sheep's face. Anteunse % louger than head and prothorax, joint 1 as long as 3, 

 and more than twice as long as 2, triangular, the face angle thornshaped and 

 pendant; 2, transverse just visibly broader than long; 3, little thicker than 2; 

 4-8, obconical gradually smaller; 8, quadrate; 9, transverse, truncate at base, 

 obconical ; 10. larger globose, as thick as the lltli, which is conical as long as the 

 two preceding together, obliquely pointed. In 9 the frontal margin is inter- 

 rui)ted in the middle continuous with the clypeal surface, which is roundly mar- 

 gined anteriorly and the 1st antennal joint convex below ; 3, strongly obconical, 

 longer than wide, longer than the 2d or 4th; 10, not as thick as the last joint, 

 which is two and one-half times longer, rounded at base, jointed at tip. 



Prothorax as long as wide, median sulcus deep, ending abruptly one-fourth 

 from the neck, which is carinate. Discal crests sharp, interrupted before the 

 small, sharp-pointed tubercles, which are nearer to the base than usual. Lateral 

 sulcus entire, separating the smooth lateral margin, which is nearly horizontal 

 about the arcuate lateral angle where it is broadest, narrowing and declining 

 backward to the lateral shallow fovea. The discal space between the crests and 

 the lateral sulcus is uneven with shallow longitudinal impressions. Between the 

 median basal fovea, through which the median sulcus is prolonged to the base 

 each side and the tubercles, is another longitudinally compressed tooth, prolonged 

 anteriorly into a very short second crest. Elytra not punctured, shoulders high, 

 with a very small spine, dorsal lines faint, very short, basal punctures indistinct, 

 sutural stria not dilated, the sutural impressed lines parallel. Abdomen very 

 convex, the basal depression between the short and prominent carina narrower 

 than the lateral depressions; last ventral in % impressed at the base and the 

 penultimate impressed transversely at the tip ; in 9 last ventral longitudinally 

 rugose at the sides. Legs moderately long, tibise slightly curvate, the posterior 

 one with a thin process. Length 2. inm. 



Hryaxis caiiadeusis n. sp. — Piceous-brown or piceous black, pubescence 

 moderately long, recumbent. Elytra sanguineous. Abdomen black. Legs and 

 aiitennffi ferruginous. Head as long as wide, the eyes excluded, punctured, more 

 strongly at the sides behind the geiise, the latter convergent, little longer than 

 the eyes, feebly arcuate ; fovese large, equal in size, the posterior ones mutually 

 three times as distant as either from the eye ; antennal tubercles prominent, with 

 a few coarse punctures; frontal margin convex, the space between the antennal 

 tubercles concave, bearing the frontal fovea, and here more conspicuously pubes- 

 cent; eyes coarsely facetted, for their own length distant from the frontal mar- 

 gin. Antennaj from the first to the eighth joint subcylindrical, decreasing 

 gradually in length and thickness, except the fifth, which is a little longer than 

 its neighbors; the eighth smallest, quadrate. Prothorax brown, uniformly very 

 conspicuously and deeply punctured, one-third broader than long, widest in the 

 middle, where it is strongly arcuate, from there to the anterior and basal margin 

 straight; anterior margin one-half the length of the base; middle fovea nude, 

 about double as large as the discal punctures; lateral fovea large, fully visible 

 from above and situated with the anterior margin just behind the middle; the 

 base is garnitured with oblong punctures. Elytra across the shoulders as broad 

 as the prothorax, sides arcuate, diverging, suture one and one-half times as long 

 as the prothorax and three-fourths as long as the width across the tip ; disk 

 strongly punctured, all the impressed lines entire, the sutural ones arcuate near 

 the tip and finely punctured, the discal lines convergent toward the tip; basal 

 fovese three, large, the sutural one farther from the base than the middle one.
