156 Rev. H. S. Gorliam's descriptions of 



the sides rounded, faintly crenulate, contracted behind and 

 narrowed in front. Elytra closely and deeply punctured, 

 the punctures being frequently confluent transversely, and 

 not striate, suture a little raised. Underside shining, 

 sparingly punctate. Legs fuscous, Avith a blue tint, tarsi 

 fuscous, first three joints bilobed and lamellate ; lamellfe 

 ])aler fuscous. The antennns are of moderate length, 

 basal joint stout, blackish, spotted at apex with yellow, 

 the club has the first two joints transverse, the apical one 

 oblong.

Laricobius, Rosenhauer. 

 Type, L. Erichsoni, Rosenh. 



These singular little Clerids have much the appearance 

 of Latridii or Corticarics. A species in J\Ir. Fry's col- 

 lection, possibly identical with lituratus, Costa, is from 

 France; but Avhile L. Erichsoni is included in the Cata- 

 logue of French Col. of M. A. Grenier, Chevrolat, Rev. 

 et Mag. 1874, p. 28, records a nov. sp. as in his col- 

 lection, from Nice. In his Memoire, 1876, p. 7, he 

 notices that M. Peragallo had taken L. Erichsoni at 

 Nice with quite black elytra ; this, I presume, is the same 

 as the supposed n. sp. 



Lebasiella, Spinola. 

 Type, L. lejnda, Klug. 



Thrtocera, gen. nov. 



Type, T. pectoralis, Klug. [ Corynetes.'] 



The species for which I propose this genus is certainly 

 more nearly allied to Corynetes than to Necrobia, but has 

 a different facies, and the structure of the antennte, parti- 

 cularly of the apical joint, is very different. In this 

 respect, a second species from South Africa, which I am 

 inclined to join Avith ■pectoralis, viz. Pylus anthicoides, 

 Newm. {^ Pylus 4 maculatus, Chev.) differs still more, 

 the apical joint of this latter being oblong-elongate and 

 equal in length to the two preceding (vide note, sub 

 ' Pylus,^ ante).
