carinula brevissima in niedio instructa, basi ipsa transversim im- 

 pressa, margine crassa, recurva ; elytra humeris valde obliquis, pone 

 humeros prothorace duplo latiora, deinde longe post medium parallela, 

 ubi versus apicem acurninata, supra sat convexa, postice sat longe 

 dehiscentia, sutura elevata prgeterea, carina lateral! acuta postice 

 serrulata, medium declivitatis attingente carinisque duabus discoida- 

 libus longe ante apicem cohaerentibus atque in lineam acutam cum 

 carina lateral! connexam continuatis in singulo praedita, interstitiis 

 late clathratis ; subtus pedesque dense ocbraceo pubescentes. Long. 

 14 mm. ; lat. 7 mm. 



Hab. ? Zambesia. 



Very distinct from E. spinicollis, Sol.

GEN. ANOMALIPUS, Guer. 

 ANOMALIPUS AGRESTIS. 



Niger, nitidus, interstitiis elytrorum punctisque prothoracis squamis 

 terrenis vel griseis repletis ; caput antice sub-rotundatum, in medio 

 distincte excisum ; prothorax longitudine duplo latior, valde rotun- 

 dato-ampliatus, apice in circulum emarginatus angulis anticis acutis, 

 lateribus deplanato marginatis, basi apice quarto latior, angulis pos- 

 ticis retrorsum acute productis, supra parum convexus, punctis pro- 

 fundis, interstitiis in medio disci areolas irregulares formantibus, sat 

 dense obsitus ; elytra antice prothoracis basi baud latiora, ab humeros 

 pone medium nonnihil ampliata, ubi vix quarto latiora, in dorso 

 deplanata, postice distincte infiexa, fere verticalia, sutura ele- 

 vata costisque sub-glabris tribus nonnihil carinatis, praeter carinam 

 lateralem in singulo praedita, interstitiis utroque minute granulatis 

 tuberculisque parum elevatis, sub-rotundatis costain breviorem fere 

 formantibus in medio seriatis ; pedes sat robust!, tibiis anticis sim- 

 plicibus, externe bi-dentatis ? . Long. 25 mm. ; lat. 15 mm. 



Belongs to the same group as A. mastodon, and urns, Fahr., and 

 also dentipes, Fabric. It approximates more the former in general 

 facies, but is easily recognised by the coarser and more irregular 

 punctuation of the prothorax ; the interstitial costa on the elytra is 

 not as carinate as in A. dentipes, and consists more of a series of 

 somewhat closely set rounded tubercles.
