417. Cryptocephalus longipes, sp. n. 
Fulvous : apical joints of antennae, parts of breast, pygidium 
aud last abdominal segment black; thorax with two black spots : 
elytra with a transverse band at base not extending to suture and 
another entire band near apex black. 
Head distinctly but sparingly punctured, longitudinally grooved 
at middle; eyes deeply emarginate: clvpeus separated at sides 
from face ; antennae long and slender, third and fourth joints 
equal, following very elongate and slender, basal five fulvous, rest 
black. Thorax rather long but about one-half as broad again as 
long, strongly narrowed in front, sides straight, surface impunctate, 
a black spot on each side near middle, nearer to the anterior than to 
the posterior margin. Scutellum black, flavous at middle. Elytra 
slightly narrowed posteriorly, deeply and strongly punctate-striate, 
punctures closely placed, interstices slightly longitudinally raised, 
transversely wrinkled here and there ; the first band extends 
towards suture as far as the second row of punctures leaving 
basal and extreme lateral margins narrowly fulvous, second band 
extends across elytra quite to the margins, its edges sinuate ; both 
bands of the same width, the apex beyond the second band appears 
like a round fulvous spot. Legs very elongate and slender. 
Prosternum not produced anteriorly, posterior angles short and 
pointed.
