than elsewhere, but not particularly long. The clothing is so 

 dense on the rostrum as to partially conceal its sculpture; the 

 median carina is distinct in the middle, but does not appear to 

 extend to theinterocular fovea or the apical plate; the sublateral 

 sulci appear to be short and rather shallow; the scrobes are 

 dilated and shallowed posteriorly, and appear to touch the lower 

 half of the eyes. The head, on each side near the eye, appears 

 to have a feeble, oblique ridge, but this is perhaps due more to 

 a line of stiff setae than to any actual elevation of the derm; 

 there are certainly no distinct tubercles present as on L. bai/eyi 

 and some other species, although the species is obviously allied 

 to L. frontalis. There is a shallow medio-apical impression on 

 the prothorax. The elytral punctures are large, but not in 

 geminate rows, and a few are transversely confluent; about 

 the base and apex the rows are constricted and irregular, but 

 across the middle there are. on the female, between the suture 

 and the first elevated line, three rows; between the first and 

 second, four or five rows; between the second and third, four or 

 five rows; and between the third and margin, five or six rows; on 

 the male, the rows are three, three, three, and five in number. 

 The female differs from the male also in Ijeing larger and wider, 

 elytra fully twice the width of prothorax (as against about once 

 and one-half in the male), and the legs are somewhat shorter. 



Leptops intricatus, n.sp. 



Black. Densely clothed with muddy-brown scales; with stout 

 setfe, rather numerous but somewhat iri'egularly distributed on 

 upper surface, but becoming denser and longer on muzzle, abdo- 

 men, and legs. 



Eostrnm moderately long, sculpture partially concealed. 

 Antennfe moderately long and thin; second joint of funicle 

 longer than first. Prothorax moderately transverse, sides irregu- 

 larly rounded; coarsely vermiculate, with an irregular medio- 

 frontal depression. Elytra suddenly wider than prothorax, not 

 much wider at middle than across shoulders; surface very 

 irregular. Legs moderately long; tibise not visibly denticulate. 

 Length, 11-13^ mm.
