ampliate rounded laterally past the median part, marginate, broadly 

 rounded at the basal angles, the base has two very narrow, trans- 

 verse marginal impressions, the disk has no traces of a median 

 impressed line, and the surface is covered with round, deep 

 punctures separated by a smooth interval nearly equal to their 

 diameter, in front, however, the interval is nai'rower, and the sides of 

 the anterior part are reticulate in the female, but not distinctly so 

 in the male ; scutellum sparsely punctulate on the sides ; elytra 

 elongated, broader than the prothorax, and having each six fine 

 striae, the four inner of which are more conspicuous than the other 

 two, and the three first intervals are plainly raised and sub-tectiform 

 behind, these striae begin at some distance from the base which is 

 deeply but not closely punctate, each raised interval bears a series 

 of somewhat remote punctures, and the sides are also punctate : 

 pygidium finely aciculate, plicate transversely, convex at apex ; 

 abdomen very closely punctate, the punctures asperous, and each 

 bears a hair ; pectus with the same sculptui'e but more densely 

 pubescent; legs simple in both sexes. 



Although I have not seen Westwood's type of C. turbatus, I am 

 satisfied from his figure and description that C. braunsi, Wasm., the 

 co-type of which was communicated to me by Dr. H. Brauns, is the 

 same species. 



The shape of the genital armature of the male differs considerably 

 from that of the other species of Canochilus known to me.

Black, somewhat dull, head, prothorax, and elytra with a short, 

 sub-squamiform, greyish pubescence denser on the head and prothorax 

 ilian on the elytra; under side clothed with a greyish flavescent 

 pubescence very dense and very long on the pectus; antennal 

 club dark cbestnut-brown ; clypeus with a long, but not deep 

 emargi nation, the surface of both clypeus and head is scabrose, and 

 plicate transversely, the sides of the clypeus are sub-angular, and the 

 occipital keel is not very conspicuous ; prothorax ampliate rounded 

 laterally in the posterior part the angles of which are broadly
