angle in a depressed space above the basal declivity; a row of 

 ocellate punctures along sides in the wide shallow marginal 

 channel. Prosternum narrowly liordered along anterior margin; 

 intercoxal part wide, lightly convex, rounded and bisetose at 

 base. Legs long : anterior almost as in Eiitoma, the femora 

 longer and narrower; intermediate tibite with a strong triangular 

 external tooth at apex. 



Length 25, breadth 7 mm.

This is a species to which it is hard to assign an exact position 

 among described Carenums; the head and j^ro thorax present an 

 evident likeness to those of Mutoma, but the antennse are more 

 elongate (not mouiliform and incrassate), and their long apical 

 joint is very different from the short one of Eutoma; the margins 

 of. the elytra are not thick as in Eutoma. In a general way it 

 resembles a Conopteram, but, among other differences, has the 

 border of the elytra thickened and folded over at the humeral 

 angles. On the whole I think it must be placed with Caremcm 

 qua'ilripunclatiwi and C. batesi, Masters( = C. ;;/«?« ^};en7ie, Bates); 

 the description given above will prevent its being confused with 

 any spscies yet attributed to the group of which C. quailrijnmc- 

 tatiiin is the t3'^pe, while evident characters of difference from C. 

 bntesi must be (a) the elytra with discoidal punctures near the 

 base, (6) not retuse at base, (c) the shoulders not advanced, {d) 

 the lateral margins not thickened as in EiUoma. 



The apical joint of the maxillar}^ palps is widely securiform, 

 that of the labial very widely securiform; the antennae have the 

 joints glabrous on the compressed sides. The specimen described 

 is the (J; it is possible the pointed posterior trochanters may be 

 peculiar to the ^, as in some lirofcidas of the genus Parroa. 



Carenum pulchrum, n.sp. 



Parallel, elongate, depressed, Itevigate ; head large, strongly 

 transversely depressed at base; prothorax hardly broader than 

 long, sinuate-angustate posteriorly, base widely lobate; elytra flat 

 on disc, quadripunctate, infiexed margin very narrow behind first
