snlcns, behind the sulcus widened laterad in cross-shape, clayish fawn, posteriorly 

 somewhat edged with grey, laterally an ochraccous clay spot extending from basal 

 margin across carina to near sulcus, a minute dot of tlie same colour above apex of 

 lateral carina, another at apical margin more dorsally, and a linear one at end 

 of transverse sulcus ; dorsal carina less angular in centre than in ceniina. 



Elytra as in L. cervinus, paler, with the same blackish lateral triangular patch 

 and without black dots ; the subbasal tubercle nearly as large as the median one 

 in third interspace and much larger than the autemedian one in fifth space, behind 

 middle a tubercle in seventh space, on apical declivity three tubercles in a triangle 

 (in spaces 3, 5 and 7), and an additional small tubercle in space 5 in a line with 

 the ones in spaces 3 and 7. P3-gidium entirely pale fawn like the apex of the 

 elytra. 



Underside thinly pubescent grey, almost api)earing black, the sterna laterally 

 with fawn spots, which are diffuse on the prosternite ; the entire prosternite and 

 nearly the whole metasternite coarsely punctured. Ijegs spotted in the usual way. 



One pair from Diego Suarez, N.E. Madagascar. 



Cedocus gen. nov. 



c? ?. Allied to Cedus Pasc. (18Gn) on the one hand and Hucics Pasc. (1850) on 

 the other. Rostrum vertical, abruptly angulate at the antennal grooves, which are 

 on a level with the underside of the head, distance of antenna from eye much 

 shorter than the distance from antenna to apex of rostrum ; upper surface of 

 rostrum flattened, carinate from frons to antennae, then feebly concave, with slight 

 mesial carina and sharply carinate lateral edges ; the sides incurved beyond antennae 

 and then gradually widening ; apical margin straight. Antennae nearly as in 

 Ci(lti», in 6 a little longer than the body with long fir.st segment. Eye nearly 

 circular, beneath snbuugulate jiosteriorly. 



Prothorax conical, widest at the basal angles, which are acute with the point 

 rounded oft'; angle of carina acute ; basi-lateral longitudinal carina very distinct. 



Elytra short, not depressed along suture. Metasternum very strongly convex. 

 First foretarsal segment half the length of the tibia in ?, a little over half in S. 



Type : C. It/nceus spec. nov. 



32. Cedocus lynceus spec. nov. 



cJ ? . Black ; rostrum, sides of head, and the whole under surface pubescent 

 white, upper surface bright clay-colour spotted with black. 



Rostrum, on upper side, more than twice as long as it is broad at apex ; 

 between eyes and antennae a vestigial mesial carina, sometimes hardly traceable, 

 further laterally a more distinct carina slightly curved in lyre-shape, and between 

 antennal groove and eye the rather blunt cariniform edge of the rostrum accompanied 

 laterally by a thin but distinct carina. Frons narrowest at some distance from 

 rostrum, of about the same width in the sexes, being slightly narrower than (he 

 first antennal segment. Antenna black-brown, first segment rufous, second 

 rufescent; in c? 3 to 7 slightly increasing in length, 7 being oue-tbird longer than 3, 

 9 and 11 slightly longer than 7, 8 a little shorter than 7, 10 about half the 

 length of y ; in ? the antenna reaches beyond middle of elytrum, 3, 5 and 7 of 

 equal length, 4, U and 8 a little shorter, 8 as long as lU or slightly longer, half 

 the length of '.».
