“ Resembles much N. cribricolle, Motsch. The thorax is 
similarly opaque, on account ofc‘ the deep puncturation : the 
general size is, however, larger, humeral angles more prominent ; 
the femora and the epipleune are blue like the upper surface, and 
the femora are feebly dentate.

“ Testaceous, shining ; head in front and thorax distantly punc-

fuscous ; antennae (base excepted), four spots on each elytron, and 
the suture black, finely punctate-striate.

Genus PSEUD0ST0N0PA. 
Pseudostonopa, Jac. Ann. Soc. Ent. Bely, xlvii, p. 98 (1903). 
Type, P. bicolor, Jac., from India. 
Range. India. 
Subquadrately-ovate ; eyes entire; clypeus not separated from 
the face, anteriorly triangularly emarginate ; palpi very slender ; 
antennae filiform, second joint as long as or longer than the third. 
Thorax transversely subquadrate, subeylindrieal, lateral margins 
rounded or obtusely biangulate. Scutellum broadly subovate. 
Elytra slightly wider at base than the thorax, subeylindrieal, 
punctate-striate. Legs robust ; femora thickened, unarmed; tibine 
sulcate, intermediate and posterior tibiae emarginate at apex, the 
emargination closely pubescent; claws appendiculate. Prosternum 
subquadrate ; anterior margin of thoracic episternum concave. 
The affinities of this genus are nearer to Nodostoma than to any 
other, but the whole appearance of the insects is different, very 
convex and subeylindrieal ; the elytra are but slightly wider at 
base than the thorax and have only a very slight depression below 
the base. The principal difference, however, is in the equal width 
of the thorax, which is not narrowed in front nor angulate at sides 
near base as in most of the forms of Nodostoma.
