ETNALIS, nov. gen. Anthribidartiyn (^Eugonides) . 



ProtJiorax carend transversa elytrorum hasi contigud, angulis pos- 



ticis extrorsum prominuJis. 

 Rostruvi hrevissimmn. 

 Ocidi emarginati. 



Antennae longer than bead and thorax, the three last joints forming a well-marked 

 club, similar in the two sexes, except that the 11th joint is longer in the male than 

 in the female. Rostrum short and broad, shorter than the distance from the front of 

 the thorax to the front of the eyes, the antennal scrobes quite lateral and foveiform ; 

 eyes emarginate, the hind lobe larger than the anterior. Basal line of thorax con- 

 tiguous with the elytra, at the sides not directed upwards, but detached as it were, 

 and directed outwards as a stout spine. Anterior coxse contiguous, middle and pos- 

 terior moderately distant. Legs slender, basal joint of tarsi elongate, claws dis- 

 tinctly toothed. 



The transverse line of the thorax which here, instead o£ being 

 directed upwards at the sides, projects outwardly as a strong spine, 

 distinguishes this genus apparently from all known Aiithribidts. Its 

 nearest allies appear, however, to be certainly the Eugonides of 

 Lacordaire. 



Etnalis spinicollis, n. sp. 



Snh-cylindricus, squamulis vestifzis, elytris maculis duahus post- 

 scutellarihus, fascia communi lata p)Ost-mediali, maculisciue duahus 

 ante-apicalihus nigris. Long, li-lf lin. 



Mas tibiis intermediis incurvis, ahdomine segmentis ventralihus 

 4 primis suh-comjyressis, medio impressis. 



Antennse reddish, the intermediate joints darker in colour than the basal and 

 apical ones, 1st joint short and stout, 2nd oval, short, 3rd elongate and slender, 

 longer than any of the following joints, joints 4 — 8 each shorter than its jJi'edccessor, 

 the 8th notably shorter than any of the others, 9th triangular, about as long as the 

 7th, 10th quite as broad as the 9th, transverse, 11th (in the male) as long as the 9th 

 and 10th together, in the female shorter. Head rather nari'owcr than the thorax, 

 rather coarsely punctured, but the sculpture is concealed by the fine pale grey scales 

 with which it is clothed. Thorax (without the sjjines) but little broader than long, 

 rather narrower than the elytra, the lateral spines apjilied to the shoulders, and 

 scarcely extending beyond them ; it is clothed with fine hair-like scales, of a pale 

 grey, and brownish or blackish colour, a^id mottled with these colours in an irregular 

 and variable manner. Elytra nearly twice as long as the thorax, with distinct rows 

 of punctures, but clothed with pale gi'ey and with darker scales, the darker scales 

 forming a transverse band behind the middle, two spots behind and near to this, and 

 two spots near the scutellum, the band as well as the spots variable in size and dis- 

 tinctness. Under-side clothed with whitish hairs. Legs red, the femora dark in the 

 middle, and the tarsi also blackish except the basal joint.
