Euryope joidipennisj sp. n. 
Fulvoas or black, the head with one, the thorax with four 
(sometimes connected) black spots ; elytra closely punctured, ful- 
vous, with a broad transverse black band extending to the middle, 
and another subtriangular patch at the posterior half. Length, 
2 lines. 
Whether this species, which is only half the size of 
the following ones,, represents the male of either of 
them, or is specifically distinct, is somewhat doubtful. 
In the absence of more specimens, I must at present 
consider the species distinct ; the shape and punctuation 
is similar to the others, but the head has only a small 
black spot on the vertex, the thorax has four small spots 
placed exactly as in E. semipartita (these are, in one speci- 
men, joined, and form a ri'shaped mark) and the elytra 
have a small black spot immediately below the shoulder 
on the lateral margin, which latter is narrowly fulvous, 
and is joined to a similar coloured transverse band at 
the middle which divides the black patches of the elytra. 
In one specimen the anterior black band encloses a 
fulvous spot which surrounds the scutellum ; the anterior 
margin of the posterior black patch is deeply indented 
at the middle in both the specimens before me, and the 
patch itself does not extend to the apex of the elytra, 
which remains fulvous; of the antennae only the first 
joints are present, the basal one is black, the second one 
fulvous, and the remaining black again. One specimen 
has the underside and legs entirely black ; in the other, 
the sides of the breast and of the abdomen are of that 
colour only, the rest, as well as the middle of the femora, 
being fulvous.

It is evident that this small species is very variable 
in regard to colour, but it differs in the pattern of the 
elytra from any described species, as well as in size. In 
the latter respect it agrees with E. minutaj Jac.
