base of the thorax; joints more than twice as long as wide. Thorax one third 

 wider than long, four fifths the width of the elytra, as wide at base as at 

 apex, widest slightly before the middle ; sides broadly rounded in front, broadly 

 sinuate and oblique behind to the sub-rectangular and not rounded posterior 

 angles ; apex moderately emarginate, base distinctly, but less emarginate than 

 the apex ; side margin narrow, not expanded basally ; basal margin distinct 

 and entire ; transverse impressions indistinct, median line strong, abbreviated 

 in front; basal foveas deep, linear, broadly impressed, coarsely rugose-punctate; 

 basal third of the disk coarsely punctate, the rest with sparse, fine and rather 

 indistinct punctuation. Elytra wider than the thorax at base and two and one 

 half times as long, nearly twice as long as wide, evenly elongate-oval, apical 

 sinuation strong and abrupt ; striae deep, intervals moderately convex, impunc- 

 tate; third interval without impressed punctures. Abdomen without accessory 

 setae; indistinctly punctate between the coxae. Length, 7.5-8.75 mm.; width, 

 3-3.5 mm. 3 <£ 1 5. 



Br. Col. (Beyer.) 



This species is closely allied to H. retractus Lee. It differs by its 

 much smaller size, larger head, longer and more strongly punctured 

 basal area of the thorax with deep linear fovese, and its narrow and 

 acute mentum tooth. 



Anisodactylus depressus new species. 



Form oblong, somewhat broad, depressed. Color black, shining in both 

 sexes ; palpi and antennae rufous, legs dark rufo-piceous ; tarsi paler. Head 

 broader than long, two thirds as wide as the thorax, slightly narrower than 

 the thorax at apex ; frontal foveas punctiform, broadly impressed, slightly re- 

 moved from the clypeal suture, which is very fine ; eyes rather large but flat- 

 tened, not prominent; ligula narrow, not wider at apex and bisetose, paraglossae 

 much broader and longer, apex broadly rounded ; mentum with a short but dis- 

 tinct tooth ; antennae slender, extending beyond the base of the thorax, outer 

 joints three to four times as long as wide, three basal joints glabrous. Thorax 

 twice as wide as long (<$), slightly less ($), four fifths as wide as the elytra, 

 slightly narrower at apex than at base, widest at middle; sides broadly and 

 evenly rounded throughout ; apex very slightly emarginate, anterior angles not 

 at all prominent, broadly rounded ; posterior angles slightly obtuse, very nar- 

 rowly rounded ; side .margins rather broad, widening rapidly from the middle 

 and disappearing at basal one third in the general depression of the posterior 

 angles ; basal impressions large, shallow and indefinite, not distinctly punctate, 

 but rather strongly rugose ; anterior transverse impression strong, basal indis- 

 tinguishable median line nearly obsolete. Elytra depressed, three times as 

 long as the thorax, more than two thirds longer than wide ; sides very slightly 

 arcuate to apical third, thence strongly rounded to the apex, apical sinuation 

 distinct; striae strong, intervals broadly convex; an impressed puncture ad- 

 herent to the second stria at apical one fourth. Body beneath impunctate.
