HETEROMERA. 563. 
little species differs from all the allied forms in the short, strongly clavate antenne; 
nevertheless it is not advisable at present to separate it from Strongylium. 
9 (a). Strongylium conradti. 
Moderately elongate, convex, dark bronze, the elytra very shining, the head (except in front) and the pro- 
’ thorax duller. Head very densely, finely punctate, more sparsely so in front, feebly longitudinally 
depressed in the middle between the eyes, the latter very large and somewhat narrowly separated ; 
antenne black, slender, thickening outwardly, joints 8-10 shorter and wider than 7, 10 almost as broad 
as long; prothorax strongly transverse; immarginate at the sides, widest a little before the base, the sides 
thence to the apex gradually converging and feebly rounded, and armed about the middle with a short 
blunt tooth, the base shallowly grooved within, the groove terminating on either side in a rather deep 
depression, the hind angles distinct, the disc canaliculate and feebly transversely depressed on either side 
about the middle, the surface very densely, finely, confluently punctured; elytra comparatively broad, 
convex, parallel in their basal half, with irregular rows of coarse, deep, excavations, which are here and 
there longitudinally or transversely confluent, these excavations becoming shallower and smaller on the 
apical declivity, and with strie of fine, approximate punctures at the bottom, the interstices smooth ; 
beneath shining, the flanks of the prothorax and the sides of the metasternum rather coarsely and closely, 
the ventral segments more finely, punctured ; legs slender, eeneous. 
Length 10, breadth 4 millim. 
Hab. GuatrmMata, Coban (Conradt). 
One specimen, apparently a male. Allied to S. canaliculatum, but with larger eyes 
and more slender limbs, the head and thorax more finely and more densely punctured, 
the elytral excavations not so coarse, becoming shallower at the apex. The thorax is 
very densely, rugosely punctured. . 
Specimens of S. excavatum, Makl., were also sent from Coban by Mr. Conradt. 
LOBOPODA (p. 387). 
In most of the hairy species of this genus the punctures of the elytral interstices 
are muricate, that is to say, they are each preceded by a minute raised point (the 
puncture itself being very shallow in some of the species); viewed under a low-power 
these points are scarcely visible. 
This character was not noticed in my descriptions. 
6 (a). Lobopoda calcarata. (Tab. XXIII. figg. 23, ¢; 23a, cedeagus.) 
Very elongate, pitchy-brown, shining, sparsely pubescent. Head very finely, sparsely punctate, the eyes very 
large and approximate in the male, smaller and very narrowly separated in the female; antenn ferru- 
ginous, slender ; prothorax moderately convex, gradually narrowing from the base, the sides rounded in 
front, the disc obsoletely canaliculate in the middle, the basal fovese deep, the surface very finely, sparsely 
punctate ; elytra very elongate, subparallel towards the base, gradually narrowing behind, deeply punctate- 
striate, the punctures approximate, but not coarse, the interstices flat on the disc, moderately convex 
towards the sides and apex, rather sparsely, very finely punctate, the apices rounded ; beneath ferru- 
ginous, sparsely, finely punctate, the sides of the metasternum coarsely so; legs ferruginous or obscure 
ferruginous, very elongate. 
g. Anterior tibie strongly and angularly dilated on the inner side before the middle. The lateral lobes of 
the last ventral segment long, 8poon-shaped, and curved inwards, armed on the upper edge near the base
