250 F. r. PASCOE 



Closely .'lUied to the Chilian KnipLeunis, but the intermediate 

 tibifc are not furnished with a tooth as in that genus and the 

 allied Psepholax. Scolopachys from New Caledonia has different 

 antennae. The New Zealand Aldomis also belongs to this group. 

 Of the seven specimens of the species descril)ed below, now be- 

 fore me, no two are marked alike. 



188. M. variabilis, n. sp (Tav. 2, f 2). Angusti- oblonga, squamis pal- 

 lide grisois fusco-plagiatis varia ; rostrum fuscuni sqnaraosiun , apicem 

 versus rudo contVrtiin punctatuni ; caput inter oculos maculis duabus tu- 

 scis, squamis ininoribus tbruiatis, notatum ; antennte piceie ; prothorax 

 apice subtubulatus , maculis quatuor inconspicuis notatus ; elytra prothoraco

Kostrum modice crassum ; scrobes medianfe, laterales. Oculi grosse gra- 

 nulati, infra remoti. Antenna» normales; clava distincta. I'rothorax parvus, 

 lobo oculari ciliato. Scutellum punctitbrme. Elytra ampliata Pectus cana- 

 liculatus ; coxa», antica? approximata;. x\bdomen segni 'utis 1-3 gradatim 

 brevioribus. Femora infra dentata; tibia; breves; tarsi articulo primo lon- 

 giusculo; unguiculi liberi. 



In its pectoral canal , not extending behind the anterior 

 coxae , the rostrum therefore occupying only a part of the canal, 

 this genus agrees with Lybteba, Diethusa, Enide, etc. and to 

 tliese Erichson's genus M(danterius may be approximated. 



189. T. biguttatus, n. sp. Late ovatus, fuscus, squamis inconspicuis 

 setulisque erectis vestitus; rostrum dimidio basali rude punctato-costatum, 

 apicem versus nitide nigrum, leviter punctatum; antennae subtestaceoe , ar- 

 tieulis duobus basalibus funiculi longitudine jequalibus, sod primo multo 

 crassiore, cijctcris gradatim latioribua, clava breviter ovata, tomentosa; 

 prothorax transversus, crebre punctatns; elytra prothorace multo latiora, 

 striato-punctata, interstitiis fere planatis, subgranulatis, singulatim versus 

 apicem gutta parva conspicua albo-squamosa notata; corpus infra disperse
