On the front portion of the prothorax the punctures are quite 

 conspicuous but towards the base they are so overhang by granules 

 that they are almost concealed from above. I know of no closely 

 allied described species. 



641. HAPLONYX MONTANUS n. sp. 



Black, scape and funicle dull reddish brown. Upper surface 

 moderately clothed with obscure blackish scales; prothorax with 

 very feeble spots and elytra with very feeble fascias of whitish 

 scales. Under surface and legs with whitish scales. 



Rostrum rather wide and feebly curved, scarcely the length of 

 prothorax; with dense and rather coarse punctures, which, towards 

 base, leave several feeble and irregular costse exposed. Prothorax 

 fully twice as wide as long, rather strongly constricted on each side 

 near apex ; with small, dense, round, and usually clearly defined 

 punctures. Elytra about one- third wider than prothorax, not much 

 longer than wide; with rows of not very large, and partially 

 concealed punctures; interstices distinctly wider than punctures 

 and with numerous granules. Femora moderately dentate, the tooth 

 of each nearer the middle than usual, each also with a feeble sup- 

 plementary tooth ; front tibiae curved but rather feebly bisinuate, 

 basal sinus the longer. Length 3 1/4-3 1/2 mill.

A small black species at first sight apparently close to ater, but 

 prothorax with distinct punctures instead of granules, and with the 

 femora bidentate. Many specimens at a glance appear to be entirely 

 destitute of clothing. The scales are all more or less setose in 

 character, even the white ones; these on the elytra of perfect 

 specimens appear to form three or four very feeble and loosely 

 formed fasciae, but they are easily abraded. The rostrum is slightly 

 shorter and stouter in the male than in the female, but the dif- 

 ferences are not so striking as in many other species. On the elytra 

 the granules are rather denser on some parts than on others, and 

 cause an appearance as of very feeble tubercles.

 of sterna sometimes blackish. Upper surface densely covered with
