BY THE REV, T. BLACKBURN. 255 



The very small species for which I found this genus is remarkable 

 by its anterior coxae not contiguous, the presence of a large tooth 

 ou the front femora and tibiae of the male, and the mucronate 

 apex of its four anterior tibiae. It seems to be near Eutinophoia, 

 which, however, differs from it inter alia by its straight tibiae and 

 contiguous front coxae. The head of Maleuteiyes is very like that 

 of Eutinophoea as represented in Trans. Ent. Soc. 1870, t. 5, 

 fig. 6, a-b. 



Malkuterpes spinipes, sp.nov. 



Rufo-fuscus, antennis (clava excepta) pedibusque rufis ; supra 



squamis fuscis cinereisque variegatim ornatus, subtus dense 



argenteo-cinereo squamosus ; ])rothorace vix trans verso, 



lateribus rotundatis ; elytris punctulato-striatis, humeris 



distinctis, basi subtruncata, interstitiis alternis manifeste 



convexis. [Long. IJ, lat. -J line. 



The scales form a more or less distinct variegated pattern. In 



a well marked example the fuscous scales may be taken as the 



groundcolour, the cinereous scales covering the legs, the rostrum, 



and the front and sides of the prothorax, and forming on the 



elytra a patch on each shoulder and a fascia behind the middle, 



immediately in front of which the fuscous scales are almost 



blackish.

EUTHYPHASIS PARVA, Sp.nOV. 



Ferruginea antennis tarsisque piceis, nonnullorum exemplorum 

 corpore toto (elytris femoribus tibiisque exceptis) picescenti ; 

 squamis cinereis sparsim vestita ; rostro quam latiori fere 

 duplo longiori ; squamis in prothorace trilineatim condensatis; 

 hoc quam latiori sat longiori, capite sat crebre nee grosse 

 ruguloso ; elytris punctulato-striatis, ad apicem spiniformibus 

 valde productis, singulis macula mediana obliqua albida 

 ornatis. [Long. 3, lat. |- line. 



Much like E. acuta, Pasc, but inter alia much smaller, and 

 having the antennae entirely blackish.
