PAGRIA.

body, shorter in the female, basal four or live joints fulvous, rest 
black, secoud and third nearly equal, slightly shorter than the 
fourth. Thorax subcylindrical, about half as broad again as long, 
sides rounded ; disc strongly convex, strongly longitudinally stri- 
gose and reticulate. Scutellum pentagonal, with a few punctures. 
Elytra wider at base than the thorax, distinctly depressed below 
the base, closely longitudinally costate, interstices strongly punc- 
tured. Legs piceous, apex of tibia3 and the tarsi (generally) fulvous ; 
femora with distinct tooth beneath. 
Length 3-4 mm.

Easily recognizable by the dark bronze-coloured upper surface 
and the rugose anci costate thorax and elytra ; the species is not 
entirely typical of the genus and the ocular sulci are not always 
well marked. Lefevre’s description of his P. strigicollis published 
some months later thau that of P. eostatipennis , mihi, closely agrees 
with it, except that the antenna? of P. strigicollis are given as 
scarcely reaching to the end of the thorax, which is not the case 
in any specimen before me.

1859, p. 263. 
Dark aeneous ; labrum and basal joints of antennae fulvous. 
Head closely rugose-punctate ; antennae black, basal four joints 
fulvous, third and fourth elongate. Thorax subcylindrical, sides 
rounded, closely rugose-punctate. Elytra much wider at base 
than the thorax, deeply transversely depressed below base, surface 
strongly costate, interstices strongly punctate-striate, sides irregu- 
larly punctured, without costae. Legs slender, piceous ; femora 
with a small tooth beneath. 
Length 4 mm.

This insect was described by Walker as one of the Curculi- 
oniclce , to which it has some slight outward resemblance. It 
is so closely allied to P. eostatipennis, Jac. that it is doubtful 
whether it is specifically distinct, but the elytra are more irregularly 
punctured at the sides and the legs seem more slender and are 
with piceous in colour. 
636. Pagria laevifrons, sp. n. 
Black ; labrum, antennae, tibia? and tarsi fulvous. 
Head entirely impunctate, deeply sulcate above the eyes; clypeus 
subquadrate, separated from the face by a deep groove ; antennae 
entirely fulvous, terminal joints thickened. Thorax subcylindrical, 
posterior nearly twice the width of the anterior margin, sides 
not angulated, nearly straight, surface rather closely and finely
