irregularly transversely striated. Pro- meso- and base of ineta- 

 l)leurtB smooth ; the rest of metapleurge closely, finel.y obliquely 

 striated, the top and bottom more strongly than the middle at the 

 base. Pleural sutures irregularly striated ; there is a round fovea 

 behind the middle of the mesopleurae ; propleural depression 

 wide and deep ; it is finely obliquely, but not closely, striated- 

 Radial cellule elongated, as in T. confratum, Kohl. Malar space 

 absent. From the angle of the frontal area where it commences^ 

 to narrow, a not very distinct keel runs to the eyes ; the apex of 

 the clypeus is depressed and bordered behind by a fin^ furrow : 

 cubitus at its junction with the transverse cubital nervure broadly 

 rounded, not acute as in T. confratum. Comes near to T. stroudiy.

BETHYLID^. 



Tanynotus, gen. nov. 



Antenna; abotit -lO-jointed, issuing from the front of the heady 

 where they are widely separated and cover the mouth. Head 

 flattened, longer than broad, the occiput roundly incised ; the eyes 

 large, reaching near to the edge of the occiput, and in front, to 

 near the base of the apical third of the head ; there are no ocelli. 

 Thoi-ax flattened above ; the prothorax nearly as long as the rest 

 anited ; it is of equal width throughout ; mesothorax small, wider 

 than long ; the metathorax nearly three times the length of the 

 meso-, it is roundly narrowed behind. Abdomen shorter than 

 the thorax, and broader than it ; flat. Fore femora largely dilated, 

 as long as the prothoraX, ovate, broadest at the base : the tibia? 

 are similarly dilated, broadest at the base ; the middle femora are 

 not much dilated ; the hinder flat, roundly dilated above ; the tarsi 

 are longer than the tibse. 



Belongs, except as regards the large number of joints in the 

 antenna?, to the Bethylinm. I am not certain about the exact 

 number of joints, owing to the difficulty of counting them exactl5% 

 The parapsidal furrows are absent. The form of the mandibles I 

 am unable to describe, owing to their being hid by the projecting 

 front of the head. In the known apterous genera of Bethylina'
