An anonialuus genus of Ithypoi'inse like Odadius, Orubilis, 

 Netlarliinus etc , hut with the facies of Pyropus. 



r.i2. E. futvicornis, n. sp. Late ovata, convexa, nitido nigra; rostrum 

 dimidio basali fortittn- (|uadri-snlcatimi ; antennae fulva?; protborax valdo 

 transversus, juiticc subit«i rotundatus, sparse punctatus; elytra protborace 

 paulo latiora, ad apieem attenuata, seriatim subtiliter punctata; femora 

 punctata; tarsi articulo ultimo flavo. Long. .'5 nun.

SOPHRORHININ/E. 



Oysti'opieus. 



Rostrum tenue, modice elongatum, e capite discretum; scrobes ante- 

 medianae, infra rostrum currentes. Antenna modice elongatae, clava di- 

 stincta. Oculi grosse granulati. Protborax transversus, apice productus, 

 lobis ocularibus prominulis Scutelluni parvum. Elytra protborace latiora, 

 modice convexa. Pedes breves; femora crassa, infi*a dentata; tibia3 breves, 

 compressae, extus arcuatre, unco armatae ; tarsi breves; unguiculi liberi. 

 Rima pectoralis ad metasternum protensa. Abdomen segmentis duobus ba- 

 salibus ampliatis. 



The pectoral canal extending to the metasternum is the cha- 

 racter of a small group ( « Sophrorhinides » ) forming part of 

 the large «Tribù Cryptorhynchides » of L-icordaire, which for 

 convenience may be adopted as distinct from « Cryptorhynchides 

 vrais » . The other two groups, or « sous-tribus » , of the « tribus » 

 Ithyporides and Camptorhinides may bo ti-cated in the same way. 

 Between this and the other genera of the group there is little 

 affinity , the pectoral canal not being correlated with other cha- 

 racters. The species described is not unlike Berosicus persona, 

 in which the canal terminates anterior to the intermediate coxae. 



19.'i D. squalidus, n. sp. Ellipticus, scjuamis plurimis erectis sordide 

 griseis aliis fuscis, variegatus; rostrum basi parce squamosum et punctatum, 

 ultra medium impunctatum; antennae fulvo-ferruginea?: ftmlculus brevis, 

 articulo secundo qtiaui primo triplo longiore, caeteris gradatim l)r(!vioribus;

 datis , in medio maculis oblongis dual)us nigris squamis erectis forniatis, 

 notatus; scutidlum glabrum, rotundatum; elytra seriatim punctata, punctis 

 majuBCulis; corpus infra pedesque sat dense griseo-squamosi. Long. 7-8 mm.
