4. Anomalipus deceptor spec. nov. 



(? ? . Black, covered with a terrenoiis sulistance. Head of the nonual shaj)e, 

 bnt very little impressed. Prothorax mnch depressed, broadly aiiipliatcd, and 

 rounded laterally, but very plainly narrowed in the posterior part, the angles 

 of which are long and project above the base of the elytra. The latter are 

 ]iarallel, yet slightly wider across the posterior declivity, somewhat short, plane 

 in the anterior part, and also on each side of the posterior declivity the median 

 part of which is raised, closely and finely granular, with the granules irregularly 

 scattered ; the suture and two costae on each side of it are very plainly raised, 

 and are granulose, and there are faint traces of an intermediate row of grannies 

 in the first and second intervals, while the lateral costae or costules are obliterated 

 — that is to say, the granules do uot form there distinct costules, except in the 

 apical part, where the third costa can be recognised. 



Length, 19 mm. ; width, 9 mm. 



Not unlike A. yranocostatus Fairm., but narrower, and with the prothorax, 

 and also the hind part of the elytra, mucli less ampliated ; the costae are also 

 much less conspicuous, and the anterior tibia of the male has a short vertical 

 tooth under the apical part, as in A. planus Fahrs., but shorter and thicker ; 

 this tooth or spine is wanting in A. granocostatus. 



5. Anomalipus amplipennis spec. nov. 



? . Black, opaque. Head roughly punctate. Prothorax broadly ampliated 

 laterally, and very little sinuated above the basal angle, which does not project 

 much ; the base is deeply sinuated near the angle ; the surface is covered with 

 round foveolate punctures, separated by a narrow interval ; there are four plain 

 impressions disposed in a transverse row at about the median part of the disc, 

 and two elongate ones near the base, each one equidistant from the centre and 

 the outer margin. The elytra are broader at the base than the base of the 

 prothorax the angle of which is in a line with the sixth elytral costa, strongly 

 convex from a third of the length, one-fourth wider past the median jiart than 

 across the base, plainly sex-costate on each side ; the costae are partly smooth 

 and partly granular, and the intervals are finely granulose. 



Length, 19 mm. ; width, 12 mm. 



This species is remarkable, owing to the ampliated shape of the elytra, 

 which project also more horizontally at the base beyond the angle of the prothorax 

 than in any ot\i«i female of the genus. 



6. Anomalipus selatinus spec. nov. 



S. Black, suliiip:ii|ue. Head with the normal shape and sculpture. Strongly 

 depressed on Ijoth the jjrothorax aud elytra. The former is widely rotundatc- 

 auijiliate, not much narrowed towards the basal angles, which are well devclo|ie(l, 

 with the base only slightly sinuate, covered with nearly 'contiguous small round 

 jranctures ; in the central i)art of the disc are four imi)ressiuns transversely 

 dis])osed, and a deeper longitudinal arcuate one, broader than tlie discoidal 

 ones, and extending from near the median part to the base ; the four discoidal 

 impressions consist of two foveae connected together, and none of them is 

 surrounded or indicated by a smooth areolet. Elytra parallel, only very slightly
