Show 258 MR. F. A. HERON AND SIR G. F. nAMPSON ON THE [Nov. 3, omato, interstitiis squamulis miuutis rufescentibus vestitis, linea albo-squamosa ultra costam lateralem, humeris extus productis, tibiis anticis intus dentibus numerosis armatis; corpore subtus brunneo-vestito, abdominis depresso, nudo. Long, {rostr. excl.) 12*5 mm. This species is closely related to N. nodicollis and perpastus of Boheman (the former has no affinity with the species of which it stands as a synonym in the Munich Catalogue, that insect, leuco-gaster Perty, belonging to the genus Pantomorus). The lateral spines of the new form are longer than in the other two, and those of the thorax are placed farther back. The thorax is proportionally longer, and the smooth elevated spots on its disc are peculiar to this species, as is the single sharply elevated discoidal costa of the elytron. This costa does not quite reach either the base or apex. The pinkish colour of the scales upon the disc of the elytra is perhaps not constant. W e have only a single male specimen.
