segments litn-i/.tintul, sli<ilitlv (lc(ir;i>iii<: in U'li^^tli, tlir 1st tiaiisvei-sely 

 impressed at the base. 



Ia'^'s moderately elouyate and slcnd*^ r ; the front and middle tibiae 

 slij^litly arclied o>:ternally ; tlie jiostn ior inoii' si lono'ly arelied and ex- 

 panded below till' middle, ;!nd from that point distinctlv ciirvedly 

 nariowiMl to the slender exticniity, their tarsi ratlier lonyci- tlian the 

 others. 



Antennae nearly as long as x\iv htad and thorax, with verv slender 

 pubesecnce; 2nd joint stout, oblong-oval, almost as huge as the basal, 

 .3i-d hardly longer tlian broad, distinctly narroAved at the base; joints 

 4-8 sliort and bead-like, the 5th and 7th slightly larger tlian adjacent 

 ones; !Mh and 10th subquadrate, tlav former the smaller yet nearly double 

 the bulk of the Sth ; terminal conical, nearly the lengtli of the preceding 

 three united. 



Underside chestnut-red, Avith tine pubescence. Prostei-num carinate 

 along the middle. Metasternum convex. Abdomen elongate, basal 

 segment acutely angulate between the coxae, segments 2-4 slightly de- 

 crease; 5t]i shorter than 4th in the middle but nearly as long at the 

 sides, Gth deeply emarginatt', slightly longei- than the .Ifli, tln' terminal 

 longei', the o])erculum oblong but rounded at tlie extremity. 



The foi-m of till- i)osterio)- tibiae is jieculiar, and will at once lead to 

 its identification.

3527. Euplectopsis terrestris sp. nov. 



Subdepressed, elongate, nitid; light castaneo-iufous, elytra somewhat 

 fulvescent, legs and antennae paler, tarsi and palpi flavescent; with 

 distinct, moderately elongate, subdecunibent, yellowish jjubescence, rather 

 coarser on the abdomen and with a few upright setae there. 



Head evidently smaller than the thorax, subovate, genae nearly 

 straight, with obtuse hind angles; finely but not closely punctate, the 

 foveae moderately large and deep, placed just behind the eyes, and more 

 or less confluent with the depressed anterioi' portion, the antennal 

 tidiercles distant and a little elevated. Eyes moderate, placed behind the 

 middle. Thorax rather longer than broad, moderately rounded and 

 widest at or just before the nuddle, obliquely nai'rowed towards the apex 

 and not as broad there as tlie head; it is finely and distantly punctured, 

 the discal channel is ])road and deep and extends almost from the apex 

 to the basal depression, which reaches the hind margin, lateral foveae 

 deep so that the sides in front of them apjiear swollen, the transverse 

 connecting groove is distinct. Klytia ol:)lor,g, slightly naridwed near 

 the base, broader and a third longvr than the thorax, with somewhat ill- 

 delijied punctures; sutural striae Avell marked, punctiform at the base, 

 where there is a puncture near each; dorsal striae l)road and moderately 

 deep at the base, becoming indistinct towards the middle. Hind-body 

 ratlier shorter than the elytra, the basal tliree segments slightly increasing 

 in lengtli, the 1st with a median transverse depi-ession at the base, 

 terminal segments deflexed. Legs simjjle, modci'ately elongate. 



Antennae of al)out tlie same lengtli as th(^ head ami thorax, 2nd joint 

 oblong-oval and as lon^ as tlie visible poil ion of the l)asal, 3rd rather 

 longer than broad and distinctly narrowed near the base; joints 4-7 

 small and bead-like, the "ith and 7th slightly laiger; 8-10 transversal,
