 This is a very small species. The crest is strongly biden- 

 tated, and the posterior tooth is pointed backwards. The tuber- 

 cles on the thorax are small, and those on the elytra are also 

 small towards the base, but become larger towards the apex, the 

 terminal tubercle of the first row of tubercles being large. The 

 apex is sb'ghtly dehiscent, and the tubercles generally are covered 

 with long black scales.

This is a very well marked species. The tubercle which forms 

 the crest is broad, elevated, and divided towards the summit 

 into two eqnal acute spines. The tubercle on each side of the 

 apex of the rostrum is also acute. The tubercles of the thorax 

 are very sharp, particularly the one which occupies the centre of 

 the sides. The elytra also have a very spinose appearance. 



The only specimens of this insect I know are in the Museum. 

 T have named the species after Mr. Gerard Krefft, the Curator 

 of that Institution. 



30. — AcANTHOLOPnUS TRIDENTATUS. 



Oblongus subangustus niger dense cinereo-squamosus, fronte 

 excavata crista utrinque tridentata, thorace medio bifariam 

 tuberculato lateiibus bituberculato, elytiis seriatim granu- 

 latis et trifariam tuberculatis lateribus vix ampliatis.
