Genus Estola^ Fairmaire. 
Fairmaire, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1859, p. 524. 
This genus is very closely allied to Esthlogena, the shape of 
the headj form and proportion of antennal joints, clothing of 
body, and general appearance offering no points of difference 
worthy of mention. The body, however, is less elongated, the 
elytra being shorter and subtrigonal. The tarsal claws in all 
the species that I have examined are fully divergent — a character 
which will at once distinguish the present genus from the pre- 
cedins;. 
1. Estola hasinotata, n. sp. 
E. elongato-oblonga, postice attenuata, setosa, bmnneo-fidva ; tho-

rotundata, nigro-velutiihs ; pedibus rufescentibus. Long. 3-4^ lin. 
Head thickly punctured and clothed with tawny-brown pu- 
bescence. Antennse as long as the body, fringed beneath with

eighth joint white, tipped with dusky. Thorax slightly narrowed 
at the base; sides each with a conical, acute tubercle ; surface 
punctured, setose, tawny brown, base on each side with two 
velvety blackish spots margined with ashy. Elytra narrowed 
from base to apex, the latter rounded ; surface setose, punctate- 
striate, punctures elongated; uniform tawny brown, base of each 
with a rounded, velvety, purplish-black spot. Body beneath 
blackish, clothed with fine grey pile, and setose ; legs reddish, 
setose.

2. Estola variegata, n. sp. 
E. elongato-oblonga, postice attenuata, setosa, nigro griseo et fulvo 
Isete variegata. Long. 4 lin. 
Head coarsely punctured, setose, black, varied with fulvous 
spots and spotted with grey behind the eyes. Antennse as long 
as the body, sparingly setose, dark reddish, bases of the joints 
testaceous ; eighth joint v/hitish, tipped with brown. Thorax 
slightly narrowed behind; lateral tubercles large, with apex acute 
and slightly recurved ; surface setose, coarsely punctured, but 
leaving small smooth interspaces, black, varied with clear, large, 
fulvous spots. Elytra tapering from base to apex, the latter 
rounded; surface setose, punctured in lines; third interstice 
costate behind, minutely varied with black, clear fulvous, and grey, 
the last colour prevailing along the suture, and a light fulvo- 
testaceous spot lying across the suture towards the apex. Body 
beneath black, thinly clothed with grey pile; legs reddish, varied
