and subequal, 3rd short, deeply bilobed. Elliptic, convex above 

 and below, non-tuberculate, winged. 

 A very distinct genus. 



Prothoiax with two transverse lines of scales, elytra with 



three Vigorm, Gyll. 



Prothorax with one transverse line of scales, elytra with two vicinus, Faust. 



Enteles Yigorsii, Gyll.; I.e. No. 5568. 



Black, shining; antennae, claws and tibial hooks piceous-red. 

 Elongate, setose, adpressed scales (in ^ dark, in 9 pale strami- 

 neous), forming two lines across prothorax, one almost at extreme 

 apex (usually but not always interrupted in middle) and one at 

 extreme base, the two conjoined at sides; elytra with three similar 

 lines, one slightly before middle, curved, and extending to meta- 

 sternum; one after the middle, straight and reaching 2nd abdo- 

 minal segment; the third semicircular, its base and sides touching 

 the middle line, the enclosed spaces with a few feeble spots; 

 between base and first line there are numerous spots, and the 

 suture is bare; between 1st and 2nd lines there are usually no 

 spots, but the suture is clothed. The under surface has similar 

 scales to the upper; they narrowly margin apex of prosternum, 

 sides of pectoral canal, mesosternal receptacle, margins of 1st 

 abdominal segment (except intercoxal process) and sides of the 

 other segments; a few scales scattered about, especially on the 

 two basal and the apical segment of abdomen; legs with scattered 

 scales, causing them to appear grey to the naked eye. Sides of 

 eyes and of rostrum at base with scales. Ciliation short, dense, 

 silvery; visible with head in position. 



Head feebly and minutely punctate; ocular fovea deep, distinct, 

 in 9 open at apex. Rostrum shorter and more noticeably curved 

 in (J than 9? finely punctate throughout, the punctures very 

 feeble in ^^ S ^^'ith ^ shallow squamose groove on each side from 

 eye almost to insertion of antenme, a narrow costa separating it 

 from scrobe; in $ the groove is almost absent. Scape inserted 

 about two-fifths from apex of rostrum, in (J slightly passing, in 

 9 scarcely reaching apex; 1st joint of funicle short, obtriangular,
