narrowed anteriorly, with narrow and short side-lobes closely embracii 
the base of the ligula or labium. A better character still is the foii 
of the thorax, which has a decided basal lobe, the base on each sii 
being obliquely sinuate-truncate. The form of thorax, however, diffe 
much from that of the true LehicB, in which the sides are widely dilat 
and flattened out. Several Coptoderce show a trace of the basal lol 
and it is doubtful if the present genus can be maintained. The spec? 
have precisely the same habits as the Coptoderce. 
Baron Chaudoir himself pointed out the species iu my collectil 
belonging to his genus Stenoglossa, none of which agree with the o 
he described, viz., C. variegata.

Long. 85 millim. Lat. elytr. 1\ millim. 
Wholly of a testaceons-yellow hue, with the exception of a few slender dus 
marks and spots on the elytra ; these consist of a dark border along the ba 
including the shoulders and irregularly limited posteriorly, a few blackish sp 
covering the large marginal punctures, and a very flexuous narrow macular bel 
little behind the middle ; the striae are all dusky, the colour deepening near 1 
apex ; they are deeply impressed and punctate, with the interstices convex. Thoi 
transverse quadrate, sides moderately rounded anteriorly, posterior angles proi 
nent, base obliquely sinuate-truncate on each side, leaving a broad median lobe. 
Ega, many examples.

nigris, striis fuscis. Long. 3| millim. Lat. elytr. 1\ millim. 
Very closely allied to C. 'pallida, differs in no respects except in the posit 
of the black marks of the elytra ; the base is not black, whilst, on the other ha: 
there are two black patches at the apex which nearly touch the lowest angle of \ 
flexuous fascia. The head, in the only example I have, is darker than the grou 
colour of the body ; in five examples of C. pallida, it is of the same clear testacet 
yellow as the rest of the body.

A minute species, distinguished by its dark brown or black head, and by \ 
flattcjued margins of the elytra being remarkably dilated about the middle. 1
