PSELAPHUS TUBEHCULIFRONS, n.sp. 



Sat convexus, totus rufus, antennis pedibusque dilutioribus, 

 setis aliquot brevibus, pallidis, dispersis. Caput parum elongatum, 

 sulco longitudinali lato sed parum profundo, inter oculos abrupto, 

 utrinque tuberculo acuto et in vertice medio tuberculo minuto. 

 Palpi valde elongati, graciles, articuli quarti parte pedunculata 

 basali clava minuta fere quadruplo longiori. Antennae parum 

 elongata?, articulis 3-6 latitudine sua vix et 7-8 paulo longioribus, 

 9-10 oblongis, 11 subfusiformi. Elytra parum elongata, basi 

 attenuata, humeris fere nullis, lateribus rotundatis, stria suturali 

 alteraque dorsali. Abdomen elytris subrequale. Metasternum 

 convexum inter coxas posticas declive. 9. Long. 1-70 mm. 



This species is shorter than the preceding ones; the cephalic- 

 furrow is very shallow, between the eyes are two sharp tubercles 

 and on the vertex another small one; the maxillary palpi are very 

 long and slender, with the club small ; the antenna? are com- 

 paratively short.

I have the types of the two above-named species and I cannot 

 detect the slightest difference between them. The head is rather 

 broad, with the longitudinal furrow shallow, ending between the 

 eyes, where the tubercles are replaced by two fovea?; the palpi 

 are long, the peduncle of the 4th joint is nearly twice as long as 

 the club; the antennse are short, thick and the prothorax is nearly 

 exactly hexagonal, the posterior transverse furrow is deep, 

 interrupted in the middle by a fovea which is carinate on each 

 side, the lateral fovea? are strong; the elytra are less attenuate at 

 base, with the shoulders oblique.
