ME. J. S. BALT ON SOME SPECIES OF GALERIJCIN^. 



long ; sides nearly parallel, obliquely converging towards the 

 apex ; disk smooth, minutely punctured, transverse groove rather 

 more deeply impressed on either side. Elytra broadly dilated 

 posteriorly, convex, transversely excavated below the basilar 

 space ; minutely punctured, lateral limb reflexed, more strongly 

 punctured than the disk. 



Broader in botli sexes ttan A. atripennis, Fabr,, the lateral 

 margin of the elytra broader and more strongly punctured.

Oblongo-ovata, postice ampliata, convexa, rufo-fulva aut rufa, nitida, 

 anteimis flavis, articulo basali interdum rufo-piceo tincto ; thorace 

 transversim sulcato; elytris nigris, tenuissime punctatis, labro (in 

 mare) nigro-piceo. Long. 3-4 lin.

Antennae slender, filiform. Thorax transverse ; sides obliquely 

 diverging from the base to beyond the middle, thence converging 

 towards the apex ; disk smooth, impressed on either side with a 

 few minute punctures ; discoidal sulcation nearly straight. Elytra 

 dilated posteriorly, convex, transversely excavated below the 

 basilar space, very finely punctured. 



This species is smaller in size than either of the following two; 

 the deeply concave intermediate lobe of the anal segment of the ab- 

 domen in the male, together with the obtusely emarginate apex of 

 the same segment in the female, will separate it from either. Many 

 of the specimens that I have seen differ from the diagnosis given 

 by Eabricius in not having the basal joint of the antenuje darker 

 than the following ones ; in other respects they agree with the 

 description given. I possess three specimens of the male ; in 

 this sex the labrum is piceous, in the other one it is concolorous 

 with tho upper face ; in some individuals the legs are stained 

 with p.ceous.
