970 COLEOPTERA 



thorax more rounded at the sides, and, therefore, of a different out- 

 hne, and more deeply constricted in front, so as to be more Hke that 

 of Eucossonus setiger ; hind-body more elongate ; legs and rostrum 

 longer, &c. 



Length, i^ lines ; breadth, quite J. 



Found near Mount Egniont. 



Agastegnus (p- 805). 



1751. A. femoralis, '^-s. Sub-depressed-, moderately elongate, 

 clothed with yellow hairs, those on the sides of the thorax brighter 

 and longer than those on the elytra; a little shining, ferruginous, 

 elytra suffused with brown, antennae and tarsi fulvous. 



Bostrum rather shorter than thorax, very gradually and not 

 greatly thickened, very finely and rather distantly punctured. Head 

 nearly smooth behind. Anteiince long and stout ; scape considerably 

 bent ; second joint of funiculus twice as long as third. Thorax 

 much narrowed and constricted in front, rather finely and distantly 

 punctured, obsoletely impressed longitudinally. Elytra slightly bi- 

 impressed, moderately striated but with distinct punctures, inter- 

 stices rugose, third elevated posteriorly and uniting with the external 

 one. Legs elongate, thighs a good deal inflated, so as to appear as 

 if notched at the end, third tarsal joint (anterior) moderately dilated 

 and bearing long slender hairs. 



The swollen femora and unicolorous antennae will lead to its 

 recognition. 



$ . Length, i^ lines ; breadth, nearly f . 



Discovered at Mount Egniont, 



1752. A. sericatus, "-s- Castaneo-rufous, legs infuscate, beak 

 and antennae red, club blackish ; not glossy, rather densely clothed 

 with very elongate, slender, silky, yellow hairs. 



In shape and sculpture almost exactly like A. ruficollis ; rather 

 larger, thoracic disc depressed, elytra bi-impressed, the suture and 

 third elytral interstices raised behind, wdth a slight gap between 

 their apices, posterior tibiaj armed with a short spine at inner ex- 

 tremity. The clothing and coloration are unlike, the silky hairs 

 on the wing-cases being quite as long as those on the thorax, the 

 rostrum is longer, and the antennae are decidedly longer and stouter.

Found near Howick. 



Glyphorhamphus . 



Nov. gen. 



Bostrum stout, shorter than thorax, parallel, quite perpendicular 

 in front, the summit of the declivity concave ; scrobes very broad, 

 lateral. Head rather broader than beak, broad and smooth behind 

 the eyes. Eyes moderately prominent, lateral, distinctly facetted. 

 Antennae inserted close to apex, rather long but uncommonly thick ; 

 scape flexuose, very much incrassated for half its length ; funiculus 

 5-articulate, first joint large, second nearly as long but more slender,
