beneath with hairs, giving rise to an appearance of this joint being lobed. The teeth 
at the sides of the thorax are small. The fourth joint of the hind foot is not visible 
in this male example. The metasternum is elongate. 
4, Henoticus loberinus, sp. n. (Tab. XVIII. fig. 16.) 
Oblongo-ovalis, testaceus, antennarum clava fusca; parce subtiliter punctatus; prothorace transverso, antice 
angustato, lateribus minute crenatis ; elytris subtiliter pubescentibus, stria suturali subtilissima, sutura 
anguste fuscescente. 
Long. 24 millim. 
Hab. GuaTEMALA, Quezaltenango 7800 feet (Champion). 
Antenne moderately short, club large, abrupt, joints 9 and 10 strongly transverse. 
Head coarsely punctate, much narrower than the thorax. Thorax narrower than the 
elytra, nearly twice as broad as long, a good deal narrowed in front, the lateral margin 
minutely serrate; punctuation rather fine; a definite punctiform fovea contiguous with 
the basal margin on each side, this margin strongly raised in the middle. Elytra with 
fine punctuation and very short pubescence, neither of which is seriate. Metasternum 
with a large fovea at the most anterior and outer part of its lateral lobe. One specimen. 
This is a very distinct species, and will perhaps form a separate genus. The legs 
are slender, the fourth joint of the hind tarsus is very little smaller than the third 
joint and is not at all lobed beneath. The specimen is probably a male, as the 
basal joints of the front feet are slightly enlarged. If it be really a male, the 
conspicuously 5-jointed hind feet would make the insect a different genus from the 
European type. 
PHAROXONOTHA. 
Pharoxonotha, Reitter, Deutsche ent. Zeitschr. 1875, Heft iii. p. 44. 
The only species described of this genus was originally found in drugs in Silesia, and 
was said by Reitter to occur also in Mexico.

The species for which this genus is established bears very little resemblance to 
ordinary Cryptophagide, and has rather the appearance of certain Othniide or Myceto-
