broad interval ; in the male the anterior tibiae are slightly bent 

 inwardly and have there a row of conspicuous, nearly equi-distant 

 spines, and the apical inner part is elongated into a sub-horizontal 

 blunt process pubescent at the tip, set almost at right angles with 

 the long outer apical tooth, and not produced into a vertical spine 

 underneath ; the anterior and posterior tibia?, are simple, the inter- 

 mediate ones have the usiial median spine on the upper margin. 



In general appearance this species is not unlike A. dentipes, but it 

 is easily recognised by the faint, equally high costules of the 

 elytra, the pubescent inner projection of the apex of the anterior 

 tibiae, as well as by the shape of the genital armature which is 

 quite different from that of any other species of the genus. Female 

 unknown.

ANOMALIPUS PAUXILLUS, n. sp. 



Black, with the intervals of the elytra and the punctures filled 

 with an earthy matter ; prothorax broadly ampliate, sinua,te near the 

 basal angle, covered with nearly contiguous round punctures and 

 having in the centre of the disk two round impressions, and also an 

 arcuate one on each side equi-distant between the outer margin and 

 the discoidal impression ; elytra very little ampliated laterally, 

 plainly convex in the posterior part, with the suture highly raised 

 and on each side three sharp costaa with faint traces of alternate 

 ones, the surface is granular ; the anterior tibia? are not spinose 

 inwardly in the male, and the apical inner angle is slightly project- 

 ing and produced into a sub-vertical triangular tooth beneath the 

 two inner spurs ; intermediate and posterior tibiae simple. 



This species looks also like a diminutive specimen of A. dentipes, 

 but the shape of the anterior tibiae is different. 



Length 15 mm. ; width 8 mm.

ANOMALIPUS HYPOCRITA, n. sp. 



Male : Black, with a terrenous indumentum on the elytra ; head 

 normally incised in front, very indistinctly impressed on each side of 

 the median part ; prothorax broadly ampliated laterally slightly past 

 the median part where it is twice as broad as long, much more 

 abruptly narrowed in the posterior than in the anterior part, and 

 with the basal angles sharp but not projecting, covered with equally
