Elytra as in N. humeralis Faust , 73 produced and obliquely trun- 
cate at shoulders, otherwise similar to the preceding (N. bifas- 
ciculatus) but distinguished as follows: Rostrum at base only a 
little more coarsely punctate, without dorsal carina; thorax 
broadest at base, there one-seventh broader than long, lateral 
margin in posterior half hardly converging toward base, sides 
with a few smooth granules, hind angles acute, disk carinulate 
in the middle and with a transverse row of four black, fascicu- 
lated spots, the anterior margin with two such spots, scales like 
those of elytra, minute, remote, ochraceous ; scutellum hemisphe- 
ric, yellowish-scaled; elytra with rows of more or less roundish 
or quadrate punctures, which are never distinctly oblong; an 
elevated stripe on declivity of suture, a tubercle at base, and an 
elevated stripe in the middle of second interval black-scaled; 
femora covered prevailingly with ovate and sparser lanceolate 
scales. 9 
Nechyrus lineicollis sp. nov.

mo ante declivitatem, secundo pone basin et ad declivitatem, 3. 
et 4. solum ad declivitatem, macula oblonga, nigro-fasciculata, 
posterioribus fasciam obliquam formantibus, prothorace longi- 
tudine paulo latiore, rude crebreque, apicem versus subtilius 
punctato; scutello minuto, subacuminato-rotundato ; elytris pro- 
thorace latioribus, punctato-substriatis, spatiis convexiusculis, 
striarum punctis oblongis confertis; corpore subter parce mi-

Dull black all over, covered with scattered, minute, luteous 
scales, a median stripe on posterior half of prothorax with 
larger and denser scales, metasternum and first sternite glossy, 
remainder minutely and remotely luteous-scaled ; rostrum on 
basal half coarsely, somewhat seriately, finely punctate ; antennae

by a transverse row of four tubercles on the declivity, the inner two of 
which are much larger than the outer.
