coxae, the following 3 broadly depressed along the middle and densely 

 fringed behind ; 5th short, truncate in the middle, larger at the sides, 

 medially depressed at the base ; 6th rather larger, medially emarginate 

 behind, depressed at the base ; 7th flat, subrotundate, surrcmnded by 

 the terminal, inflexed. dorsal segment. 



3834. Agatyrus fulvihirtus sp. nov. 



Body slightly convex, interruptedly narrowed anteriorly, nitid ; rufous, 

 elytra, legs, and antennae light chestnut-red, tarsi and palpi fulvescent ; 

 sparingly covered with subdepressed, rather short, bright fulvous setae. 



Head oviform, vertical in front, curvedly narrowed and ciliate behind, 

 in line with the eyes as broad as the thorax, these are moderately promi- 

 nent and large, and are placed between the antennae and its base ; it is 

 almotit abruptly narrowed in froiit, vertex convex, finely but distinctly 

 and moderately closely punctate ; frontal tubercles horizontal, apparently 

 connate in front, with a shallow impression between them near the middle. 

 Thorax oviform, longer than broad, a little wider near the middle than 

 elsewhere ; its punctation like that of the head, with a small punctiform 

 fovea at the middle of the base and a slightly larger one at each side. 

 Elytra a third broader than long, curvedly narrowed towards the base and 

 of the same width as the thorax there ; irregularly, less distinctly and 

 closely punctured than the thorax, theii' dorsal and sutural striae distinct 

 throughout, deeper and subfoveiform at the base. Hind-body at the base 

 as broad as the hind part of elytra, about a third longer, somewhat 

 deflexed behind, basal 3 segments broadly margined and about equal. 



Legs elongate, the intermediate rather longer than the others, anteiior 

 tibiae nearly straight, the others slightly flexuous. 



Antennae .stout, basal joint with depressed setae, twice as long as broad, 

 its inner .side at the base quite concave for half its length, 2iid subquadrate 

 or only .slightly longer than broad, 3rd a little narrower but longer ; joints 

 4-6 subquadrate, . 6th and 7th shorter, 9th evidently larger than 8th 

 but not as broad as the transverse 10th. the terminal oblong, a little 

 thicker than the 10th and nearly as long as the preceding three united.

3835. Inocatops spinifer sp. nov. luocatops Broun, Man. X.Z. Coleopt., 

 p. 1066. 



Convex, oblong-oval, nitid ; castaneo-rufous, antennae and legs ful- 

 vescent, tarsi and ])alpi yellow ; clothed with elongate, slender, yellow hairs, 

 those on the hind-body suberect. 



Head very small, almost cuneiform. Eyes minute, with distinct facets. 

 Thorax large, rather broader than long, curvedly narrowed towards the 

 subtruncate apex, anterior angles obsolete, lateral margins very fine ; base 

 subtruncate in the middle, deeply sinuate near the sides, with broad flattened 

 angles, these are directed somewhat backwards and fit into transverse 

 basal impressions inside the shoulders ; disc evenly convex, minutely, 

 distantly, and obsoletely punctate. Scutellar region .sunken, large, tri-
