is distinguished further from Bryaxis by the internall}' dentate an- 

 terior tibiae of the male. The species known to me may be thus 

 characterized : — 



Median pronotal fovea large circular and spongiose ; basal carinse of tlie abdo- 

 men very short and remote Talida 



Median fovea obsolete or very feeble, never spongiose ; abdominal cariuae less 

 distant. 

 Antennal club nearly normal in the male, the anterior trochanters not 



apically spinose COlijuilcta 



Antennal club very large compact and subcyliudrical in the male, the 

 anterior trochanters internally spinose near the apex. 

 Body as in conjuncta ; male antennal club broader, the last joint not 

 longer than the three preceding together ; tenth joint more than twice 



as wide as long breiideli 



Body as in Reichenhachia rubictmcia, but with larger elytra ; male antennal 

 club more elongate, the tenth joint one-half wider than long, the 

 eleventh as long as the four preceding, the tenth and eleventh with a 

 large common flattened impression beneath, which, on the eleventh, is 

 strongly and very coarsely asperate, on the tenth smooth luystica 



In hrendeli Horn, the flattened lower surface of the tenth antennal 

 joint in the male is not smooth, but coarsely asperate except near 

 the base. Valida differs greatly from sanguinea in having a larger 

 circular pronotal fovea. Dr. Brendel indicates two varieties of con- 

 juncta ; the first is not described and must therefore be regarded as 

 unpublished, but, on the other hand, truncaticornis appears to be 

 a valid species. 



R. mygtica n. sp. — Robust, convex, oval, black, the apical joint of the 

 antennae paler ; elytra ruby-red, blackish at base and apex ; legs pale ferru- 

 ginous throughout ; integuments polished, subimpunctate, the elytra sparsely 

 and very obsoletely punctulate ; pubescence moderate in length, coarse, sparse. 

 Head wider than long, very slightly smaller than tlie prothorax ; eyes large, 

 prominent ; fovere large, deep, just behind the middle, separated by rather 

 more than one-half the total width ; antennal prominences separated by a 

 large deep and smooth concavity, without trace of fovea ; antennse stout, one- 

 half as long as the body, second joint stouter but not longer than the third, 

 fourth smallest of all, quadrate, fifth to seventh larger, slightly modified, 

 eighth narrower, wider than long, ninth twice as wide as long, more acute 

 internally, tenth very mitch longer and wider than the ninth. Prothorax two- 

 fifths wider than long, widest before the middle, the sides convergent and 

 broadly, very feebly sinuate thence to the base ; transverse sulcus gradually 

 and feebly dilated in the middle but remaining abruptly defined; median 

 fovea completely obsolete. Eli/tra but slightly wider than long, the sides 

 feebly divergent, broadly arcuate, rounded at base for some distance to the
