past the median part ; these striae are faintly punctulate, and on the 

 sides are very faint traces of a fine Hne nearly entire.

Tachys nigrolimbatus, n. sp. 



Niger, nitidus, antennae nigrae articulis quatuor basalibus 

 subflavescentibus ; prothorax sub-latus, lateribus, antice modice 

 rotundato ampliatis, postice baud sinuatis ; elytra flavo testacea, 

 sublate nigro limbata, basi plaga arcuata juxta scutellari, communi, 

 nigra ornata, utrinque tenuiter quadristriata, striis tenuibus baud 

 punctatis, exterioribus duabus ccBteris brevioribus ; pedes flavo- 

 testacei. 



Head and prothorax black, shiny, elytra light testaceous with a 

 marginal and basal dark infuscate border, antennge fuscous with the 

 four basal joints flavescent, legs sub-fiavescent with the femora 

 slightly infuscate ; head impunctate, sulci slightly elongate ovate, 

 not very deep ; prothorax impunctate, one-third broader than long, 

 moderately ampliate rounded laterally near the anterior part, very 

 slightly attenuate thence and not sinuate above the outer basal 

 angle which is only moderately acuminate and not reflexed ; elytra 

 oblong, very little wider at the base than the broader part of the 

 prothorax and having on each side, in addition to the juxta-sutural, 

 three more striae beginning at some distance from the base, in a line 

 with the anterior puncture ; the first of these three lines reaches 

 behind as far as the arcuate sulcus, the second is slightly shorter, 

 the fourth stops at about the median part ; these striae are very 

 shallow, not punctulate ; the supra-marginal sinuate sulcus of the 

 posterior part merges with the margin, and is therefore hardly 

 distinct. 



Length 2 mm. ; width 1 mm.

Tachys vicarius, n, sp. 



Eufo ferrugineus, capite prothoraceque dilutioribus, antennae 

 elongatae, graciles, sub-stramineae, articulis intermediis nonnihil 

 obscurioribus ; prothorax levis, longitudine fere duplo latior, lateribus 

 antice magis ampliatis, postice modice sinuatis angulo postico acuto, 

 reflexo ; elytra oblonga, utrinque quinquies punctate striata, striis 

 2-4 partem declivam corporis attingentibus, exteriore breviore 

 levioreque ; pedes pallido-flavi.
