In structural details it corresponds with <i . spfirsiis, but it is smaller, 

 more oviform, mucli less variegated, and has rather shorter antennae; 

 the 2n(l joint of the funiculus is distinctly shorter than the 1st, and 

 the scape is more incrassate apically. The white fascia across tlie summit 

 of tiie posterior declivity is its most characteristic feature.

Atylodes gen. nov. 



Bodv suljovate, without civsts or nodosities, setigerous, the species 

 sn,a]l. 



Kostrum about a third shorter than the thorax, slightly dilated and 

 laterally subcarinate near the eyes. Tliorax of about equal length and 

 breadth, rounded but not obviously contracted in fi'ont, base truncate, 

 without oculai- loljes. Scutellum absent. Elytia eoidate or obovate, 

 closely applied to tlie thorax, of the same width, or ni'arly so, as it 

 is at the base. 



Eyes small, subrotundate. Scape medially inserted, attaining tlie 

 eye, incrassate apically. Funiculus longer than the scajie, basal joint 

 stout, elongate-triangular, the next very slender and elongate, fully as 

 long as the basal, 3rd shorter yet elongate, 4th and .Itli rather longer 

 tlian broad, 6tli and 7tli nioniliform. Club ovate, densely pulx-scent, 

 not visibly articulate. 



Femora long and thick, but unainied. Tibiae unequal, the anterior 

 flexuous, distinctly uncinate and longei' than the others, which are 

 without perceptible spurs. Tarsi densely setose underneath, sub- 

 triangular; basal joint rather small, triangular, 2nd short and broad, 

 3rd large, widely e.\]>anded and biloI)ed, the last slender, with small 

 claws. 



Pectoral canal profound, extending as far as the middle of the inter- 

 mediate coxae, with elevated borders there. Metasternum abbreviated, 

 so that the middle and hind coxae are almost contiguous. Abdomen 

 ample, half of the whole length; basal segment, in the middle, nearly 

 tlirice tlie length of the 2nd, convex, but depressed and broadly rounded 

 between the coxae, the suture between it and the 2nd completely ob- 

 literated in the middle; 3rd and 4tli very short, linear, with deep, 

 straight sutures; 5th moderately elongate. 



The asjierate, thickly squaniose surface of AcoUes, in conjunction 

 witli its strongly uncinate tibiae, differently formed tarsi and antennae, 

 and the abdominal structure, arc not in accordance Avith the characters 

 exhibited by the type of Af //lodes.

Convex, slightly nitid ; w ith numerous setae, the erect (uies elongate

 pitchy-red, antennae fulvescent, (dub fuscous. 



Kostrum smooth and convex along the middle, bisulcate and ])unctate 

 laterally to beyond the antennal insertion. Thorax moderately narrowed 

 before the middle, coarsely and closely punctate. Elytra broadly cordate, 

 slightly wider than the thorax at the base, much broadei' near the middle,
