254 Eustace W. Fcryusoii: 



Closely allied to T. cosfipefm/s, and with similar minutely granu- 

 late prothorax, Ijut with different elytral foveae. These are 

 arranged as in T. cost i pennies, in two double rows and one single- 

 row, the second and fourth interstices, but not the sixth, being 

 absent. In the rugifer group all these three interstices are absent, 

 and there are in consequence three double row's of foveae, the lateral 

 boundary being formed by the seventh interstice and not by th& 

 -sixth, as in cnri/Kifiis and co'^f ipc/uiis. The foveae approach some- 

 wliat to the JiicricoUls type, l)ut are not so large nor so clearly 

 defined as in that species; in tlie median striae they are subquad- 

 rate, and while well defined above and below, are less definitely 

 separated laterally from the adjacent foveae in the same stria; in 

 the more lateral rows and posteriorly they are smaller and less 

 defined. I am indeljted to Mr. J. Dixon for my specimens of this 

 interesting species. So far as I have seen the costate group does 

 not extend farther to the west than the habitat of this species. 



SCLKKOKIXUS AJlYCTEnOIDE.S, n. sp. 



3 Elongate ovate, moderately robust. Black, subopaque. rather 

 densely clotlied with minute dull golden squamose scales, lower 

 margins with white scales, with strong black median ventral vitta ; 

 setae black. 



Head continued into rostrum in same plane above, foi-ehead 

 bounded on either side by the continuation back of the external 

 rostral ridges, feebly convex in middle, moderately strongly im- 

 pressed on either side of convexity, these impressions continuous 

 with basal sulci of rostrum. Rostrum short, external ridges sub- 

 parallel, plane in profile, continued into forehead, the point of 

 junction marked l)y a feeble constriction; median area feebly 

 carinate, lateral sidci shallow, only marked, foveiform, at base. 

 Scrobes deep, en<ling distant to eye. Eyes oval. Prothorax 

 (4x5 nun.) rather strongly Hiiqiliate, apical margin feel)ly trisinu- 

 ate, ocular lobes niodei-ately marked, subapical impression most 

 marked near sides, median and sul)lateral lines not impressed, but 

 with ratliei' fewer tubei'cles; disc witli moderately large, rounded 

 tubercles, not closely set. exce})t at hiteral margins; sides with 

 tuljercles obsolescent, not extending to coxae. Elytia (Id x (> mm.)-

 i-ectangulai-, l>as(( gently ai-cuiite. luinieri not indduced. with out-
