DESCEIPTION OF A NEW SPECIES OP IICTEMNORRIUNUS FROM 

 KEEGUELEN LAND. 



BY CHAS. O. WATERHOUSE. 

 ECTEMK0EEHI>'US EaTOKI, Sp. n. 



Pyriformis, convexiusculus, niger, parce brevissime viridi-griseo- 

 pubescens ; capite rostroque longitiidinaliter fortiter impressis, hocbrevi, 

 apicem versus Jiaud angustato, antennis nigris ; tliorace capite paido 

 latiori, longitudine vix latiori, antice post Iceque angustato, subtil issime 

 coriaceo, subopaco, dorsim medio longitudinal iter carinato, postice utrinque 

 obsolete tuheroso; elytris ad hasim tliorace paid o latioribus, postice bene am- 

 pliatis, dorsim depressiiisculis, distincte striatis,striis lateralibus obsolete 

 punctatis, interstitiis planis, fransversim subtilissime strigosis ; ptdihus 

 longis, femoribus basi piiceis, medio injlatis, tibiis intermedus paulo 

 curvatis. Long. 2f lin., lat. Ito lin. 



This species is most nearly allied to E. hrevis, C. Waterh., but is 

 much less shoi^t, and has the shoulders of the elytra effaced. The thorax 

 is distinctly carinate above, the forehead and rostrum are deeply and 

 broadly impressed, the antennae are rather slender ; the apex of each 

 elytron is broadly and bluntly rounded, and rather expanded on the 

 outer side ( ? ?); the femora are somewhat strongly inflated in the 

 middle, the tarsi are rather narrower than in the other species of the 

 genus, and the claw joint is very long.
