A series. 



Eugonops gen. no v. 



? . Similar to Ormiscus, more elongate. Upper edge of antennal cavity 

 cariniform, straight, extending from ape.x of rostrum close to eye, the rostrum 

 appearing constricted at base. Eye much longer than broad. Carina of pronotum 

 autebasal, similar to that of Ormiscus, very deej>ly concave, being subbasal in 

 middle, extreme end somewhat flexed forward. 



Type : E. germaini spec. nov. 



87. Eugonops germaini spec. nov. 



? . Black, pubescent grey ; first segment of antenna, base of second, and 

 claws rufons. Rostrum, head, and pronotum granulate-reticulate. Rostrum flat, 

 nearly three times as broad as long. Frons more tlian half the width of the 

 rostrum, not obviously convex. I'rothorax one-third broader than long, conical 

 from carina forward, not much longer above than at side, apical margin feebly 

 sinuate in middle, angle of carina ijrojecting laterad, base very strongly narrowed, 

 postcarinal portion black, with an oblique grey streak laterally. Scutellum grey, 

 rounded at apex. Elytra strongly dej)ressed transversely before middle as far as 

 seventh interspace, subbasal callosity therefore prominently convex ; apex evenly 

 convex ; pnnctate-striate, interspaces flat ; grey jiubescence sparse, a little denser 

 at apex and in basal half; a patch on subbasal callosity and a subtriatigular lateral 

 one beliind shoulder velvety black, connected witli one another, the dorsal one 

 jiriiduced forward in the stripes of punctures, and continuous with a small 

 rectangular sutnral spot situated in the depression. Pygidium large, longer than 

 broad, rounded at ajiex. A subapical ring on femora and middle of tibiae denser

Similar to the preceding. Rostrum twice as broad as long. Frons convex. 

 Eye narrower than in germaini. Prothorax longer, carina less convex dorso- 

 laterally ; base grey like disc, a black vitta from apex just below eye to base, 

 crossing carina near angle. Elytra nearly as in germaini, much less dejircssed
