Plate V. Fig. 6. 

 Long. Corp. Lin. 3f . 



Habitat in America Septentrionali ? Ex Mus, D. Francillon. 



Desc, Corpus oblongum, piceum, nitidum, albido squamulo- 

 sum, subtus confertius. Caput suborbiculatum punctatum. Pro^ 

 thorax confertissime granulatus* scaber. 



Elytra lacunosa punctulatissima : disco longitudinaliter in 

 carinam obtusam undatam elevato, apud suturam depressa bistri- 

 ata : striis laevibus. Tibice extrinsecus striatulae. Abdomen po- 

 dice medio elevato in cornu breve longitudinale triangulare acu- 

 tum, segmento ventrali penultimo, utrinque cornu acuto, intror- 

 sum basi spiraculifero, armato. 



Genus. Campulipus. 



Nasus subtrapezoideus, utrinque et antice marginatus : mar- 

 gine reflexo, medio concavus. 



AntenncB capite fere longiores decem-articulatae : scapo incras- 

 sato elevato, arcuato ; articulis intermediis in dentem extra pro- 

 minentibus ; capitulo trilamellato elongato : lamella iuferiori pu- 

 bescente. 



Proihorax subhexagonus, vel lateribus in angulum obtusum 

 -prominentibus. 



Prosternum elevatum^ compressum, hirsutum, apice subemargi- 

 natum. 



Pedes* Cubitus apice tridentatus. Tibice intermediae in angu- 

 lum obtusum incurvatae et quasi fractas. 



Coleoptra subpruinosa disco plana, lateribus declivia, longiora 

 qaam in reliquis Trichiadis, & partem podicis operientia. 



Corpus subdepressum : trunco subtus hirsute. 



Type of the genus Melolontha limbata Oliv. Trichius limbatus 

 De Jean. 



This genus, though evidently one of the Trichiadce, recedes 

 from Trichius so much in habit, especially in its depressed body, 

 long elytra, remarkable intermediate tibiae, and nasus truncated 

 and narrowest at its apex, that I have no hesitation in separating 

 it. It is said by the Baron De Jean, in his catalogue, to be a 

 native of the East Indies.
