it necessary to state that the sliort lateral striic on the head, the 

 thoracic lateral stria invisible above, and the multistriate epipleura), 

 may be considered generic characters, as all the known species possess 

 them. 



NOTOLISTER SULCICOLLIS, Sp. 11. 



Brevltcr ovalis, pariim convexus, nicjcr, nitidus ; tlwrace laterihus pro- 

 funde sulcatu ; elytris striis 1 — 3 integris, 4 — 5 apicalibtis, suturali antice 

 obsoJeta ; propycjidlo (jrosse et dense punctata ; prunterno inter striam Icevi. 



Long., 6^ mm. 



Shortly oval, soinowhat convex, black, shining; the head microscopically punc- 

 tulate, lateral striaj deep, not reaching beyond the eye, frontal area smooth but 

 uneven, impressed in the middle ; the thorax transverse, lateral sulcus broader and 

 deeper than that of X Edwardsi, Mars., and terminating abruptly at either end, 

 lateral marginal stria not visible above, but continued behind the head, where, 

 however, it slightly leaves the edge, microscopically punctured, with a small ante- 

 scutelhir impression ; the elytra stritB 1 — 3 complete, 4 — 5 apical and evanescent, 

 sutural apical almost piinctiforra on the dorsum, evanescent towards the base, pos- 

 terior margin narrowly and strigosely punctate, the strigose points merge into larger 

 round punctures, which encroach more or less on the interstices of the first, second, 

 third and fourth strise, similar punctures are also seen more or less distinctly along 

 the first and sutural strife ; the propygidium is wholly covered with large round 

 punctures ; the pygidium less closely and much less coarsely punctate ; the pro- 

 sternum, keel smooth, lateral stri« are shortened at the base, and gradually converge 

 and join anteriorly ; the mesosternum, marginal stria fine, anterior edge widely but 

 very feebly emarginate ; the legs, anterior tibice with four distinct teeth equidistant 

 fi'ora each other, and three others smaller near the base, femora smooth.

NOTOLISTEU 5-STRIATUS, Sp. n. 



Bi'cviter ovalif, parum cunvcxua, nigcr, nitidus ; thorace laterihus grosse 

 punctato ; eli/tris st)'iis 1 — 2 iiitegris, 3 ahbreviata, 4 — 5 nii/lls, suturali basi 

 abbreviata ; propygidio pygidiuque dense punctatis ; prostertio punctato. 



Long., 4 mm. 



Shortly oval, little convex above, black, shining ; the head punctulate, lateral 

 strise as in the last species, deep but not passing beyond the eye ; the thorax, lateral 

 stria not visible above at the sides, but continuing beliind the head close to the edge 

 and crenulate, edges narrowly smootli, with a broad band within the smooth margin 

 of large punctures, a few of which of lesser size extend behind the head, without 

 any lateral sulcus, scutellar impression shallow ; the elytra, stria' 1^2 complete, 

 rather wide and irregularly punctured, 3 similar to the second but only extending to 

 the middle of the dorsum, 4 — 5 wanting, sutural shortened before the base, about 

 one-third of the elytral area is punctate, punctures cover the apical portion and 

 extend towards the base along the interstices of the first, second and third striae, 

 epipleurae 5-8triate, apical margin somewhat strigose ; the propygidium and pygidium 

 densely punctate, punctures of the first, especially along the base, are larger than
