The above short description is all that Olivier gives ; no opinion 
can therefore be formed as to the position of this species. 
374. Cryptocephalus pusaensis, sp. n. 
Testaceous ; thorax with four more or less distinct black spots 
or bands surrounded by fulvous ; elytra also with four or more 
small black markings placed on the punctured striae. 
Head strongly and rather remotely punctured ; a central line 
and a small spot at base of antennae obscure piceous ; labrum 
testaceous ; antennae black, short, extending to base of elytra, 
basal four joints testaceous, apical joints slightly dilated. Thorax 
twice as broad as long, strongly narrowed in front, sides nearly 
straight ; surface strongly and subremotely punctured, middle of 
disc with two obscure piceous or dark fulvous longitudinal bands, 
more or less marked with black, sides with broader similarly 
coloured patch, marked with a black spot, rest of the disc pale 
flavous or testaceous, extreme basal margin black, Scutellum. 
oblong, apex truncate. Elytra subcylindrical, strongly punctate- 
striate, punctures deep and closely placed, partly transverse in 
shape, nearly black ; interstices sparingly punctured and finely 
wrinkled, the first row joined to the second near the middle, the 
sixth and seventh joined at apex behind the middle, interstices 
near lateral margins wider and raised ; shoulders with an irregular 
black elongate spot, another near scutellum and two immediately 
behind the middle ; these spots are often mere elongate short 
streaks like the widening of the punctures at those places.
