The upper suri'ace of the thorax, .sciiteUvim and elytra is clotlied 

 Avith a dull iilm, somewhat of the nature of that which clothes 

 the species of Lixxs, and to which the term farfurosus is usually 

 applied. 



Hah. N. China (J. C. Bowriug-, Esq.). 



HOMa:oGEXus, n. g-eu. 



Apical joint of the maxillary palpi elongate, subparallel, 

 flattened towards the apex, which is truncate or very slightly 

 arcuate. The apical joint of the labial palpi is rather longer 

 than broad, obliquly arcuate at the apex. Prosternum produced 

 between the coxse, very acute at the apex. Mesosternum sloping 

 down, almost hollowed out between the coxa;. Tarsi slender, 

 the fourth joint much smaller than the preceding joint. Second 

 and third segments of the abdomen very slightly sinuous at the 

 sides. 



Very close to Schiitostet/ius, from which I have separated it, 

 on account of the apex of the apical joint of the maxillary 

 palpi Ijeing arcuate instead of emarginate ; the mesosternum is 

 sloping and the foiu'th joint of the tarsi very small. The 

 specimen is possibly a female. 



Honid'ogenns punctatum,, n. sp. 



Nigrum, couvexum, nitidum, subtillissime pilosvnn ; anten- 

 uarum basi, femoribusque plus minusve flavo-testaceis, tlun-acc 

 elytrisque sat fortiter punctatis. Long. 1-i- lin. 



General form of Eiihria pahtf>tris: the antenna^ nearly the 

 same, but with the joints a little more elongate; the two basal 

 joints pale. Thorax as in that species, but strongly and rather 

 thickly punctui-ed, less thickly on the disc ; there is an im- 

 pression on each side of the middle of the base, and the anterior 

 angles, which are yellow, are also impressed above; the posterior 

 angles are more rounded than in E. palustris ; all tlie basal 

 margin has the same fine crenulate appearance as in Schino- 

 stethns, but not so distinctly visible. Scutellum subequilateral, 

 }noderately thickly punctured. Elytra strongly and thickly 

 punctured. Anterior border of the prosternum, the coxa; and 

 femora pale yellow ; the ])osterior femora dusky yellow ; tarsi 

 fuscous.
