equidistant from side and suture; an obscure narrow fascia about 

 the middle, almost obsolete towards the sides, oblique towards the 

 suture; undersurface reddish-brown, with obscure piceous blotches. 

 Above densely clothed with rather long pubescence, a little paler 

 than the derm on which it rests, densest on elytra; sides of 

 sterna pubescent as prothorax; abdominal segments densely 

 clothed with moderately short pubescence. Above very densely 

 and minutely punctate; on prothorax the punctures almost con- 

 cealed by pubescence; sterna densely and minutel}^, the abdominal 

 segments very minutely punctate. 



Head about as long as wide; eyes rather large, not very promin- 

 ent; antennae short, not reaching anterior coxse. Prothorax 

 very feebly transverse, a little the widest about its middle, where 

 it is fully as wide as head, truncate at base and apex; base feebly 

 margined, an oblique impression from each side of the base. 

 Elytra about two and a half times as long as head and prothorax 

 combined, at the base about once and a third the width of 

 base of prothorax, shoulders rounded, sides widening to beyond 

 the middle. Legs rather short, not very thick. Length 34, 

 width l^^mm.

Trichosalpixgus pallipes, n.sp: 



Depressed, derm shining. Testaceous, elytra not much paler 

 than head and prothorax, legs and antennae decidedly joaler than 

 elytra; prothorax with an obscure brownish blotch at the extreme 

 sides; elytra with a moderately large blotch about the middle, 

 moderately sharply defined at its anterior edge, much less so at 

 the posterior; undersurface a little darker than head, without 

 blotches. Above covered with very short pale pubescence, 

 moderately dense on elytra; undersurface extremely minutely 

 pubescent. Above very densely and minutely punctate, punctures 

 most noticeable at base of elytra, becoming feebler towards apex; 

 undersurface very minutely punctate, punctures most visible on 

 pro-, meso- and sides of metasternum.
