concealed by scales; no interstices conspicuously elevated. H ind 

 tibia'- with a few conspicuous teeth; claw-joint elongate, the 

 claws separated throughout. Length, 6| mm.

In some respects close to 0. ocularis but smaller, eyes not 

 suban^ulate, and no elvtral interstices elevated. There aie a 

 few granules on the two basal segments of abdomen. The 

 clothing is of an almost uniform dingy-white throughout, and 

 nowhere condensed into markings, but the type appears to be 

 somewhat abraded. 



Amisallus tubercumfkons, n.sp. 



Black, antenna; and tarsi feebly diluted with red. Densely 

 clothed with muddy-brown scales, interspersed with setse. 



Head with two large, obtuse tubercles between eyes; these 

 very narrow. Rostrum moderately long, dilated towards apex, 

 median carina traceable through clothing; apical triangle con- 

 spicuously elevated and shining. Scape rather lightly curved, 

 rather rapidly increasing in width to apex; two basal joints of 

 funicle moderately long, second slightly longer than first, all the 

 others transverse. Prothorax moderately transverse, rather 

 widely depressed along middle, each side of depression con- 

 spicuously bituberculate towards apex, with numerous small 

 tubercles or nodes elsewhere. Elytra briefly subovate, strongly 

 convex, much wider than prothorax; with rows of very large 

 punctures, regular only on sides; with numerous round, con- 

 spicuous tubercles. Length, 7-8 mm.

In general appearance like A. nodosus, but elytra without 

 small tubercles on suture at summit of apical slope, and median 

 channel of prothorax deeper, with the tubercles at its sides con- 

 siderably larger; seen directly from in front, the apex of the 

 prothorax is very conspicuously bituberculate. There are a few- 

 inconspicuous tubercles at the extreme base of elytra, but the 

 larger ones are in two rows on each elytron, and so placed that 

 the end ones, whilst distinctly belonging to the inner row, might
