TBIBE OPATKINI. 



ANOMALIPUS MASHUNUS, 11. sp. 

 Plate XIII., tig. 10. 



Black, somewhat opaque ; head and prothorax covered with round 

 punctures separated by very narrow, plane interstices, head deeply 

 incised above the labrum, prothorax very broadly ampliated laterally 

 in both sexes, nearly straight close to the base in the male, not so 

 much in the female, and with the basal angle sharp but not project- 

 ing in either sex, very little convex on the disk and with the outer 

 sides depressed, there is no smooth patch or impression on the 

 discoidal part ; elytra not wider at the shoulders than the basal part 

 of the prothorax, slightly oblique at the humeral part in the male, 

 nearly parallel thence to the posterior, plane above as far as the 

 posterior declivity which is a little more convex and also less abrupt 

 in the female than in the male, having on each side three plain, 

 although not much raised, granular costules with four indistinct 

 intermediate ones in the male, whereas in the female these inter- 

 mediate costules are as much raised as the others, and the intervals 

 are finely granulose ; in both sexes the two basal abdominal 

 segments are strongly striate longitudinally, and the apical one 

 punctate ; anterior tibiae of the male, broadly dilated inwardly at 

 apex, the dilated part being deeply incised in the centre, intermediate 

 slightly arcuate but otherwise simple, and not dentate outwardly, 

 posterior ones simple ; in the female the anterior ones are simple 

 but more sharply dentate outwardly, and the intermediate ones have 

 a very distinct, bifid tooth on the upper median part. 



Length 19-19J mm. ; width 9i-10 mm.

A distinct species. 



ANOMALIPUS GASANUS. 

 Plate XIII., fig. 9. 



Male : Black with all the interstices on the upper side filled with 

 an earthy covering ; head normally incised in front and with a fairly 

 distinct, although not deep, transverse median impression, punctures 

 nearly contiguous laterally but divided by a sharp edge, less closely 

 set, and with smooth intervals in the median part ; prothorax 

 gradually ampliated laterally till the median part where it is rounded, 

 and slightly more narrowed thence to the sharply aculeate but not
