tres, par sa forme dei)iimee, son coiselet conicjue. ses elylres 

 largement arrondies sur les cotes et tres peu prolongees en 

 üYviive. 



Les deux especes suivautes me i^ont inconnues: 



8. Elytmrus serndatus Waterh. Trans. Eut. Soe. Lond. 1877, 



11. — Long. 14 mm. — Elongatus, pariim convexns, 



antice posticeqiie angustatus. squamulis paivis sabulo- 



sls et giiseo-aeneis tectus, granulosus; elvtris lateribus 



subcaiinatis, serrulatis, apicibus paium divaiieatis. 



Rostrum \vi(li a broad central longiludinal sballow im- 



pression. Tborax scarcely one-lifth broader than long, gentlv 



convex, modeiatel}' c]<»sely covered wi(b sbining granules, 



a little more narrowed in front tban bebind, tbe sides gently 



lounded. Elytra not wider than tbe tborax at their base, 



tbree and <jne-tbird times longer, sligblly arcbed, gradually 



widened to tbe middle and tbence narrowed again to tbe apex, 



tbe apiees somewhat acute and sligbtlj diverging. Tbe wbole 



surface moderately tbickly covered witb very small sbining 



granules, which have a tendency (o form rows, and wbicb 



placed on Ibe lateial carina give it a sligblly senated appea- 



i'ance. The antennae aie unusually long and slender, tbe 



2'"^ Joint of tbe funiculus is twice as long as the Ist. The 



scales which clotbe tbe surface are sandy-coloured, except on 



tbe dorsal regiou of the elytra, wbere they are greyish- 



aeneous, — Vati. 



(E. caudato Pasc, valde proximus videtur, sed antenna- 

 rum structura rostroque impresso, band caiinulato certe differt.) 



9. Elytrurus divaricatus Waterh. Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1877, 



10. — Long. 12 mm. — Elongato-ellipticus, niger, 



squamulis sabuloiis dense tectus; lostro obsolete tri- 



carinato; thorace tuberculis nitidis adspersis; elytiis 



vix convexis, ante medium lotundato-ampliatis, apicem 



versus angustatis, apicibus acuminatis-divaricatis, su- 



pra striato-puuctatis, punetis squamiferis, interstitiis 



tubeiculis parvis vix perspicuis parce adspersis. 



Rostrum witb a cential, longitudinal carina, and on eacb 



side of it a less distinct , oblique, sligbtly interiupted ridge. 



Antennae witb the 2nd Joint of the funiculus about one-third 



longcr than tbe Ist. Thorax scarcely broader than long, genlly 



((tnvex. wilb not very small, sbining iuberclcs sparingly scaf- 



Icrcd ovev ibe surface; a liltle nonowed in front, the sides 



^h■glllly arcuate. sul>}>arallel bebind tiic middle. Elytra not luoa-
