are of a blackish green, pubescent and adorned with 2 yellow spots 

 between the middle and apex ; this is of irregular, rounded outline 

 and stretches from the middle of the 3rd interstice across to the 

 8 stria. The 4th joint of the maxill. palpi is subcylindric, that of 

 the labial ones larger, plump and rather triangular. Tooth of the 

 mentum not bifid but truncated and merely slightly sinuated at 

 the apex. The elytra are narrowed at the apex.

 The elongated and parallel shape of the body distinguish this 

 species at first sight ; it is very pretty and scarce, but has otherwise 

 nothing remarkable in its construction. However, I may add to 

 the above description that the mentum is large, the lobes obtuse 

 at the apex and the tooth but slightly sinuated at the tip. The 

 ligula is of the usual construction, the paraglossse obtuse and 

 ciliated at the apex. The 2 last joints of the labial palpi are 

 rather elongated, whilst in the maxillary ones they are the reverse ; 

 the former have the terminal joint triangular, the latter cylindric, 

 both are strongly truncated at the tip. The head is middling, with 

 2 impressions in front of the eyes ; the mandibles are rather more 

 curved than usual ; the labrum is emarginated in front ; the an- 

 tennae are rather short and stout reaching only to the base of the 

 thorax. The latter is a little broader than the head and of an 

 ovato-quadratic form. The elytra and legs are simple. 



I have named this species after the president of the Eutomol. 

 Soc. of Stettin to whom I am indebted for much Entoin. informa- 

 tion.
