tubercles, almost (from some directions apparently quite) closing 

 the passage of the subapical impression. The space directly 

 behind the impression, from some directions, appears to be trans- 

 versely oblong. 



On this and all the foUowirig species there is a more or less 

 conspicuous fringe of long pale hairs on each side of the lower 

 surface of the head, just behind the eyes. They also all have 

 several feeble elevations and depressions at the extreme base of 

 the upper surface of abdomen, but as the.se are more or less 

 distinct, according to the position of the elytra, it is not con- 

 sidered necessary to describe them. 



Batrisodks TENUicoRNis, n.sp. 



(J. Reddish-castaneous, elytra paler, appendages still paler. 

 With moderately long, [lale pubescence, and with a few long 

 hairs scattered about. 



Head with a shallow impression between antennary tubercles, 

 which are fairly distinct; with a rather large fovea close to each 

 eye, closed beliind but shallowly open ia front; base feebly 

 notched Antennae long and tliin, none of the joints transverse, 

 third shortest of all, sixth and eighth slightly shorter than fifth 

 and seventh, ninth and tenth rather long, and each not much 

 shorter than eleventh. Frolhorax about as long as wide, sides 

 strongly rounded in front, and more gently to base; near base 

 with a deep sinuous impression; each side with a deep impression 

 which is narrowed in front and dilated behind, till it irregularly 

 joins in with the subbasal line; near apex with a deep, irregular, 

 transverse impression; disc strongly convex, the middle laised 

 and in the form of an obtuse triangle overhanging the frontal 

 impression; punctures sparse and very irregularly distriljuted. 

 Elytra vvitii dorsal striae deep and distinct at base, but rapidly 

 decreasing in depth, and terminated before middle; shoulders 

 unarmed. Metasternmn strongly impressed along middle. 7Vo- 

 chanters unarmed. Length 14^ mm.
