Avith two long bristly hairs at the angfle (one on each edge of the groove) ;

 and almost straight ; posterior femora strongly clavate ; posterior tibiae short, 

 bowed, widened on the inner side from about the middle to the apex. Length

Short, broad, shining ; ferruginous, the eyes black, joints 5-10 of the

 short, joints 1 and 2 moderately stout, 3 much longer than 2, 4 slightly shorter, 

 4-10 gradually increasing in width, 10 transverse, 11 short ovate. Prothorax 

 narrower than the head, strongly transverse, trapezoidal, bi-impressed before 

 the base. Elytra short, broad, convex, rapidly narrowed from the basal third, 

 appearing somewhat scutiform, transversely depressed below the base. Legs 

 rather long, slender ; posterior femora moderately thickened ; posterior tibiae 

 widening outwards, straight ; basal joint of posterior tarsi very slender, almost

One specimen. A short, broad, ferru^'inous, pruinose insect, with 

 sub-scutiform elytra, a trapezoidal prothorax, a large head, which is

 outer joints (the eleventh excepted) infuscate. It is much broader 

 than X. inaequipes, the antennae are stouter, the legs are more equal 

 in length, etc.

 legs (the tibiae in part of the latter excepted), and the posterior tarsi and the 

 base of the posterior tibiae, testaceous ; head and prothorax densely, minutely, 

 the elytra rather coarsely, rugosely, punctate ; thickly clothed with very fine, 

 bluish-grey, pruinose pubescence. Head rather long, greatly developed behind 

 the eyes, the latter small, prominent, distant from the base and feebly emargi-
