20G Mr. Wollaston's Diagnostic Characters of 



brought to liglit so TUiuiy interesting facts. Although 

 abundantly distinct specifically, it is closely allied to the 

 B. imncticollis, Woll., from Mexico (and still nearer to the 

 Cossonus crenatus, of Horn) : but it is considerably larger 

 and more coarsely sculptured, its eyes are less prominent, 

 its frontal fovea is very much smaller, its scutellum is pro- 

 portionately larger, its elytral interstices are more con- 

 spicuously (though minutely) punctulated, and its antenna? 

 and feet are of a much paler hue, — being rufo, or piceo- 

 ferrutjinous.

The single examjile from which the above diagnosis is 

 compiled has been forwarded to me by Mi-. Janson as 

 coming from Malacca ; and it is veiy closely allied to the 

 Euturnusferrugiiicus, so widely si)read over the islands of 

 the Malayan arcliipelago, from which it appears mainly to
