CffiNOCHILUS. 211 



strongly sinuated behind them and tapered slightly to the ex- 

 tremities ; they are lightly punctured in front and each has 

 three broad longitudinal sulci (the innermost divided in front) 

 which, as well as the posterior part of the outer margins and the 

 apices, are finely rugose ; the remaining parts of the elytra are 

 very smooth and shining. The pygidium is feebly rugose and 

 setose, with the apical part rather abruptly inturned and carinate 

 longitudinally, and with a slight impression just before the carina. 

 The front tihice are strongly bidentate and the upper tooth is acute. 

 The four posterior tihice have each a sharp tooth beyond the middle 

 of the outer edge. The middle of the abdomen is smooth and the 

 sides slightly rugose and setose. 



The unique type specimen, presented to the British Museum by 

 Mr. H. Maxwell Lefroy, is a female.

Ccenocliilus pygidialis, Janson,* Irans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1901, 

 p. 185. 



Black, rather closely and uniformly clothed with reddish setae 

 beneath, and closely sculptured and not shining above. The body 

 is of rather compact form, but the legs are moderately long. The 

 clypeus is very deeply and coarsely rugose, and broad and gently 

 emarginate in front. The eyes are large and prominent. The 

 pronotum is strongly and closely punctured, very convex and sub- 

 circular, and a little attenuated in front. There is a lightly impressed 

 longitudinal groove and the base is almost straight in the middle, 

 with a marginal groove which is enlarged on each side. The 

 scutellum and elytra are everywhere finely rugose and the latter 

 have each three broad longitudinal furrows. The pygidium is very 

 prominent, with a strong nearly sti'aight transverse carina in the 

 middle ; the surface above the carina is nearly flat and finely 

 rugose, and that below it convex, shining, sparingly punctured 

 and lightly carinate longitudinally. The front tibia is mode- 

 rately stout and ends in two very bluntly rounded teeth placed 

 close together. The terminal spii-acles are only very feebly 

 elevated. 



The unique type is a female, and the peculiar form of the 

 pygidium is probably characteristic of that sex. 



Length 17 mm. ; breadth 7 mm.
