522 MISCELLANEA ENTOMOLOGICA, NO. IV. 



7. PTEROHELiEUS CORNUTUS, n. sp. 



In form, size and sculpture like P. Walkeri, but differs in having 

 the lateral angles of the epicranium more elevated and distinctly 

 terminating in a tooth. The sculpture of the elytra also differs in 

 having the double row of punctures in the interstices placed close 

 on each side of the costse, giving them a crenulated appearance, 

 and with scarcely a trace of the intermediate costge, which are just 

 traceable in P. Walkeri. The thighs of this species are evidently 

 more dilated than in P. Walkeri.

Broadly ovate, black, sub-opaque. Head large, sub-quadrate, 

 truncate in front and rounded at the angles, with a broad shallow 

 canaliculation between the eyes. Thorax transverse and largely 

 emarginate in front, with large flat margins, a little raised and 

 thickened on the border towards the anterior angles, and with the 

 posterior angles sub-acutely pointed backwards. Scutellum trans- 

 versely and curviliuearly triangular and transversely impi-essed 

 in the middle. Elytra not longer than the breadth, as broad as 

 the thorax at the base, and rounded at the apex, with a broad 

 smooth margin — broadest at the humeral angle, and becoming 

 narrower to the apex — raised on the border, the disk with eight 

 strong costfe, the second from the suture the largest, and the 

 later alones resembling continuous rows of nodules, the intervals 

 rather obliterately punctate in double rows. Abdomen sub-nitid, 

 and marked with longitudinal striohe. Antennte, palpi, and tarsi
