Tachygonus quadrisignatus, sp. n. (Tab. IX. figg. 32, 32 



Rhomboidal, depressed, shining, black, the antennae, the anterior and intermediate legs, and the third and 

 fourth joints of the posterior tarsi, testaceous; the upper surface and posterior legs thickly set with long, 

 fine, erect, brownish setae, those at the base of the femora white, the elytra also with a scattered series 

 of imbricate, decumbent, ochreous setae along the suture, the flanks of the prothorax and the sides of the 

 body beneath clothed with pectinate white scales, the elytra each with two small matted tufts of similar 

 scales — one, oblique, near the suture at about one-third from the base, the other, oblong, on the fifth 

 interstice beyond the middle ; the anterior and intermediate legs with long pallid hairs and whitish 

 scales. Prothorax small, transverse, subcorneal ; somewhat closely punctate, except along the smooth 

 median space. Elytra broad, transversely cordate, coarsely seriate-punctate, the interstices narrow, 

 sparsely punctate. Posterior femora elongate, armed with four long (two on each side of the shallow 

 groove beneath) and several smaller teeth . Posterior tibiae arcuate, moderately stout, sharply toothed 

 at the inner apical angle.

3 . Elongate, piceous, densely clothed with small narrow flavo-cinereous scales, these becoming a little larger 

 'and whiter on the under surface, the elytra with a few intermixed fuscous scales on two transverse 

 spaces on the disc. Head densely, the rostrum very sparsely and finely, punctate, the latter slender and 

 about as long as the prothorax. Prothorax slightly broader than long, gradually narrowing from the 

 base and abruptly constricted at some distance before the apex, the base itself deeply bisinuate ; densely, 

 finely punctate, and with an incomplete, slender, polished, median carina. Scutellum large, strongly 

 , transverse. Elytra moderately elongate, considerably wider than the prothorax, transversely depressed 

 below the base, gradually and obliquely narrowing from the rather prominent humeri ; very finely 

 punctate- striate, the interstices flat, densely, finely punctate. Legs elongate, the anterior pair longer 

 than the others ; tibiae ciliate on the inner edge towards the apex ; anterior tarsi thickly, the others 

 more sparsely, set with long, projecting, bristly, blackish hairs, the anterior pair elongated and with the 

 basal joint about as long as 2 and 3 united.
