posterior witli two or throe spines near the tarsi. ? is without the mctasternnl 

 depression and abdominal tubercle, but it has sexual distinctions somewhat variable 

 in the pygidium. The disc of the pygidium is deeply excavated, generally in the 

 form of two loops, slightly oblique to each other, with the intermediate surface 

 irregularly rugose and punctate. On the under-side of the pygidium also in the 

 centre is a small transverse excavation. 



5.— TiiYPOK^DUs DoHEETYi, n. sp. 



Cylindricus, nixfer nitidus ; rustro trianffulato margine elevato ; j'^oiioto 

 sparse punctulato ; prosterno trwncato, punctato, ntrhiquc striato ; mesosterno 

 antice recto haud 2^i'od/icfo. Long., 4^ mm. 



$ cylindrical, black, very shining, snout triangular, elevated at the sides with a 

 median longitudinal impression, lightly and unevenly punctulate ; thorax about as 

 long as the elytra, both evenly but not thickly punctulate, triangularly sloped in 

 front, with a tubercle or little ridge behind the neck, and two lesser elevations behind 

 it at the point where the anterior slope begins, the lateral stria is complete ; elytra 

 lightly impressed round the scutcllum ; propygidiura and pygidium sparsely punc- 

 tulate, tiie latter clothed sparingly with greyish hairs ; anterior tibiro with five or 

 six strong teeth. $ . Thorax anteriorly convex, with the anterior angles sub- 

 foveolate, and the upper-surface is more distinctly punctured, especially the pygidium. 



Beneath, prosternum rather roughly not closely punctured, the keel truncate 

 before and behind, corners rectangular, striate at the sides ; mesosternum truncate 

 in front, widening out behind the anterior coxaj, marginate laterally. $ has the 

 metasternum and first ventral segment distinctly punctured, in the i these are only 

 finely punctulate.

ON TWO NEW SPECIES OF ANTHICIDM. 

 BY G. C. CIIAMPION, P.Z.S. 



TOMODEtiUS DENTICOLLIS, n. Sp. 

 Elongate, narrow, parallel, reddish-testaceous, the elytra flavo-tcstaceous, with 

 the sputellar region infuseate (perliaps owing to discoloration), the upper siu-faee 

 shining and finely pubescent. Ilcad with a few widely scattered minute punctures, 

 the eyes black and very coarsely granulated ; antenna) entirely testaceous, stout, 

 fully reaching to the middle of the elytra, the penultimate joints transverse ; pro- 

 thorax slightly broader than long, very strongly constricted at the sides behind the 

 middle, and with the usual deep transverse groove across the disc before the base, 

 the anterior portion canaliculate, and at the sides denticulate, the teeth fine but distinct, 

 the posterior one longer than the others (the lateral constrietioii, in consequence, ap- 

 pearing very abrupt and deep), the surface with minute scattered punctures ; elytra 

 long and narrow, parallel, with irregular rows of closely placed, moderately coarse, 

 punctures, which become much finer and shallower towards the apex ; legs flavo- 

 tcstaceous. Length 1^, breadth J, mm.
