LNSECTA SAUNDERSl'ANA. 
cyanipennis , F.; the largest as the small specimens of Attel. variabilis. 
Very distinct from the other species of this Section, in its thorax being 
more convex and rounded at the sides, less attenuate—inclined anteriorly ; 
its punctuation very strong, much more so than in Attel. foveolatus , 
Sch. The elytra are less abruptly and more regularly, gibbose, more so 
than in Attel. Columbians, Er., aud the rostrum is proportionally shorter.

Very nearly allied to Attel. melanocoryphus , Germ., but differs in 
having the head entirely concolorous and the general coloration paler ; 
the rostrum broader and flatter; the head also flatter and a little more 
conic, having no real transverse deep striga posteriorly, but showing in 
the male only a slight short impression not separating the occiput from 
the vertex; the thorax is much flatter, more conic; the scutellum less 
triangularly impressed at the base, &c.
