outer margins distinctly serrulate, outer margins with a yellowish 

 white pubescent band; elytra elongato-quadrate, faintly striate, outer 

 margins with a narrow white pubescent band ; legs sometimes 

 entirely black, but oftener with red tibiae. 



Closely allied in shape and colouring to 6r. velutinus, Bohem., but 

 the prothorax is narrower and more cordiform, and the elytra not so 

 broad.

Covered with a greyish pubescence, with a faint tinge of brown ; 

 the outer sides of the prothorax and the outer margins of the elytra 

 with a broad white pubescent band ; head narrowly denuded in the 

 centre ; the three basal joints of antennae reddish ; prothorax short, 

 moderately narrow, subcordiform, the outer sides distinctly serrulate ; 

 elytra elongato-quadrate, longer than broad by one-fourth, distinctly

Graphipterus vestitus, Bej., 

 Spec. Col., vol. v., p. 464. 

 G. obtusus, Bohem., Insect. Caffr., i., p. 87. 



Covered with a light brownish grey pubescence ; head not 

 denuded, or hardly so in the centre ; the two basal joints of antennae 

 reddish ; prothorax nearly twice as broad as long, wdth the base 

 broad, edges of outer margins not serrulate, the brownish grey 

 pubescence whitening slightly on the outer sides ; elytra quadrate, 

 one-fifth longer than broad, the suture and the outer margins with a 

 whiter pubescence than that of the background ; legs black ; tibiae 

 faintly rufescent. Length 13 mm. ; width 6|- mm. 



Allied to G. velutinus, but the prothorax, although broad, is not so 

 much ampliate in the anterior angles, and looks thus more quad- 

 rate ; the elytra are equally broad, but shorter, and therefore more 

 quadrate.

Graphipterus canescens, Chaud., 

 Bull. Mosc, 1870, p. 338.
