loug, railier j^ciitly narrowed aiiteiioily, linely iiiargiiK-il laterally, the 

 base lueilially t rum-ate, its rectangular angles directed backwards and 

 resting on the shoulders; very tinely and irregularly i)niictured, so 

 as to appear smooth on some parts. Scutellum invisil)le. Elytra not 

 ipiite as long as broad, hardly as wide as the thorax, thtir slioulders 

 obtuso. tlic sides distinctly maigined, nearly straight, slightly narrowed 

 pisterim ly, the apices obliijue towards the suture, with aliiK.st rect- 

 angular angles; their sculpt uri- ill dfiine'il, apparently irregularly 

 transversely strigoso. llind-lKtdy (juite half of the whole length, its 

 basal four segments linely imnctate, the 1st longer than the 2nd, which 

 scarcely exceeds thf Mid or 4th, oth and 6th elongate, less ei>ppi'ry, and 

 more or less h)ngitundinally asperate. 



iiegs moderately eh)ngate; anterior til)iae thicker than the others, 

 with dense, rigid, external ciliae, the others stiaight, bearing very few 

 erect setae, and very coaisely fiinged at the extremity; front tarsi 

 l)ubescent and setose, the basal three joints dilated, the 2nd and 3rd 

 narrowed towards tlie base and (piite angulate tliere, the 4th very small 

 and rather slender, the terminal nearly as long as the i)receding ones 

 combined ; the posterior ]»air slendei", finely ciliate, and exceeding the 

 tibiae in length. 



Antennae longer than the liead and thorax, with fine pubescence and 

 a few dark longish setae; basal two joints elongate, yet rather shorter 

 than tlie Mrd or 4th, joints ')-!() successively shortened and expanded, 

 8-10 (|uite obconical, 11th subovate, evidently larger than the penulti- 

 mate, obliquely narrowed outwardly. 



'Iliis apj)i'<iaehes ('. hafhiix, 180, in many respects, but is differen- 

 tiated liy its longer antriinae, coppery abdomen, and asperate tei-minal 

 segments.

 collected for me by Mr. W. J. Guinness, May, 1911. 



339t!. Conurus laetulus sp. nov. 



Nitid, castaneo-rufous, l)ase of the thorax jjiceoiis, elytra witli a 

 well-marked fuscous sutural spot near the base, and 2 or 'i less distinct 

 ones; antennae and legs fiasco-fulvous, tarsi paler; the vestiture yel- 

 lowi.sh, distinct and suberect, the black setae along the sides of the 

 elytra and abdomen and on the a])ical segment elongate and erect. 



Head witliout definite marks. Thorax conical, a third broader than 

 long; ba.se truncate, its oI)tusely rectangular angles a little wider than 

 the shoulders but not prolonged over them; the apex somewhat medially 

 rounded, sinuate towards the sides, with rectangular angles; the surface 

 ap])ears .smooth, lateral margins feebly developed. Elytra a third longer 

 than the thorax, similarly margin atfd, very slightly and gradually 

 narrowed backwards, witli feebly rovuuled subtiuncate apices; their fine 

 sculpture rendered indistinct by the pul)escence. Hind-body bright, 

 gradually attenuate, half of the entire length, finely punctate, segments 

 2—4 of nearly the same hiigth, r)fh and (Wli moie ilongate, the basal 

 shorter than the 2nd. 



Tibae (the hind pairs) linely ciliali^ along the outside, coar.sely at 

 the extremity, and bearing very few spiniform setae i'xteiiially, the 

 intermediate pair inwardly narrowed at the l)ase, and slightly bent near 

 the midille.
