2, Cyrtolaus spinicauda. (Tab. y. fig. 2.) 



Brevius oblongo-ovatus, elytris ovatis subgibbosis, spina utrinque apicali ab angulo suturali paullo remota 

 Niger nitidus, palpis antennisque fulvis, pedibus rufo-piceis ; capite fere ut in C. furculifero ; thorace 

 latiore, ovato, antice magis quam postice angustato, lateribus valde arcuatis, margine fortiter (postice 

 multo magis) explanato-reflexo, angulis posticis elevatis rotundatis nullo modo dentatis ; elytris quam

The female is rather less ovate and gibbous than the male, and in this respect 

 approaches C.furculifer ; but the species may readily be distinguished in both sexes by 

 the form of the hind angles of the thorax, which in C. spinicauda are completely rounded 



off, and in C. furculifer form an abrupt, dentiform, salient angle.

3. Cyrtolaus lobipennis. 



Oblongus, minus convexus, niger, nitidus, palpis antennisque basi piceo-rufis, femoribus castaneo-rufis ; labro 

 angulatim emarginato ; maxillis angustissimis, apiee tenuiter hamatis ; oculis haud prominentibus ; thorace 

 elongato, prope apieem sat angustato, postice usque ad angulos lateribus parallelis, angulis anticis nullo 

 modo prominentibus, posticis rectis (sed apice obtusis) elevatis, foveis basalibus profundis linearibus, antice 

 versus apicem in linea minus profunda curvata continuatis ; elytris versus apicem 

 sinuatis, apice ipso sublobiformi, humeris rotundatis, dorso valde striatis, striis punctatis, interstitiis 

 modice convexis, tertio punctis setiferis duobus altero post medium altero prope apicem ; tarsis latis, supra 





subdepressis, articulis plerumque supra bisulcatis, quarti lobis minus rotundatis.

One example only, apparently a female. The deep and rather abrupt subapical 

 mation of the elytra is a remarkable feature of this species.
