This species may at once be distinguished from T. rotundatum by 

 its rather shorter and broader form, and by the almost entire absence 

 o£ stria; on the elytra. 



The following species somewhat resembles Epilissus, but I think 

 is better associated with Temnoplectron. 



Temnoplecteon paetulum, sp. nov. 



Elongatum, sub-ovatum, piceum, nitidum. Capite magno, leviter conrexo, mh- 

 rotundato, subtilissime et crehre punctulato ; margine antico depresso, in medio

 tata, longitudine duplo latiori, sat convexo, antice angustato, margine antico leviter 

 emarginato, postico rotundato, lateribus ad angulos anticos subito oblique angustatis ; 

 angulis anticis rectis, posticis obtusis. Elgtris sat convexis, Icevibus, longitudine non 

 brevioribus ; infra humeros latioribus, deln ad apicem arcuatim angustatis ; singulis 

 tenuissime septem-striatis. Tibiis compressis, arcuatis ; tarsis compressis. Anten'
