306. Sebasthe ioscopa, sp. nov. 



In form and superficial coloration strongly resembles S. iobaphes, 

 but differs in being smaller and in having the whole of the 

 antennas and all the legs (except the apices of the posterior 

 femora, which are blackish) brown, and the breast and abdominal 

 sternites blackish much mixed with brown. The anteunse in this 

 species are more slender, and appear somewhat longer, than in 

 jS. iobaphes, though the relative lengths of the segments remain 

 the same. Head punctate, central depression more elongate, 

 interantennal carina sharper. The punctuation of the pronotum 

 and elytra, and the other characters, are as in S, iobaphes.

 the pronotum. 



Bead with vertex impunctate; frontal tubercles with an im- 

 pressed longitudinal line between them and separated from the 

 vertex by a transverse impressed line in the interocular space ;

 the middle of the elytra; first segment long and club-shaped, 

 second small, third longer than second, fourth longer than third, 

 from the fourth to the seventh the segments are somewhat 

 thickened, fourth and fifth equal to each other in length, sixth and 

 seventh also equal to each other; from the eighth to the eleventh 

 the segments are somewhat thinner, and are about equal to each 

 other in length. Protliorax broader than long, sides rounded 

 with margins somewhat explanate and reflexed, anterior lateral 

 angles thickened and each of the four angles bearing a fine seta ; 

 surface smooth, shining, extremely finely and sparsely punctate*.
