Thi ould be reckoned, I think, by Mr. S VEERA a 
true Sat oitighcien. It differs from ail the species resembling 
it in respect of colour (except rufipennis, Fab., and brevirostris, 
aterh.) by its having scarcely any rostrum. From rufipennis 
—=salebrosus, Waterh.) it differs inter alia by its still shorter and 
wider rostrum, by the much shorter and wider joints of its 
antennæ, by the obtuse hind angles of its prothorax, and by the 
much more distinct lines separating the interstitial areolets of 
its elytra which in the front might be called intermediate cost. 
erythropterus, Er., by **the rostrum shorter, scarcely longer than 
broad." In the present species the rostrum is very much broader 
than long.
