 ticie apice arcuatae ; tarsi breves ; iinguiculi liberi. Metasternum breve. Ab-

The specimen before me , as is the case with many others 

 in the collection , has been gummed down to paper so that the 

 corbels of the posterior tibiae are only imperfectly seen, but 

 they appear to be open. 1 think tlie genus may be placed near 

 Celeutheles which has also the anterior coxa^ not contiguous, 

 and the corbels only slightly cavernous.

Owing to the absence of scales, on the back, except at the 

 margins , this species has quite a different aspect from the dense 

 grey clothing of scales of the preceding ; nor are the elytra cornu- 

 ted. The male? is smaller and the elytra are not so broad behmd.
