Type, Tcdauriniis dumoaus Mad. 



Kostnim a lioocl deal narrower than head, .siiort, in the same 

 plane above with head; with a median, impressed line, bifurcate at 

 base. Scrobes open posteriorly, with a marked uroove extending 

 downwards and backwards to eye. Head plane in front, strongly 

 rounded on sides, also from behind eyes to l)ase of rostrum. Eyes 

 rather large, ovate, set low down in head. Scape of moderate 

 length. Prothorax transverse, granulate. Klytra short, o\ate, 

 granulate or tuberculate. 



The dift'erence in the relation to eacli otiier, of the head mikI 

 rostrum, at once differentiates tliis genus from Xotottoplies, to 

 wliich its species have been referrecL In XotonopJies, the external 

 borders of the rostrum run backwards and outwards abo\e I lie 

 eyes; whereas in Pseudo}wtou()i)lies, these borders end on the front 

 of the head, and very far from the eyes, which are also situated at 

 a lower level on the side of the head. 



To these genus, I would refer Tcdauriinia dumosus Mac!., and T. 

 lemmiis Pasc, placing T. pup(( Pasc., as a probable variety of P. 

 dumusus. The species may be conveniently separated: — 



1. Head with distinct though small granules. 



A. Elytra granulate. 



(i.) Prothoracic granules closely set P. dumosus 'SldiiA. 



(ii.) Prothoracic granules fewer, and more widely separated.../', pupa. 



B. Elytra without any trace of granules P. Gilesi, n.sp. or var. 



2. Head with granules obsolete P. Icmmus Pasc.

 commencement of declivity; setfE reddish-yellow. 



Head and rostrum as in genus. Head witli scattered, umbilicate 

 granules; forehead with a \'-shaped depression continuous with the 

 median rostral groove. Prothorax (2 x 2 nun.) rounded on sides,
