8o8 COLEOPTERA 



Suodontus. 



Nov. gen. 



Rostrum rather elongate, a little arched, parallel, slightly dilated 

 at the apex ; scrobes liuear, extending from near the apex to the 

 lower part of the eyes. Antennce. elongate, implanted near the 

 apex ; scape long, slender, and somewhat incrassated at the ex- 

 tremity ; funiculus 7-articulate, basal joint large, obconical, joints 

 2-7 decrease in length, the last broadest, quite transverse, second 

 longer than third ; club large, ovate, obsoletely articulated. Head 

 globuliform, immersed. Eyes large, slightly prominent, distinctly 

 facetted, rounded below, truncated inwardl3^ Prothorax transversal, 

 base and apex truncate, sides rounded. Scutellum distinct, triangu- 

 lar. Elytra oblong-oval, but slightly curved laterally. Legs robust, 

 four anterior femora clavPute, deeply notched at the extremity, so as 

 to be sharply angulated beyond the middle, the posterior somewhat 

 similarly formed, but quite dentate below ; tibcB stout, flexuous, 

 mucronated but not visibly hooked at the extremity ; tarsi rather 

 broad, penultimate joint expanded and bilobed. Body rather broad; 

 but little convex, pubescent. 



Intermediate between PogonorJiinus and Arecophaga, the rostrum 

 like that of the latter, but not ciliated as in the former. 



1434- E. punctithorax, n.s. Sub-oblong, slightly convex, 

 not very glossy, bearing fine griseous hairs ; fusco-castaneous, legs 

 and antennae more or less rufescent. 



Rostrum not twice the length of the thorax, cylindrical, almost 

 bi-sulcate. Prothorax broader than long, nearly flat above, rounded 

 laterally, narrower in front than behind ; its punctation neither close 

 nor deep, the intervals between the punctures densely and minutely 

 sculptured. Elytra broader than and twice as long as the thorax, 

 slightly incurved at the base, the sides but little rounded, apices not 

 expanded, striate - punctate, interstices nearly plane, closely but 

 minutely punctated, not elevated nor abbreviated apically. Legs 

 and tarsi pilose. Antennce long, scape nude, funicle hairy ; club 

 shorter than funiculus, sub-opaque, densely pubescent. Meta- 

 sternum moderate. 



Length (rost. inch), 2 lines ; breadth, f . 



A distorted specimen was communicated, along with a few other 

 well-known beetles, by Mr. J. Adams, Headmaster of the Thames 

 High School.

Didymocantha (p- 56S). 



1435. D. clavipes^ i^-s. Elongate, sub-depressed, moderately 



shining, rufo-castaneous, femora dilute, tarsi and antennae rufescent. 



Head punctate in front, the occiput with short smooth raised 



lines, the intervals densely and minutely sculptured, its yellow 



pubescence thickest near the eyes. Prothorax as long as broad, 



slightly convex, obtusely rounded latera,lly, narrowest in front, base
