iXn RllYNCHÜI'IIÜRUS LOBATUS. 



The elytra are proportionally short, wide at the shoul- 

 ders, strongly attenuated towards the end, and conjointly 

 emarginated at the base and at the apex ; they are covered 

 with exceedingly fine granules not visible without the aid 

 of a lens. Each elytron shows five longitudinal lines be- 

 tween the suture and the shoulder; the first of these lines 

 which are faintly crenulated anteriorly, does not extend 

 quite to the base, the 3rd to 5th are much more delicate, 

 but considerably wider at the base ; external to the second 

 line the base of the elytra is slightly reflexed and some- 

 what thickened. The pygidium is curved downwards (convex 

 in a transverse direction), rather remotely punctured , and 

 provided on the middle of the apical two thirds with a 

 faint longitudinal keel ; the apex is obtusely rounded. 



The pro- and mesosternum as well as the anterior fe- 

 mora are densely covered with small but distinct granules, 

 the rest of the legs is finely and very sparsely punctured. 

 The metasternum and abdomen are covered with excee- 

 iliiigly fine granules, not visible without the aid of a lens, 

 leaving however a smooth streak on the middle. The last 

 ventral segment shows on the middle of the hind margin 

 a semicircular impression which is provided with and sur- 

 rounded by a few very distinct punctures. The undersur- 

 face of the femora and tibiae is covered with a long and 

 dense ferruginous black pubescence. The tarsi are spon- 

 gious beneath.
