166 Mr. M. Jacoby^B contributions to the knowledge of 
thorax has not only the sides but also the anterior 
margin (the extreme edge excepted) flavous, otherwise 
there is no diflFerence. The species was named by 
M. Lefevre, whose untimely death prevented its publica- 
tion by that author. 
Tituhcea rugosa, sp. n. 
Black ; thorax fulvous, the base piceous or black, rugosely 
punctured ; elytra flavous, closely and strongly rugose-punctate, 
with ten small blackish spots (4, 4, 2). 
Mas. The anterior legs very elongate. Length, 3 lines. 
Fem. Legs normal, more or less fulvous. Length, 4 lines. 
Mas. Head flat, closely covered with long pubescence, the space 
at the middle slightly raised and smooth, the anterior margin of 
the clypeus nearly straight, mandibles slender, bent at right angles ; 
antennae scarcely extending to the base of the thorax, the lower 
three joints obscurely fulvous, the fourth and following joints very 
strongly transversely serrate, black ; thorax two and a half times 
broader than long, the sides slightly rounded, the anterior angles 
distinct, posterior ones rather obtuse, the posterior margin with a 
short truncate median lobe, the surface irregularly and strongly 
rugose and punctured with smaller punctures intermixed, fulvous, 
the anterior portion paler, the base with a narrow transverse black 
band which anteriorly is split up in four or five places in the shape of 
elongate spots ; scutellum black ; elytra flavous, strongly and rather 
closely punctured in semi - regular rows, the interstices slightly 
rugose and longitudinally costate near the apex and suture, each 
elytron with a spot on the shoulder, another below the scutellum 
close to the suture, and two spots below the middle, slightly oblique, 
the outer at the lateral, the inner one at the sutural margin, and 
another spot at the apical angle, black ; underside and legs black, 
finely pubescent, the anterior legs very elongate, the tibiae partly 
fulvous below, the first joint of the anterior tarsi of half the 
length of the tibiae, the following joints also elongate, the meta- 
tarsus of the posterior legs as long as the following two joints 
together.

Of this species, well distinguished by the rugose upper 
surface of the thorax and the coloration, I possess two 
specimens of either sex ; in the female the thorax has no 
black band, but the basal portion is dark fulvous with 
just a trace of the darker markings of the male, the elytra
