.'JOl'-l. Gaioxenus pilipalpis sp. nov. 



SiibopiKiur, piccuus. tiiiiiuliMfs and l.iluimi rcddi.sli. jtalpi tt'staceous, 

 femora sonu'times piccon.s : til)ia(', tarsi, and antiMinac pale forruiiinoiis, 

 the last 7 joints of these hist with a central fuscous streak : hiteral margins 

 of thorax piceo-rufous, the space near each posterior angle, owing to the 

 thiuness of that part, appears rufescent and semitrunsparent. 



Uciid smooth, the forehead ohsoletely rugose ; mandibles fiiielv striate. 

 Thorax nearly a third liroader than long, widest at the hase, its sides nearlv 

 straight towards the middle and curvedly narrowed in front, sometimes 

 they are gradually narrowed from the hase to the blunt front angles; apex 

 distinctly and widely incurved and finely jnargiiiated : posterior angles 

 rectangular, hut not acute : its surface nearly smooth, hut with tine irregular 

 longitudinal striae near the middle of the hase and apex, dorsal groove 

 ahhreviated, the space near the hind angles flattened or slightly concave ; 

 sometimes there is a shallow sulciform basal impression between the middle 

 and each side. I'JIi/tra with rather broader and more reflexed margins than 

 the thorax, much narrowed, but only slightly sinuate, posteriorly ; their 

 striae simple, the marginal channels with large shallow setigerous punc- 

 tures ; interstices ])lane. densely and minutely sculptured. 



Underside piceous. slightly nitid. without evident .sculpture, the sides 

 of the metasternum only feebly rugose. Epipleurar bioad and Hat near the 

 base, gradually narrowed, so that the outer and inner margins coalesce 

 before reacliing the aj)ex. Basal ventral se</ment in the middle, twice the 

 length of the 2nd or 3rd, the -tth indistinctly bipunctate at the apex. 



Fern. — Front tarsi simple, 1st joint ol)long, 2nd and 3rd triangular, 

 4th cord i form.

3025. Zabronothus oblongus sp. nov. (ien.. .Man. X.Z. Coleopt., p. 1327. 



Oblong, rather narrow, moderately convex, nitid. nigro-piceous : the 

 labrum. mandibles, and tibiae rufescent ; the palpi, antennae, and tarsi 

 paler : femora pitchy-red ; elytral apices broadly rufescent. 



Head rather small, but little more than half the width of the thorax, 

 without definite impressions. Eifes only slightly |)rominent, yet large. 

 Thorax sulxpiadrate. about a fourth broader than long ; the apex widely, 

 the base medially, emarginate ; it is slightly wider before the middle than 

 elsewhere ; posterior angles apparently obtuse, owing to the basal margin 

 being slightly rounded towards the sides : disc finely, irregularly, trans- 

 versely lineate. the middle (»f the base with several longitudinal striae, the 

 median sulcus fine and nttt reaching the apex, basal fossae narrow. feel)ly 

 impre.s.sed and sulciform. situated about midway b(>tween the middle and 

 the sides. Scitlrlluii) very sniall. Ehjlra oblong, a little broader than the 

 thorax, humeral angles thickened but not distinctlv dentiform, their sides 

 obviously marginated but not much rounded, curvedly narrowed and 

 slightly sinuated towards the extremity : each with 7 ijn]mnctate. sharply 

 impressed, discoidal striae; interstices simple; the marginal |)uncture8 

 distinct, but al)sent near the middle, and placed close together neai tlu^ 

 shouhh-rs. 



Underside piceous. 'I'he terminal rentral siynieiit with a single .setigerous 

 ])iuicture at the apex at each side, and with numerous small punctuivs across 

 the middle.
