Type, Hadronotus adstrvm/atus, Gj'l. (AVest Africa). 



" Distinguished from the genus Siderodadylus [African] by tlie 

 total absence of shoulders to the elytra, in that joint 7 of the 

 funicle is not broader than 6, the lower margin of the scrobes is 

 directed towards the lower margin of tlie eye, and the anterior 

 coxje of tlie $ are contiguous. 



"Tarsal claws free, front tibia? much longer than the two 

 posterior pairs, the corbels of the hind tibiae open and ascending 

 the dorsal edge. Elvtra with stria 9 ceasing at some distance 

 from the elevated basal margin, but parallel with 10. Scrobes 

 dilated behind, flattened and with the upper edge reaching the 

 middle of the elongate oval eye ; an additional lateral furrow 

 above the scrobe. The scape exceeds the anterior margin of the 

 eye. Presternum with the gular margin sinuate, the anterior 

 coxae nearer to the front margin."

" Elongate, black, rather shiny, with green scaling above, and 

 greyish white with a silvery reflexion on the sides and under- 

 parts ; auteunse testaceous, except the club ; rostrum coutinuous 

 with the head but narrowed in front, plane and with a central 

 furrow which is continued on the head ; prothorax a little broader 

 than long, truncate at the base and apex, the base narrowly 

 mai'ginate, the disk with a central furrow ; scutellum very small ; 

 elytra with the base narrower than that of the prothorax, trun- 

 cate and with a raised margin, the sides rounded, roundly 

 acuminate behind, obsoletely punctato-striate, stria 10 more deeply 

 impressed at the base, the intervals plane and coriaceous, the 

 8th [9th] a little elevated at the apex ; front femora of the 5 

 thickened, the front tibiae straight, their internal edge with acute 

 granules. 



" Forehead rather convex ; rostrum flat, a little longer than its 

 width at the base, one-third narrower at the apex, with a short 

 longitudinal carina on each side of the middle, with a small 

 furrow in front of the eye and above the scrobe extending for half 

 the length of the rostrum. The funicle with joint 2 as long as 

 broad and half as long as 1, the rest globular. Thorax \^ith the 

 sides almost straight, slightly constricted near the anterior margin, 

 so that this appears only a little narrower than the base; the 

 central furrow extends from the base of the thorax to the apex of 

 the rostrum, and is only interrupted for a short distance at the 

 anterior margin of the thorax. Elytra broadest in the middle and
