gradually smaller towards the apex ; somewhat densely setose, the 

 setse being longer on the basal part, shorter near the apex, black on 

 the violaceous area, and tawny like those of the head and thorax, 

 on the basal testaceous band. Antennae longer than the body ; first 

 joint rather short, obconical, asperate in front near the apex ; joints 

 3rd to 8th or 9th slightly angulate at the apex on the anterior side, 

 the same joints with a fringe of short seta? on the posterior side. 

 Long. 12 mm.; lat. 4 mm.

This species greatly resembles G. hasalis, Gab., in size, 

 form and coloration, and comes from the same locality. It 

 differs in having the testaceous band at the base of the 

 elytra nearly twice as broad, the head of the male without 

 a frontal carina, the antenna! joints slightly angulate at 

 the apex and more densely setose, the legs and body 

 underneath much more thickly covered with tawny hairs, 

 and these hairs very much longer, especially on the sides 

 of the abdomen.

This species is unknown to me ; but since it is described 

 as having the suture and two costas on the posterior part 

 of the elytra, strongly raised, I have considerable doubt 

 as to its being a true Ghreonoma. It seems to be very 

 like Astathes hipartita, Thorns., in coloration, and possibly 

 belongs to that genus.
