neiv Coleo2")tera fron Madagascar. 295 



tlie internal apical angle of the sixth to tenth joints rather pro- 

 duced ; thorax as broad as long, constricted in front, Avith a 

 moderately prominent tubercle on each side, a little before the 

 middle, disc with a round swelling on each side near the base ; 

 elytra 9 ^^ot much narrowed towards the apex, gently convex. 



The specimen on which I found this genus has been in the 

 British Museum for some years, but was not described on 

 account of the difficulty of determining its position. I feel sure, 

 however, that the place that I assigned to it near Toxofus is the 

 correct one. The very short muzzle is foreign to this group, 

 but the insertion of the antennae outside the emargination of the 

 eye accords better Avith the Toxotincc than elsewhere. The 

 granulation of the eyes is much less fine than in the true 

 Toxotus, agi'eeing, hoAvever, in this respect Avith the Californiau 

 Toxotus cervinns, Walker (AA^hich is said to be a synonym of 

 T. spurcus, Lee). The head having a thick neck Avith parallel 

 sides is uncommon in this group, but something similar is seen 

 in Mastododera.

Closely allied to Eumimctcs, but Avith the prosternum betAveen 

 the coxa? A-ery broad, gently concaA^e anteriorly, the upper part 

 slightly leaning over posteriorly. Mesosternum very broad,

 much shorter than the preceding and more slender, the sixth to 

 eleventh gradually diminishing in length, compressed, fringed
