 club large, almost as long as funicle. Prothorax with a longi- 

 tudinal impression feeble in the middle, much stronger towards 

 apex, causing the surface near it to appear raised, each side of 

 base with an oblique elliptic and distinct impression. Scutellum 

 transverse. Elytra wide, rather coarsely gi-anulate, separately 

 convex, 4th interstice widest. Pygidium large, without trace of 

 carina. Legs moderately long, anterior femora with a very small

This species also almost tits Mr. Pascoe's description oi/unerevs, 

 but as it was obtained in a mountainous district much farther 

 south, and both species cannot be fuvereus (which evidently 

 belongs to the group about suhsignatus, carinicollis, narinus, itc. ) 

 I have given it a name. From the specimen mentioned above as 

 possibly funereus it differs in being considerably larger, without 

 trace of pubescence on the upper surface, longer and straighter 

 scape, darker tarsi, longer claw joint, and in several other details 

 which may possibly be sexual. 



L^MOSAccus cossoNoiDES, n.sp. 



f^? Dull red; club and under surface piceous. Sparse and some- 

 what elongate yellowish pubescence on head, prothorax (a small 

 spot on each side at base and apex nude) and elytra; the latter 

 with a bare transverse space about the middle (continued towards 

 base at sides) and a spot occupying the 5th- 6th interstices near 

 apex; pygidium densely covered with whitish scales, under surface 

 rather densely (sparser in middle) covered with elongate scales or 

 short greyish-yellow pubescence; legs with short pul^escence. 



Eyes large, somewhat flat, widely separated. Rostrum rather 

 short and flat, widening to apex, densely and rather finel}^ punc- 

 tate, feebly curved. First joint of funicle large, twice as long as
