as the elytra; the latter occasionally have the suture feebly 

 infuscatecl. The ninth and tenth joints are slightly darker than 

 the eleventh. The clothing on some specimens is very distinct 

 but appears to \>e easily abraded. 



Two specimens before me (sexes) are entirely pale, but this is 

 probably from immaturity. In appearance they are remarkably 

 close to K sulcata, but the second ventral segment has a much 

 shorter tubercle. 



EUPINES DISTORTICORNIS, n.sp. 



(J. Dull reddish-castaneous, legs somewhat paler, club slightly 

 darker. 



Head rather more transverse than usual, with a shallow impres- 

 sion close to each eye, and a somewhat larger but shallower 

 impression behind each antenna. Antennse with fifth joint 

 inflated and angularly produced at inner apex, ninth moderately 

 transverse and somewhat produced on one side, tenth larger 

 than ninth, one side of apex somewhat produced, the other 

 excavated, eleventh fairly laige, with the inner base strongly 

 produced backwards. Prothorax widest at about one-third from 

 apex. Elytra rather more strongly dilated posteriorly than 

 usual, dorsal strife traceable at extreme base only. Metasternuvi 

 widely and shallowly impressed along middle. Abdomen with 

 second segment impressed along middle. Length 1 mm. 



5. Differs in having fifth joint of antennae simple, metasternunj 

 not impressed along middle, and abdomen simple.

In many respects close to Raffray's description of E. diversicolor, 

 but the antennae differ from Raffray's figure in the ninth joint 

 being much less produced, and the eleventh strongly produced 

 obliquely backwards on one side; the fifth is produced on one 

 side also. From the original description it differs in several 

 respects in colour. The shapes of the joints of the club readily 

 distinguish it from all other species having the fifth joint inflated. 



The upper surface at first appears to be quite glabrous, but on 

 careful examination a few pale hairs are to be seen. The
