518 H. S. GORHAM 



Head with the epistome well marked by a curved line , and 

 rather depressed , obsoletely punctured , less shining than the 

 crown which is smooth. Antennae stout, intermediate joints fusi- 

 form, the second only a little shorter than the fourth or fifth , 

 and the third twice as long as the fourth ; club short and broad, 

 its first joint as broad as the two terminal ones. Thorax trans- 

 verse, almost glabrous, very minutely punctured, basal sulci 

 short , but continued as an indistinct smooth channel nearly 

 across the disk, transverse basal line entire, but fine, sides si- 

 nuous, a little thickened ; front angles, acute, prominent , a little 

 contracted, hind angles almost right-angles. 



Elytra wider than the thorax, shoulders tumid, margined but 

 narrowly, suturai stria obsolete , faintly subviolaceous, distinctly 

 and deeply and very evenly j)unctured. The first spot is round 

 just below the callus, equally distant from the suture and the 

 margin ; the second is larger , near the apex , and is a little 

 transverse. The elytra are strongly convex , and when viewed 

 laterally the convexity is nearer to the base than the apex 

 so that they are gibbous. The abdomen is punctured the broad 

 intercoxal plate having very distinct and scattered punctures 

 between the hind coxae, while its apical half is much more 

 closely and finely punctured. The mesosternum has its apical 

 side rather deeply emarginate to receive a prominence of the 

 metasternum, and the apex of the prosternum is bimucronate. 

 The femora are strongly davate, sparsely punctured , the tibiae 

 are thickly punctured. 



3. Eneymon iiiinia,eula,tus, Montboczieu. 



The species of Eneymon allied to this are very much confused, 

 owing to the brevity and inconclusiveness of the descriptions 

 given by the various authors , who have recorded them , but 

 who have failed to notice the characters which alone seem to 

 me to be of specific value. There is a very fine series of speci- 

 mens in the collection sent to me by Doct. Gestro collected by 

 Doct. 0. Beccari and Mr. L. M. D'Albertis in New Guinea, I
