , except that the tibiae 

 and tarsi are paler. 



The elytra have a conspicuous V as in stigma , but without 

 the large humeral patch of that species, and with other markings. 

 The V extends from the suture to the fifth interstice , the iso- 

 lated Spots on each elytron are three near the base (one on the 

 third , one on the fifth and one on the seventh) and one on the 

 preapical callus.

Black. Tips of ocular lobes reddish. Clothed irregularly 

 with round somewhat muddy scales. Legs , antennae and parts 

 of rostrum with rather dense setae. 



Read with minute punctures, interspersed with a few rather 

 larger ones. Rostrum dilated towards apex, with a deep median 

 line opening into interocular fovea ; sublateral sulci deep and 

 closed at both ends. Antennae not very stout ; scape extending 

 almost to back of eye ; two basal joints of funicle subequal. 

 Prothorax strongly convex , longer (including the ocular lobes) 

 than Wide, coarsely vermiculate-foveate ; with a wide but irregulär 

 median line. Elytra strongly convex , scarcely wider than pro- 

 thorax , with double rows of very large punctures or foveae ; 

 suture, third, fifth and seventh interstices raised and undulating. 

 Legs rather long ; tibiae feebly denticulate. Length (excluding 

 rostrum) 10 — 11 mm.

A narrow strongly convex insect, readily distinguished from 

 hinodosus by the absence of elytral .tubercles. It, however, bears 

 a considerable resemblance to that species, whilst the only other 

 described one (inconspicuus) is said not "to bear the slightly 

 resemblance other than structural" to hinodosus. The three spe-
