COLEOPTERA. 
sir 
Variat capite pone oculos aut nigro subbivittato aut infuscato. 
Very nearly allied in shape, sculpture and signatures to Eusc « 
amplectens , Manh., Sch., but evidently distinct. Ground-colour of a 
sanguineous hue, markings of the elytra more reddish or sanguineous. 
Rostrum more slender and elongate, according to the sex. Antennce 
black or blackish, more elongate and slender. Head not canaliculate. 
Thorax even, only showing a very slight appearance of a fovea on each 
side of the disk. Elytra more elongate, showing two costiform inter¬ 
stices; their ground black-colour has a bluish or violaceous hue, with 
the base evidently rufous; the suture to the apex rufescent; the 
apex itself does not bear a real limited spot or macula, but is only, like 
the suture, indeterminately — indeed marginate — rufous. Besides, 
there is a lateral thin rufous line, beginning somewhat above the middle 
and finishing at the two-thirds. Rostrum punctate; head and thorax 
smooth; pygidium and abdomen slightly punctulate ; pectus strongly 
punctate. Scutellum transverse, shortly subtriangular, with the apex 
rounded, shorter than in Eusc. amplectens. Elytra foveate-reticulate, 
with no interruption of the foveas on the rufous maculae and fascia, 
except the passage of the two costae.
